ECHOES OF THE ANCIENT ONES
Breathed into this world by our
Creator, modern man entered at a unique time in geological history with his
very existence revolving around a style of living—hunting and gathering—that,
to improve survival, he studied the ways and habits of wildlife through
countless eons and developed a deep understanding of the environment in which
he operated by learning the most effective ways to kill big game, gather
plants, seeds, roots, etc., and harvest waterfowl.
Those that did not, or could
not, acclimate suffered the disastrous consequences of extinction, because the climate
and environment demanded an adaptable lifestyle that assigned shifting emphasis
on the most accessible resources.
The traditional view is that
free-roaming big game hunters following the herds during their annual
migrations subsisted on this food source almost entirely, that is until the
herds began declining and subsequently became extinct.
To the contrary, it was waterfowl
that allowed anatomically modern man to persist and endure harsh climates and environments,
because over millennial or longer time scales migratory waterfowl were highly
adaptive regarding their breeding, migratory, and wintering distribution and habitat.
Waterfowl supplied not only meat and eggs but feathers and skins, and wherever
they gathered, other sources of food were readily available for consumption.
