Becoming Neolithic in words, thoughts and deeds |
|
[quote]Abstract |
|
How did people come to �think Neolithic�? While there has been |
|
considerable progress in reconstructing the environmental, |
|
economic, technological and social changes associated with the |
|
transition from mobile hunter-gathering to sedentary farming and |
|
herding communities, we remain limited in our understanding of |
|
how Neolithic culture in its most profound sense arose. I |
|
suggest that the formation of new words required for that new |
|
lifestyle was as much a driver as a consequence of the Neolithic |
|
transition, illustrating this with a sample of Neolithic |
|
innovations from the southern Levant that appears likely to have |
|
required new words. Such words, I argue, helped to establish new |
|
concepts in the mind, shaped thought, influenced perception and |
|
ultimately the human deeds in the world that left an |
|
archaeological trace.[/quote] |
|
[quote]Introduction |
|
I wish to draw attention to the wordsmiths of the Neolithic |
|
transition: those people within the Epi-Palaeolithic and early |
|
Neolithic communities who invented the words required for the |
|
new sedentary and farming way of life that was consolidated |
|
around 10,000 years ago. Such word invention might have been |
|
deliberate or accidental, made by children playing or by figures |
|
of authority. We simply do not know. But my proposition is that |
|
such words not merely aided communication but enabled new |
|
concepts to become established in the mind, which then shaped |
|
thought and influenced the manner in which the world was |
|
perceived. As such, they were as much a driver as a consequence |
|
of cultural change from the Palaeolithic into the Neolithic, and |
|
beyond.[/quote] |

Is it a mere coincidence then as humanity struggles with growing |
|
tribalism in modernity human-beings have become increasingly bad |
|
listeners? |

Is it surprising that Westerners are bad listeners considering |
|
the "white" tribalism they spread around the world via Western |

colonialism? |

Is it coincidence that as America has become increasingly |
|
Western via the U.S.A. that Americans have become terrible |

listeners as well? |
