The Neolithic began at different times, depending on how and when the warming of the Holocene made agriculture viable. While there is some evidence of humans deliberately planting seeds prior to the beginning of the First Agricultural Revolution (another name for the Neolithic), it wasn't until the Holocene that it was practical to shift from a hunter-gatherer type society to a settled agrarian one. Not all people chose to settle, though, such as those in Sub-Sahara Africa and Australia, and there is evidence of people moving between settled and nomadic life styles, depending on local climate. This was the beginning of the type of society that we're more familiar with.[image text] [slide 1] Neolithic about 10,000 BCE to 2000 BCE

Key features: farming, animal domestication, settlements (also known as the Neolithic Revolution or the First Agricultural Revolution

Lasted through the Protodynastic period in Egypt (about 3150 BCE) and the rise of the pre-Shang Erlitou culture in China (about 2000 BCE)

The climate changes of the Younger Dryas cold climate changed to the warmer Holocene

Happened in many places at once, leading to local varieties of plants and animals

Crops in the Levant and Fertile Crescent included wheat, lentils, peas, chickpeas, and flax. In much of Asia, the predominant crop was rice. In the New world, maize and potatoes were the predominant crops.

Animals that were domesticated include dogs, sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs

[slide 2]

Pottery became much more common as people started living in settlements, appearing at different times in each area, often with distinct patterns and decorations being used in an area

Goblekli Tepe build around 9500 BCE - may be the oldest human built center of worship used by nomadic peoples

Remains of figs in Jericho (Tell es-Sultan) dated 9400 BCE- oldest evidence of human cultivated food as figs couldn't be pollinated by insects, but reproduced via cuttings

In Sub-Saharan Africa, development tended toward pastoralism, following herds, rather than settlements.

Crop domestication occurred by 4500 BCE (the Formative Stage) in Mesoamerica, possibly starting as early as 11,000-10,000 BCE (the Archaic Era)

In Australia, a hunter-gatherer lifestyle largely continued until the arrival of the Europeans in 1788 CE, though there is evidence for 'fire farming,' deliberately setting fires to clear underbrush, to open forests for the growth of grasslands, to encourage plants to produce a green flush, to attract and to drive game for hunting

Top 5 doomed expeditions

bet you thought this was going to be the franklin expedition huh? well it's not. it's endurance baby!!!!!!!!! genuinely i have to not talk about this one because it makes me so emotional. how the FUCK did those guys survive. one of the questions asked during recruitment was whether you could "shout along with the boys". endurance is destroyed on her maiden voyage she was "a bride of the sea" but we FOUND HER my beautiful wife at the bottom of the weddell sea. shackleton and the lads sail 1300 km of the most dangerous water in the world in an open lifeboat and scale cliffs for five (?) days to find help and they DO and three months after they left, they return to the rest of the crew and nobody has fucking died. every single member of the expedition survived--albeit many after losing toes to frostbite and getting severe scurvy. just this once everybody lives!! also the shenanigans! shackleton told perce blackborrow that stowaways will get eaten first if it comes to that and sweet baby perce blackborrow said "there's more meat on your sir" and then everyone got along :) frank hurley and leonard hussey shoved handfuls of lentils in thomas orde-lees's open mouth when he wouldn't stop snoring. they named the cat mrs. chippy because it was obsessed with the carpenter (called "chippy") and now that cat's grave is decorated and cared for by people over a century later (also thank u mrs chippy for your sacrifice and also for naming MY mrs chippy <3). i have been debating writing an essay about the More Life of it all but especially all of frank hurley's photographs however it would come out as incomprehensible as this. my first month in china i missed my stop on the last metro of the night because i was detailing this expedition to my friends back home and i didn't have my mobile payment set up yet so i had to pay an exorbitant amount of money in cash for a taxi to go one (1) single kilometre

i mean, as tumblr user nedlittle, i am contractually obligated to say cold boy winter 4ever. 177 years ago, 128 men went missing in the arctic circle and as a result i have made friends for life <3. endlessly fascinating as a historical event and a classic example of imperialistic hubris those guys absolutely should not have been up there but they did and now a weird canadian identity has emerged as a result. i remember waking up to news that they found the wrecks and absolutely losing my mind

