Hunter-gatherer culture developed among the early hominins of Africa, with evidence of their activities dating as far back as 2 million years ago. Among their distinguishing characteristics, the hunter-gatherers actively killed animals for food instead of scavenging meat left behind by other predators and devised ways of setting aside vegetation for consumption at a later date. The culture accelerated with the appearance of Homo erectus (1.9 million years ago), whose larger brain and shorter digestive system reflected the increased consumption of meat. Additionally, these were the first hominins built for long-distance walking, pushing nomadic tribes into Asia and Europe. In this book, the author tells the story of returning from hunting with the Aborigines to learn how to become a hunter-gatherer in Britain. As she learns to find wild food, she discovers a forgotten path we used to take which fits us perfectly into the ecosystem. On this path, we lived like kings without destroying anything at all. "All you have to do to find the path through 4,000 years of progress and development, is to think in a different way." She also explores through the unsolved mysteries of our past to find out what really happened to separate us from Nature and the way of life we loved most. At a time when so many people are looking for alternatives, this book is the only way of life that is proven to work on all levels and for all time.
