I have naught but a quifk 'Wiki' perusal so if my rough glance-stemate is a little off?
So, even being generous and halving our hunter-garther past. That still gives us 35 thousand years combined cigilzations against a paltry one and a half of monotheism.
Where did you get 35k years? Where did you get 1.5K for monotheism?
There are instances of monotheism in 14th century BC, but modern monotheism has really only taken root for the past 1500 years or so.
Do a google search on the history of monotheism and while you're at it, look up how the bible was put together.
Here's a hint - "Your imaginary god never told people to put together a bible."
Hunting and gathering was presumably the subsistence strategy employed by human societies beginning some 1.8 million years ago, by Homo erectus, and from its appearance some 0.2 million years ago by Homo sapiens.
Starting at the transition between the Middle to Upper Paleolithic period, some 80,000 to 70,000 years ago, some hunter-gatherers bands began to specialize, concentrating on hunting a smaller selection of (often larger) game and gathering a smaller selection of food. This specialization of work also involved creating specialized tools such as fishing nets, hooks, and bone harpoons
So for some 80,000 years, human beings were making fishing nets, hooks and bone harpoons.
Pretty cool huh.
