This view was more of an ethnocentric projection than an accurate description of the lives of foragers. It was based on our tendency to pigeonhole human societies in terms of an outdated evolutionary framework. It was assumed that if the technology is simple then life must be grim. It was a vestige of the Victorian belief that our "civilized" lives are not only more efficient but also more comfortable than those of "primitive" peoples. Ethnographic research carried out over the last half century has largely demolished this myth that foragers in the past had to struggle for existence. In fact, they usually had a food supply that was adequate and reliable. Most of them only had to expend minimal labor to provide for their basic needs. What is particularly surprising to people in industrialized nations is that foragers often lived well into old age with few signs of anxiety and insecurity. + + [http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/ Wild Food!] LEARN ABOUT EDIBLE AND MEDICINAL WILD PLANTS AND MUSHROOMS, NATURE, AND ECOLOGY +

- [http://anthro.palomar.edu/subsistence/sub_2.htm Foraging] Foragers often have long lives compared to people in the industrial societies of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Richard Lee discovered that 10% of the San were over 60 years of age and the elderly, blind, senile, and crippled were supported by their families. In the United States today, 10-15% of the people are over 60 and life expectancy is in the low to mid 70's. However, living to an advanced age in the Western World is a very recent trend primarily resulting from modern medicine. In 1900, the average life expectancy in the United States was only 50. At the time of the American Revolution, it was 35. By comparison, the San lived relatively long, healthy lives.	+ [http://anthro.palomar.edu/subsistence/sub_2.htm Foraging] The most common image of the hunting and gathering way of life until recently was that of an uncertain existence in a harsh environment and a short miserable life.
