that everybody was totally equal and that it was like classical communism. You know, like food was distributed according to need. Everyone's starved. And the reason for this, like in the Bushmen, you know, the Bushmen of, which for a while you weren't supposed to say the word Bushmen. Now you're supposed to say Bushmen again, apparently.

You're supposed to call them like the San people or the Kung people. But now I've read some things that some people actually think Bushman is a better word. I don't know. So I've said all three words now, so I should be safe.

Yeah, yeah. So... They have this wonderful ritual in their group that's called insulting the meat. And the way it works is when the young hunters come back from hunting, you know, like one, you know, most of them probably got nothing and one of them got like a little rabbit and then one of them got an antelope.

And the way it works is when the young hunters come back from hunting, you know, like one, you know, most of them probably got nothing and one of them got like a little rabbit and then one of them got an antelope.

And so the old men and women of the village, when hunters come back, they start insulting the hunter who got the antelope. And they're like, look at that scrawny thing. There's practically no meat on it. What is that, a mouse? And they kind of go on like that in the way that you could picture uncles in Brooklyn on their stoop.

They're shit-talking, essentially. And they call it insulting the meat. And so anthropologists said, oh, look, they obviously don't.

want to have any status differentiation but but sort of modern modern anthropologists who use more biological methods what they they're really into measuring uh fertility so they'll they'll measure for you know over time you know living with a group they'll measure okay which hunters were successful most often like what's the batting average of these different hunters and then 10 years later okay which of these hunters has the most children you know

And surprise, surprise the correlation between status measured by successful hunts and, um, And reproductive success is just as high in the hunter-gatherer group as it is in the kingdoms, in the groups that celebrate inequality.
