The Good Days-They Were Rotten

Research from Britain shows that early societies were no edens of folks livng in sylvan peace and eating high fiber food while holding all day tribal drumming fests:

A survey of British skulls from the early part of the New Stone Age, or Neolithic, shows societies then were more violent than was supposed.

Early Neolithic Britons had a one in 20 chance of suffering a skull fracture at the hands of someone else and a one in 50 chance of dying from their injuries.

Once again it looks like the human condition improved as society and technology adcanced.

What, everyone did not live in harmony under the guidance of the goddess? No days of stress free community involvement and family bonding? Didn't everyone live, longer and healthier lives thanks to an all natural diet washed down with pristine spring water?