franklin adjacent doomed australian expeditions! a two-parter! so in 1861, the burke & wills expedition set off with a goal of crossing western australia from south-north and everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. 7 out of the 23 men died (wills perished either on my birthday or canada day) and only one guy made it across the continent and back to melbourne alive. beyond the fact that william john wills was the first cousin of erebus lieutenant h.t.d. "get in the soupp" le vesconte, there are a couple other similarities with franklin's expedition including death by scurvy, the food that they were eating was probably killing them (the early reports of lead poisoning with franklin; burke & wills ate seed bread after their rations ran out but depleted their thiamine levels and likely gave them beriberi because it probably wasn't prepared properly), relief efforts were sent but found little more than graves and bones, burke & wills tried to reach a place called mt. hopeless while the southernmost point any of franklin's men were known to reach was starvation cove on the adelaide peninsula. and THEN in 1874 another australian expedition led by ernest giles attempted to cross the deserts of western australia from east to west (looking at a map, they didn't go a very good job). the expedition was mostly fine except for one dude who straight-up vanished into the desert and was never seen again. that dude? alfred gibson, younger brother of terror steward william "breakup gone wrong" gibson

i didn't know a lot about the belgica before i read madhouse at the end of the world which was fantastic! everyone was having experience psychological terrorism as a result of antarctic isolation meanwhile motherfucker unlimited roald amundsen and scam king frederick cook were having the boys trip of the millennium. 19 men and innumerable rats. gentoo penguins are communists. tfw you almost shoot you doctor because you thought he was a seal

i am not as big of a fan of scott as some of my beloved mutuals but damned if i didn't devour the worst journey in the world. there are passages i think about daily. one time i was shivering really horribly during a migraine and all i could think of was that one passage where cherry talks about shivering so badly he thought his spine would snap. i am currently experiencing Cold and Wind and if i go outside...oh cherry we're really in it now

"

UNRWA’s role in documenting the genocide, as well as providing food and aid to the Palestinians, infuriates the Israeli government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused UNRWA after the ruling of providing false information to the ICJ. Already an Israeli target for decades, Israel decided that UNRWA, which supports 5.9 million Palestinian refugees across the Middle East with clinics, schools and food, had to be eliminated. Israel’s destruction of UNRWA serves a political as well as material objective. 

The evidence-free Israeli accusations against UNRWA that a dozen of the 13,000 employees had links to those who carried out the attacks in Israel on Oct. 7 did the trick. It saw 16 major donors, including the United States, the U.K., Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Estonia and Japan, suspend financial support for the relief agency on which nearly every Palestinian in Gaza depends for food. Israel has killed 152 UNRWA workers and damaged 147 UNRWA installations since the attacks inside Israel by Hamas and other resistance groups on Oct. 7 that killed some 1,200 Israelis. Israel has also bombed UNRWA relief trucks. 

More than 27,708 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, some 67,000 have been wounded and at least 7,000 are missing, most likely dead and buried under the rubble.

More than half a million Palestinians – one in four – are starving in Gaza, according to the U.N. Starvation will soon be ubiquitous. Palestinians in Gaza, 1.7 million of whom have been internally displaced, lack not only sufficient food, but clean water, shelter and medicine. There are few fruits or vegetables. There is little flour to make bread. Pasta, along with meat, cheese and eggs, have disappeared. Black market prices for dry goods such as lentils and beans have increased 25 times from pre-war prices. A bag of flour on the black market has risen from $8.00 to $200 dollars. The healthcare system in Gaza, with only three of Gaza’s 36 hospitals left partially functioning, has largely collapsed. Some 1.3 million displaced Palestinians live on the streets of the southern city of Rafah, which Israel designated a “safe zone,” but has begun to bomb. Families shiver in the winter rains under flimsy tarps amid pools of raw sewage. An estimated 90 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes.

“There is no instance since the Second World War in which an entire population has been reduced to extreme hunger and destitution with such speed,” writes Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation at Tufts University and the author of “Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine,” in the Guardian. “And there’s no case in which the international obligation to stop it has been so clear.”

The United States, formerly UNRWA’s largest contributor, provided $422 million to the agency in 2023. The severance of funds ensures that UNRWA food deliveries, already in very short supply because of blockages by Israel, will largely come to a halt by the end of February or the beginning of March.

Israel has given the Palestinians in Gaza two choices. Leave or die. "

Tagging @adventuresofmeghatron, @theartofblossoming; @dovesofcedar, @civilization-illstayrighthere, and anyone else who would like to play along, should y’all care to share. (But no pressure!)

