Fishing: How the Sea Fed Civilization

When we think of hunter-gatherers, we should probably include fishers as well, for human communities have long depended on harvests from the sea. Author Brian Fagan details the story of humanity’s last major source of food from the wild, contrasting it sharply with agriculture. While the developing of farming led to towns and cities, fishing required movement and travel. The ambulatory aspects of human culture just might owe more to the fishing than has previously been understood.
