BTW, an extremely minor point: I intentionally used present-tense because primitive cultures still exist.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoWell, any culture existing today is by definition a modern culture. But, more substantively: There are no cultures today which are comparable to primitive cultures of the past. One nice point I've seen made is that when hunter-gatherers were the rule, they could live on arable land. After the advent of agriculture, obviously, that became impossible.
