[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8065191, member: 6901101"] I am going to disagree. Please look it up. The farmer had [I]more[/I] food and a more stable diet than the hunter/gatherer. Look at the cultures of hunter/gatherers. Half of their songs and tales are just about getting food. The Athabascan people (hunter/gatherer) of Alaska lost large numbers of people each year to starvation. And this was in a land full of animals. But the Inuit, who had a different style of farming than our modern day version, but had planted crops and stayed in two locales (one for summer and one for winter), rarely starved. They too lived in Alaska. I think farmer was explained well in a post above. It's not that farmer is a culture, but agrarian society is a culture. It encompasses many jobs.
