Iām almost surprised no one has mentioned this, but then again, it sometimes feels almost taboo to bring it upā¦ but I was talking with my dad the other day, and he mentioned to me something heās mentioned to me before, that, because of his poor eyesight, he would not have survived in a hunter-gatherer type society, and it was only the agricultural society that allows and supports the āweakā to liveā¦
Now I realize that having acute senses has importance to said lifestyle, and such would follow the āsurvival of the fittestā paradigm, Iām not going to define what āisā and āisnātā āfitā but, has civilization by supporting and allowing the āweakā to live resulted in a sort of - āde-evolutionā (horrible word >>), or, is civilization really the cause of such?
And secondly, in a feral culture, what about glasses / eye problems?? Or if say I have a child and that child develops eye problems later in life? (This isnāt the sort of thing where the baby just doesnāt live, or has a retardation or something like that and you can tell when the baby is bornā¦)
Now you donāt see say the (early) native Americans running around with glasses, but, what evidence do we have of what may have been done in such cases in indigenous societies, (if such arose)?
