Alfred001 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Can anyone recommend a documentary about the lives of hunter gatherers, I'm especially looking for something dealing with violence in such societies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Hagar Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 One older Discovery documentry dealing with Neanderthals did mention them being cannibalistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Squared Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I recall a comparison made by a forensic anthropologist of a Neanderthal hunter skeleton to the pattern of injuries sustained by various occupational groups today. The conclusion was the closest matched pattern was with rodeo clowns. Since humans are like large ornery animals, close combat with peers might have been at least partly responsible for a portion of those injuries.
