for - anthropology - evidence that our ancestors were egalitarian and collective was prioritized

for - duality / nonduality - ancestors / modernity - irony - It's ironic that many of our ancestors felt the interconnectedness more strongly than we do today in modernity - The layer of manufacturing a separate human world has created a new social norm of separation that did not exist for our ancestors

The focus of family constellations seems to be placing people with respect to not only their surroundings, but their family, ancestors, and those who create the web of the world around them.

  • The "Old Man of La Chapelle", is the name given to the remains of a Neanderthal who lived 56,000 years ago,
    • found buried in the limestone bedrock of a small cave near La Chapelle-aux-Saints, in France in 1908.
  • He was found to have had arthritis, bone regrowth along the gums where he lost several teeth.

• comment
• new insight
  • life expectancy at birth skews our understanding of how the health and longevity of adults. -There is a false claim and belief that due to modern technologies, modern humans have lived far longer than our ancestors in the distant past.
  • In fact, child mortality rates play a major role in calculating life expectancy and this is what differs modernity from our ancestors.
  • Our distant ancestors did live to their 70s and 80s

• paraphrase
  • It is not uncommon to hear talk about how lucky we are to live in this age of scientific and medical advancement
    • where antibiotics and vaccinations keep us living longer, while our poor ancient ancestors were lucky to live past the age of 35.
  • This is not quite true:
    • at best, it oversimplifies a complex issue, and
    • at worst it is a blatant misrepresentation of statistics.
• key question
  • What happened?
    • Did ancient humans really just drop dead as they were entering their prime, or
    • Did some live long enough to see a wrinkle on their face?

• definition
  • What is commonly known as ‘average life expectancy’ is technically ‘life expectancy at birth’.
  • In other words, it is the average number of years that a newborn baby can expect to live in a given society at a given time.
  • But life expectancy at birth is an unhelpful statistic if the goal is to compare the health and longevity of adults.
  • That is because a major determinant of life expectancy at birth is the child mortality rate
    • which, in our ancient past, was extremely high, and this skews the life expectancy rate dramatically downward.

• for: life expectancy - ancestors
• key insight
• paraphrase
  • in our early ancestors, the early years from infancy through to about 15 was perilous,
    • due to risks posed by disease, injuries, and accidents.
  • But those who survived this hazardous period of life could well make it into old age.

    • are the ancestors of all living European descendants today
  • if we go even further back, all humans share just a few common ancestors
  • The most recent common ancestor of all present-day humans lived just a few thousand years ago

Without these authors and their knowledge and the prior knowledge chain of all their ancestors, this book would certainly not exist.

This is a good thing. It allows class methods to be inherited by subclasses.
