What do "left" and "right" mean to you?

65. Our neolithic ancestors were more advanced than rightwingers

In that they valued people even if they were disabled or were not able to care for themselves or contribute, economically, and the community attended to their well being.

The remains of the young man, known as Burial 9, suggest he died paralysed from the waist down with a congenital disease known as Klippel-Feil syndrome.

He had little, if any, use of his arms and could not have fed himself or kept himself clean -- and lived with this condition, with help, for about 10 years.

(The male was about 25 years old at death and showed no evidence he had been mistreated or abandoned.)

Ms Tilley told The New York Times this week that previous archeological finds where there was evidence of care included at least one Neanderthal, Shanidar 1, from a site in Iraq, dating to 45,000 years ago, who died around age 50 with one arm amputated, loss of vision in one eye and other injuries.

Another was Windover boy, from about 7500 years ago, found in Florida, who lived to around the age of 15 with the spinal malformation spina bifida.

I like your view, Jasana. We have value as members of our community, no matter what our economic measure may be.
