Chapter one
My initial thought after reading a couple of the first chapters is excitement, because there is little information I know on our world and it's beginning. I know now that the first human migration started in Africa and when leaving went: Africa --> Middle East --> Europe --> Asia. And the last human migration took place in, none other, the Pacific Ocean. Another interesting fact that struck me, was finding out that the Paleolithic people were addicted to a psychoactive plant called pituri. I've always known that the earliest people practiced using plants and herbs as their medicine but I had never heard of pituri. For some reason it made me wonder why the Paleo. people became addicted to it in the first place; did they just like it or was something going on in their lives that made them addicted? I also found it wild to think that the Paleo. communities were made up of only 25-50 people. Which brings me to question... What would it be like to live in a nonmaterial world with communities of only 50 people?
