INFERENCE: Evidence about the lives of prehistoric sapients
comes from paleontology and archeology, which can find only
the durable material things that have been preserved, and
from comparison of ethnographic reports. Goldenweiser
attacks the latter method; Naroll defends it.

... what right has the evolutionist to arrange instances
of cultural facts or processes gathered from different
tribes into a successive series, and then claim it as
historical, that is, that it actually occurred in this
form, that the different instances were comprised in a
concrete historic series of stages at some particular
place and time, or in all places and times ... ? (p. 508)

"How then may we dare to infer the past history of mankind
as a whole from the present conditions of specific peo-
ples?" (1) By relying on psychic unity: For 25,000 years
or more, all sapients have had approximately the same
"innate mental characteristics"; hence contemporary "func-
tional associations among culture traits" are valid for
all of that period. (2) 25,000 years ago communities of
sapients were all small; hence traits "functionally asso-
ciated with small settlement populations may be expected
to have prevailed, by and large, in the past as in the
present" (p. 332).

6 "central propositions":
[1] Agriculture is "an accumulation of techniques" and
most of them are known to foragers, who could use them
more than they do without a conceptual advance.
[2] Agriculture is harder work than foraging, and yields a
poorer diet, but provides "more calories per unit of land
per unit of time".
[3] Population growth has occurred always and everywhere.
[4] Population pressure is effectively "balanced from
region to region". Most of Earth reached the limit for
foraging at about the same time.
[5] Agriculture began at about the same time in several
places, far apart.
[6] Agriculture was "only one in a long series of ecologi-
cal adaptations to increased population." [pp. 15-16]

Less than 10% of languages have evolved an indigenous
written form. Barely 100 with significant body of litera-
ture. Writing "cannot be reduced to / a system for repro-
ducing the sounds of spoken language, but rather that it
is a system of representing ideas in its own right."
"pinpointed the invention of writing to the invention of
'slotting' systems for accounting" [E.g., type slot +
number slot.] "'evolutionary fallacy'" No gradual tran-
sition from drawing to writing. [Notes from Donald; see

Major explanation is ecological, an Oriental-despotic
state based on irrigation. By analogy to West Africa: A
city grows in response to the dynamic interplay between
exports and imports. The initial kick comes from the
replacement of import with export; explosive growth is the
resuslt of the replacement of old work with new, more
differentiated work made available by new diverse imports.
