Summary

Ancient Harvest Tools explores the pivotal role of early implements in transforming nomadic hunter-gatherers into settled agricultural societies. It highlights how the Neolithic Revolution was propelled by innovations in manual crop gathering, setting the stage for population growth and complex civilizations. Early farmers ingeniously crafted tools from available resources, with the development of flint sickles marking a significant advancement. These tools not only increased efficiency but also facilitated the development of more intricate social and economic structures. The book delves into the evolution of harvesting tools across diverse cultures, examining the materials and techniques employed in their construction. Through archaeological findings and ethnographic studies, the narrative reveals how environmental factors and cultural practices influenced tool design, from winnowing devices to specialized harvesting knives. Ancient Harvest Tools emphasizes the importance of these tools in addressing early food security challenges, providing insights into the technological foundations of complex societies. Structured to offer a comprehensive overview, the book progresses from the origins of harvesting tools to their social and economic implications. It analyzes specific tool types and techniques, culminating in a discussion of their impact on labor organization, food storage, and trade. This approach connects archaeology with anthropology, environmental science, and material science, offering a unique perspective on the interplay between technology and society in ancient civilizations.

Father Nature - The Science of...

James K. Rilling

We all know the importance of mothers. They are typically as paramount in the wild as they are in human relationships. But what about fathers? In most mammals, fathers have little to no involvement in raising their offspring—and sometimes even kill the offspring sired by other fathers. How, then, can we explain modern fathers having the capacity to be highly engaged parents? In Father Nature, James Rilling explores how humans have evolved to endow modern fathers with this potential and considers why this capacity evolved in humans. 
 
 
 
Paternal caregiving is advantageous to children and to society at large, yet variable both across and within human societies. Rilling considers how to explain this variability and what social and policy changes might be implemented to increase positive paternal involvement. Along the way, Father Nature also covers the impact fathers have on children's development, the evolution of paternal caregiving, how natural selection adapted male physiology for caregiving, and what lessons an expecting father can take away from the book, as well as what benefits they themselves get from raising children, including increased longevity and "younger" brains. 
 
 
 
A beautifully written book by a father himself, Father Nature is a much-needed—and deeply rewarding—look at the science behind "good" paternal behavior in humans.
