Do you think studying primitive societies is important for modern people?

Answer 1

yes i do

in order to understand what and who we are today, why when and how we got to where we are today we have to look at what and who people were previously and why when and how they got to where they are.

also its very interesting stuff to learn,

we have such preconceptions that people before us were indeed 'primitive' but where do people think we got our inventions from in the first place, they didnt just appear, someone from what we would call a primitive time came up with them

anyone who has any interest in learning, in society, in past, in present, in future, in humans, in life would always benefit from learning about 'primitive' people and primitive' lives

i think there are a lot of things relevant to life and living, to society and individuals alike that are not taught, should be taught and/or should have been taught a long time ago

i hate the idea that if i have a child I will have to teach them all these knowledgeable things, because schools are still very ignorant and uneducated themselves. (not because i dont want to, because school is supposed to be a learning place, a place to be educated on things)

i feel my child going to school will infact be a complete waste as i could teach them more in a day than a school will teach them in a year, and about things of interest not that will bore the life and the will to learn out of them.
