The secret of the human being
pp. 89-93
Résumé
This chapter proposes that human surplus labor originated from reproductive labor in an Adam and Eve-like event, in the process creating the human society as a generalized reproductive platform, and making economy the special human ecology. It is further suggested that it was the investment of a surplus from female gathering that made the development of male hunting possible in the first place, thus making hunters and gatherers the first societal formation in human prehistory.
