Could you use something like years instead of generations? It's not clear what time periods you're referring to.

- jonathanyc 9y agoProbably referring to forager societies pre agriculture.
- rascul 9y agoI suspect that as well, but I see estimates for generations ranging from 20 years to over 100. While it's quite far back in time either way, there's up to 10s of thousands of years difference.
- imbokodo 9y agoThese events are determined by things like the reproduction of labor, not Earth's solar orbits, which is why a generational timeline is more apropos. Also we have data from a variety of sources, but do not know the exact day when the first person was enslaved in the Fertile Crescent. That aside, I mean right before 10000 years ago, before concepts like slavery, class, surplus etc. began their rise. All human society then were in traveling hunter-gatherer bands.
