  From my casual reading of history and what was invented/discovered at what times in different areas, life before, say, 1830-1850 would be unrecognizable to us. Hell, drop me back in my teens and I’d struggle to remember how to navigate the 80s! In just 55-years, I’ve seen such radical changes I sometimes feel swamped by history and tech.

  Do they have any hunter gatherer reenactment societies?

  Apples to oranges comparing the early modern era, anywhere back to classical days, to prehistory.

    It is. Being a hunter gatherer is significantly worse, but you won’t find many reenactors who will go for a weekend of prehistory.

      Maybe we’d see more caveman reenacting if mammoth burgers were a possibility

      I disagree if you are claiming being a hunter gatherer was worse than being a farmer. As do a lot of archeologists. For the reasons I already stated.

      Farmers are at the mercy of the rulers of that region. They can’t just leave. They become slaves.
