GM: about the transition to agricolture, are you familiar with "Against the grarin" James C. Scott (2017)?

GM back to you. I am not familiar with it, no. Should I check it out?

It depends: if you want an interesting view of the transition to agriculture, absolutely. The main take about what you are talking about is that the transition was not (for the greater part of the people involved) a voluntary process, but an indentured servitude imposed by warlords on semi-farmers.

But maybe it is not so important in evolutionary psycology.

No worries on that front - as long as it's interesting material well-executed, I'll enjoy it. Thanks for the recommendation and for reading.
