Taiga of Genesis - Ch. 114 - The True Enemy.

[Thank]

Yes, the one giving orders is certainly the problem, but I wonder if the mentality he has instantiated in his group regarding racial supremacy will disappear so easily; not to mention the animosity of having lost friends and relatives to Taiga's group. Interesting to see how this will go.

Calling it now, they will surround the King in a bunker like structure where he will kill himself alongside a Neanderthal Eva Braun equivalent.

And honestly, I’m kinda down for Inglorious Bastards like end set in prehistoric times.

 

[rudezki]

Yep, kill the unga bunga hitler, then everything will be solved.

Taiga: "I have no enemy... still left standing."

Isn't this... Literally history? Neanderthal are literally mixed-breed to extinction by the homo

This talk-no-jutsu doesn't befit a seinen manga. And yet, it fits this manga's writing quality.

I can think of a few reasons of varying quality not to introduce agriculture in no particular order.

1. Agriculture, or rather, agriculture large enough to sustain cities, usually comes with a large degree of necessary social stratification. I have heard of a few societies in human history that managed to have cities without institutionalized social inequality but these examples are few and far between. I don't believe that the agricultural revolution is ultimately responsible for all of humanity's sins, but it is responsible for creating societies with large populations. And in societies with large populations it becomes easier for the ruling elite to see their followers less as the people they are charged with leading and protecting, and more as pawns that can be used for their own ends. I admit this might be a bit of a stretch, but there are other good reasons not to introduce agriculture.

2. As mentioned before, agriculture does indeed tend to produce large populations in comparison with other societies. But this takes a while, likely more than one lifetime before there is a significant difference in population compared to previous years. Even if Taiga does want to introduce agriculture, the benefits of having a large population won't exist till Taiga is old and gray, and I doubt Taiga thinks the war will last that long.

3. Although the benefits of switching to agriculture are delayed, the costs aren't. Teaching his people agriculture would require more people to stop doing whatever they are good and practiced at. Which wouldn't be terrible if not for the fact that Taiga's people are in a war for their survival right now. Although you can make a strong case for war inspiring other innovations, I don't think agriculture would be high on the priority list for the reasons mentioned above.

I was also thinking how early humans basically had to breed the poison out of much of the crops we eat today, not to mention it is a generational prospect, especially at that time, but like my idea is some small scale even less than subsistent agriculture for on the side guaranteed food source or when (its def going to happen) a siege comes down on the castle
