Honestly, sure- we were freed from the "clutches" of nature but as I said in my own debate, we've become slaves to ourselves. As one of the most classic movies quotes: "we're forced to work jobs we hate to buy stuff we don't need." I'd rather have nature select our paths, because humans tend to make drastic and dubious mistakes that are hardly justifiable, genocide for example.

So your saying that it was a good thing that Paleolithic people adopted agriculture ? Yet, you are Supposed to be arguing why agriculture was not as great as we should believe. Nevertheless, i do agree that the Neolithic age helped man discover our paths rather than nature do it for us. This escape from the clutches of nature was found through domestication which made man break the balance of nature by creating our own food rather nature for us.

I disagree with both of you because I believe that on the contrary, Paleolithics did in fact have a choice in everything they did. Yes, they had to make some hard choices like infanticide, but it was their choice to live a simple life where they had control instead of a society. They knew in order to survive and live a happier life sacrifices had to be made. The only choice they were forced to make was adapting to agriculture in my opinion.

Let's discuss your first sentence: You said that the actions of Paleolithic humans "wasn't their choice". So you agree? Neolithic society and those living in it had a larger number of freedoms according to that statement. That and you know the incas CHOSE to commit infancide. There is a large difference in being forced to commit heinous acts and choosing to. Do you also not believe that there were not quarrels over food in the Paleolithic age? It is unlikely... Done.

Okay but the tyranny of nature wasn't their choice just like killing their babies like you said they were "FORCED" too. Unlike those in the Neolithic age it was those who were more richer than everybody else to have control and create tyranny. Also in the Neolithic age they killed their babies not because they were forced to but because of ritual sacrafices which was practiced by the inca's which makes things worse. You say why couldn't the tribes come together peacefully? Yet in Neolithic era their was a lot of wars over power, money, desiring to have a own other's lands as yours and in the process killing innocent lives who were deemed as enemies or using them as slaves. So you tell me which era is more peaceful? Done.

Would you like to stress the many freedoms humans had in the Paleolithic era? I don't see many, as Paleolithic humans were within the chains of another tyranny: the tyranny of Nature. Why did the Tribes of Paleolithic times constantly move from place to place? Because their conditions FORCED them to. Why couldn't the Paleolithic tribes come together peacefully? Because there was only so much food and, unless you wanted to fight for your share you were better off leaving. Why were these Paleolithic humans reduced to committing infanticide? Because they were left NO CHOICE in the matter due to the viscous cycle that was held in nature. The agricultural revolution allowed humans to take control of their destinies and take the reigns of the path to the future. The tyranny of Man was in fact more pragmatic than the Tyranny of Nature as progress was made in the former, while humans walked in circles in the latter. Done.

The women may have done the same roles as those in the Neolithic age but the men in the Paleolithic age respected the women and the women were in the same level as the men, where as in the Neolithic age the men treated women as second class they didn't have any freedoms to speak when men are talking, and such. You also say that they had more freedoms when really the Neolithic era did enslave people and take their freedom from them because people were to lazy to farm for themselves, also what freedom can they have when because of farming they had free time to create to government of tyranny, so the people under those governments have limited freedom about what they do or say. Done.

During the Paleolithic age you must remember that gender roles were more or less the same. What did women do? They cooked food, tended to the children, and foraged for fresh fruit, possibly all at the same time. In the Neolithic age, not having to worry about food gave all humans more freedoms. Not only could hours be passed performing tasks otherwise non-essential to survival it gave us a chance to think and improve our equipment to make life easier. Done

During the Neolithic age they may have created building and such but it also brought inequality in gender roles like women had to stay home and take care of the kids and cook dinner for the husband and the kids, the woman didn't have much freedom to do what they want. Where as during the Paleolithic age everyone was treated equal and men respected women because they understood how much they have done to contribute to the tribe. Also in the Neolithic age they may have made fine art, but hunter and gatherers had great paintings and sculptures way before them. Done.

The Neolithic age is better than the Paleolithic age because, unlike the hunter and gatherers, early farmers had the freedom to choose what to do in their off times. A hunter-gatherer is stuck in a savage pattern. Hunter-gatherers must Move then kill then eat and move and kill and eat over and over again. Humans managed to create fine art, build kingdoms and catalog history itself because they no longer had to move and fight for their food. Done

Paleolithic age is better than the Neolithic age is because the hunter and gatherers were found to have better teeth and bones than those who farmed in the Neolithic age. Done.
