Abstract
In the first of three chapters about the origins of human settlements in deep history, Bowen and Gleeson use their general systems theory (GST) model of decision-making to synthesize information about how prehistoric people lived for at least 290,000 years before the first permanent settlements were created just 10,000 years ago. The GST approach allows readers to appreciate how prehistoric people adapted their hunter-gatherer cultures throughout the world, and how they thrived by evolving early agricultural behaviors to cultivate wild plants and animals in order to sustain their nomadic way of life. Today’s humans are much like their prehistoric ancestors.
