RE:RE Agriculture was mankind's biggest mistake

I said "overestimating", that aside my opponent makes the claim that constant moving helps develop technology, through association, but fails to recognize my underling point, that archeologists found that Hunter gatherers never stayed in a place for more than two weeks, thus they are limited in technological advancements. One cannot invent a car when one is moving very 2 weeks. My opponent claims there was no War among the crow before the white man; that is false, the crow warred with each other before the white man. The largest reason for war among the crow prior to the white man was competition for game. If you are tracking a herd of Buffalo, than some other tribe spots the same herd, both tribes will try to kill the herd. Again Early humans warred with Neanderthals over Hunting territory, prior to the Neolithic era. My opponent claims prior to the settlement of the white Man, Native Americans did not have wars, yet the reason Squanto helped the pilgrims is so that they could form an alliance between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims, because the Wampanog was weaken by plague and their long time enemies the Narragansetts could take advantage of this to wipe them out. Prior to the Pilgrims Native Americans did wage war, but it was usually over food, supplies, or tribal feuds, and usually took the form of bloody raids, or ambushes. After the Pilgrims arrived the Native Americans was able to trade for better weapons, such as guns, and metal weapons; prior to the white man's arrive, they used bone and rock based weapons. My opponent claims proving Envy is natural instinct is irreverent, however it is relevant to show that envy is not solely a product of agriculture, as my opponent has previously claimed. My opponent claims "If disease if spread due to travel then it would occur more in post agricultural times. Caravans had a reason to go back and forth, nomadic hunter and gathers only moved because the animals did."; this is false. If you travel every 2 weeks, they are more likely to get sick, than a merchant traveling every other month. Further more, if your food supply depends on being able to travel, getting sick is a death sentence, because it slows you down, and those who are sick need rest. My opponent claims"Native Americans died so easily to small pox because of the exposer to the European dieses, what took their ancestors thousands of years to do, the settlers did in a matter of months, cross the Atlantic Ocean." That is exactly my point, change the word Native American to Russian, and change the word small pox to Disease X, and you have the same concept. I stated before that one of the reasons Archeologist believe Neanderthals went extinct was because of war with humans; another explanation archeologist claim is that humans from Africa brought germs they was not immune to and wiped them out through disease. That was before the Neolithic era, and it could have easily been the reverse. As for over population and competition for food; Earth's population density is roughly 72.69 per sq mile In the year 10,000 BC the population density was roughly 0.01 per sq mile. In other words, in 10,000 BC everyone had 100 miles each to hunt or forage on. Today everyone has 0.01 miles each to hunt or forage on. If we was hunter gathers today we would be in constant war with rival tribes, or we would starve. In the Paleolithic Era several hominid species existed, only one survived into the Neolithic era, Homo sapiens. That was because they adapted, and the Neolithic Revolution helped humanity survive. Anthropologists such as Tim White suggest that cannibalism was common in human societies prior to the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic, based on the large amount of "butchered human" bones found in Lower/Middle Paleolithic sites. Cannibalism in the Lower and Middle Paleolithic likely occurred because of food shortages. Maybe this is just me but I prefer grossery shopping to eating my next door neighbor. It was the Paleolithic era that developped social stratification, slavery and complex social structures such as chiefdoms; it was not the Neolithic era as my opponent suggested. It's true that Paleolithic people suffered less malnutrition than the Neolithic era, but if they continued to be hunter gatherers they would have died out through malnutrition. According to professor of geography Carl Sauer, archaeologist Lewis Binford and archaeologist Kent Flannery the reason for the Neolithic revolution in the first place was that the tribes required more food than could be gathered. My opponent seems focused on the "healthy" diet of the Hunter gatherers, but they ate far too much meat, and consumed too much protein to actually call it "healthy". Calcium, oxalate and uric acid are excreted more by your body when you eat a high-protein diet, especially when the protein source is animal-based. Reduction of animal products in your diet is recommended by the American Academy of Family Physicians in order to prevent recurring kidney stones. High consumption of protein can force calcium out of your body, making meat-eating diets more likely to induce bone loss that leads to osteoporosis, according to PCRM. A meat-based diet may produce as much as double the risk of gallstone production in women, according to PCRM, due to higher cholesterol and fat in the diet. Eating more Meat helps increase the risk of cancer. A study conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, or PCRM, showed vegetarians to be 40 percent less likely to develop cancer than meat-eaters. Animal products are the only source of cholesterol and the top source of saturated fat, which is closely linked to heart disease. Nutritionists have observed that switching to a plant based diet lowers your blood pressure. A plant-based diet allows insulin to work more efficiently when combined with low-fat foods and exercise, helping to lower risks and even reversing symptoms of type 2 diabetes, per PCRM. Antioxidants may help prevent cataracts and carotenoids may prevent retina deterioration, according to the United States Department of Agriculture's Research Service. Antioxidants and carotenoids are both more prevalent in plant-based diets than meaty diets. A study conducted by PCRM in 1985 showed asthmatics that ate a plant-based diet for one year vastly improved their symptoms and lessened the need for medications. 22 out of 24 study participants reported marked improvement after eating a plant-based diet.
