Quoted By:
A geographical ecological biological anthropology professor and ornithologist was giving a lecture on all of world history,known large and complicated subject.
"Before the, um, lecture begins,you must all,um, get on your hind legs and,um, worship geography as the greatest force on history the world has ever known,even greater than culture or,um, genetics!"
At this moment a brave young field anthropologist who had surveyed over 1500 traditional and indigenous people stood up and held up a box of precious cargo.
"how long have people been living in cities,egghead?"
The polite professor shuffled about slightly Bostonically and reasonably replied "People,um,lived as hunter-gatherers all over the world until yesterday"
"Wrong. it's been 12,000 years since civilization started,if it had only started yesterday, as you claim, then my shipments of cargo from the amazon wouldn't have arrived,via Amazon yet"
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his gall bladder and his pulitzer prize. He walked calmly out of the room crying those chimpanzee tears.There is no doubt that at this point our professor wished he had pulled himself up from a hunter gatherer lifestyle instead of merely having the good luck to be born in a western nation. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he had not yet forged one by hand out of steel!
The students all subscribed to National Geographic and went home in pairs that day,and figured out whether sex was fun,a question that had long baffled anthropology majors.
A Zebra called "Mercator projection" walked onto the quad and plowed it in the shape of the American flag.
The professor quit his job voluntarily because he got a book and television deal the next day but sadly died of the western plague of smallpox and his society collapsed for all eternity
