If you can find a copy, “Blood and Soil – Walther Darre & Hitler’s Green Party.” By Anna Bramwell. 1985, The Kensal Press, ISBN 0-946041-33-4. This is non-jewish view of the foundation of National Socialism. As far as I could tell there was no evidence of Jewish Influence in Ms. Bramwell’s work. Perhaps that is why it is a difficult book to find. I last saw a copy of this book list for over $200. Truth never comes cheaply.

There is a book called “Ishmael” by Daniel Quinn which puts forth the same thesis that the agricultural revolution was bad for us.

This is an intriquing book. The protagonist is a talking gorilla who says that organized religion, government and a host of evils all stem from the agricultural revolultion.

He also says that the do-gooders’ efforts to alleviate world hunger are a waste of time–once you feed them, they reproduce and you have to feed more of them.

The article by Abbott actually gave me some new insights into the controversial book by Quinn, who has a cult following, and writes in a different style from Abbott. But I might disagree with Abbott about people being freed by the ag-rev to do art. The art of the hunter-gatherer societies was indeed art, and was probably more meaningful to them than much of the “civilized” art that we have today.

Interesting.

It has been noted that Paleolithic art (e.g., Lascaux) was more alive and expressive than Neolithic art, having preceded the estrangement from nature resulting from the agricultural revolution.

Some anthropologists contend that agriculture began with the raising of animals for religious ceremonies, to function as bearers of sacred implements or as sacrifices.

Whatever organizational innovations the ag-rev might have brought, it definitely “dialed down” the overall vitality of the human experience.
