We discuss an introduction of Stone Age Herbalist, or Herb's, book. I go over what some of the essays are. We discuss how Anthropology and Archaeology differ in Europe and North America. We talk about old anthropological methods. We talk about where anthropology went wrong and what happened WWII and after-WWII did to create this scenario. We discuss the specifics of WEIRD. We discuss issues with anthropology today and what people like Stone Age Herbalist and I do differently and the methods we use. We discuss non-free people and the institutions around them and the anthropological position on the prominence of the Trans-Atlantic. We discuss 60s Anthropology and the noble savage trope with related issues. We discuss misunderstandings of people's practices and a few specifics of primitive societies. We discuss the consent of one modern path to success when ancient peoples had many and its relation to patriarchy and matriarchy. We discuss pastoralism, agriculture, how cultures can switch between them and utilize new foreign technology within their culture.  We discuss the likely lost civilizations in the Amazon and the archaeological methods used to find their artifacts and the implications for our understanding of people moving between vastly different methods of subsistence. We discuss uncontacted tribes and how they are really contacted and just have the "do not disturb" sign up.