❤️ Last song you listened to?

Cocaine Blues - Johnny Cash (Traveling music! I went south for the weekend.)

🧡 Ideal pizza toppings?

OKAY FAM once upon a time I used to make pizza at a delicatessen and I can still toss these babies like a pro

SO

- No Hawaiian (SUE ME) (but honestly I eat everything at this point my dislike of Hawaiian has become a schtick. It originated because I hated making them because none of my coworkers at that job ever replaced the pineapple they used, rather than because I hated eating them)

- I am an omnivore and literally anything else can go on a pizza

- This includes fish of all kinds

- However I make a real mean white chicken pizza with spinach, artichokes and pesto

- Also I love spicy things, so any hot peppers can go on the pizza. The more the better

- Literally anything. Vegetarian? Sure thing. Every type of meat imaginable? Yup. Mushrooms? The more the better. Detroit-style? Yeah! That squid and mayonnaise stuff I understand they make in Japan? Well, I’ll try anything once.

- just hold the bleu cheese - it’s one of like… two things I cannot eat in quantity, unless you want me to walk around looking like I have heatstroke

💛 Dream vacation:

Y’know, this is a difficult one for me.

Honestly I…would like to travel abroad more? But I don’t have very defined goals. There are so many things I’d love to see. To name but a few, I’d love to go to Australia; to Ireland; to Eastern Europe and Northern Africa, and I’d like to travel the northern half of this continent too. I’ve seen a great deal of the south and the east, and I’d quite like to see the rest.

💚 Earth, air, fire, or water?

Me: I think I might be somewhere between air and -

Literally everyone who knows me for more than like…two months or has ever seen me near an open flame: FIRE obviously fire

(it is fire, it definitely is)

💙 Cartoon you grew up on?

Well, when you grow up in a household where you’re not allowed to watch cartoons…that’s a difficult one to answer! (Don’t worry I made up for lost time later) So, we’ll modify this one to “first animated thing you remember seeing,” to which the answer is 101 Dalmatians for Western animation and My Neighbor Totoro for Eastern animation.

(Fun fact: my first unfettered access to cartoons was a three-week span spent in a basement in the middle of winter in a Fallout Tactics map location! It was right after my paternal grandfather died. I also taught myself woodworking and developed an allergy to original scent Febreeze! I was eleven and it was, uh. An interesting basement.)

💜 Favourite scent?

Sawdust. Lamps coming on and burning off dust. Woodsmoke on a cold night; one spiced scent that I can’t put a name to that filled a friend’s rooms in college. A certain kind of pipe tobacco smoke. Brackish water. Freshly brewed coffee. Cedarwood. Old paper in well-maintained library stacks. Simmering lentil soup with bay leaves. The smell of pit beef when it’s just about ready.

#1929 -  Vicia sativa - Common Vetch

Photo by @purrdence​, in Taupo, NZ

AKA garden vetch, tare or simply vetch.

A legume probably native to Europe North Africa, and Western Asia, but is now found in temperate and subtropical regions worldwide. Certainly weedy, and a nuisance in grainfields, but often grown as a green manure, livestock fodder or as a rotation crop. More than 500,000 hectares per year is grown in Australia. It’s also been part of the human diet since at least the early Neolithic.

Left to its own devices vetch can grow into tangled mats up to 2m deep. The flowers are usually purple, but sometimes white or yellow. Like the red clover posted earlier, often pollinated by bumblebees.  

During the early 20th century a mutant vetch arose with seeds resembling those of the lentil. This led to serious problems in lentil fields. However, the transition  to mechanised farming practices largely solved the problem

Ways to use ghee in cooking

Today there are many companies that sell Indian ghee in Australia.Ghee is usually lighter on the palate in comparison to butter, and has a defined nuttiness that comes from the caramelization of the milk solids. As ghee is clarified, it is both casein and lactose-free. People who are officially lactose intolerant can easily eat and digest it. After buying Desi ghee in Australia, you can use it in several ways. Ghee works well as an alternative to vegetable or canola oil, one that imparts a distinctive indescribable aroma and flavor. It can be a good idea to follow a 50:50 oil-to-ghee ratio for cooking various dishes. You may use ghee in your morning eggs and pancakes, lentils and pastas, roasted sheet pan veggies, and even to saute shrimp.
