Hunters and foragers went out. Working from home seems like a blip compared to that.
- hzay 5y agoHunters & foragers went with their family. Both activities were group activities done with family & tribe.
- cableshaft 5y agoHunters and foragers didn't sit at a desk or in a car all day when they went out either. They also got to head back whenever they hunted/gathered enough food, instead of stick around until they put their 8 hours in. "A study back in the 1960s found the Bushmen have figured out a way to work only about 15 hours each week acquiring food and then another 15 to 20 hours on domestic chores. The rest of the time they could relax and focus on family, friends and hobbies." https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/10/01/551018759/are-hunter-gatherers-the-happiest-humans-to-inhabit-earth https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2017/10/01/5510187...
