leave it.

Have you read Ishmael? If not, I suggest you do. Not only is it a really great book, but it would also clarify why a world history blog would be called, "Leave It." Basically, there are takers and leavers on today's world. as in the saying "take it or leave it." Takers are the westernized culture that took place in the agricultural and industrial revolution. The Leavers are the more hunter-gatherer type societies. the one's who live off the land and don't worry about tomorrow. And these are the people that I'm going to be focusing on.

My incredibly awesome subject of research.

Dear world,
    So, I've been hopping around the internet in search of a culture worthy of my blogging.  I have found only a billion different leaver cultures.  And really weird ones too, I'm talking people that shrink the heads of their defeated foes, and shoot a woman's armpit as part of a wedding ritual.  That stuff is interesting, but in a really creepy disturbing way, like "That's so cooool! ....and yet i wish i didn't know about it..."  So yeah, just for the sake of my own sanity, I'm going to leave those cultures alone for now.  So I decided that I was going to do my blog on the most primitive culture known to the world today.  The Yanomamo, or (Yanamame, Yanomami).  They  haven't even discovered the wheel yet!  I think they fit my blog perfectly!  These peoples are the biggest leaver culture in the world.  
love,
        leave it.
