Because arthropods are fucking nasty. And I mean objectively nasty, not just a result of cultural bias, it's probably a leftover in our genetic memory from a period when our early ancestors were hunted by gigantic fucking arthropod predators for literally hundreds of millions of years.

this is a completely modern thing, peasants of the past thought nothing of insects in their food
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardtack

In colder climates you don't get as many large insects as you do in a place like Java where you have nice big crunchy crickets. This is part of it.

The association of insects with disgust probably arose with the discovery of bacteria and the development of what clean and sanitary looks like which involves zero insects of any kind, bacteria carrying flies or harmless plant eating crickets.

Because bugs are gross dude, only poor people eat bugs

I seriously doubt many rich asians would eat bugs over meat

Will be digging into this when it arrives in a week!

Dyalogus Creaturan Moralizatus. It's a medieval book that some monk wrote about a bunch of moral teachings, it's presented as fables with animals n shit. Pretty interesting. Very heavy influence from christianity's teachings, the author often qoutes the bible and works about roman emperors, and alexander the great. Easy read, would recommend.

I think the theory that they were an island dwarf form of Homo erectus seems most likely.

They survived till ~17,000 years ago, and humans were in Australia long before this, so i'd assume there was contact between them and modern humans.

I find it interesting that even though their brain size is more comparable to Australopithecus they have a more advanced style of tools.

>>555124
Supposedly brain size has little to do with intelligence. It's more about the structure of the brain.

The best way to answer your first question wouls be to observe the skull of a modern midget, but I have yet to come across an image with such a skull.

St. Andrew's Cross to show their Anglophilia just like the US' flag was an adaptation of the BIC's flag to show their Jewery.

I'm a Slovene. I can't really say I know the origins since we don't have any written records from a certain point; there are several theories, though.
What I do know is that my ancestors settled here sometime between the sixth and seventh century.

I'll start. The muh heritage group I seem most interested in at the moment are the Malagasy.

They are believed to be the descendants of basically slaves/subordinates from Borneo most likely the Dayak a forest people with Papuan-like roots aboard Malay trading ships shortly after the Indic cultural infusion of SEA.

The Malay are believed to have had longstanding trade and contact with Africans along the Indian Ocean Littoral forming the linguistic and genetic basis of the Malagasy before they even migrated to Madagascar. These first extensive contacts are believed to have diffused the Banana into Africa.

On settling the island proto-malagasy encountered Vazimba a small, dark skinned population speaking a non-austronesian language, hunters and horticulturalists who later incorporated class stratification and royal rule into Malagasy culture.

Swahili "Arabs" and African herders introduced cattle as a prestige animal among other crops and eventually absorbed the Malagasy of the western coast giving rise to the Sakalava who for quite some time dominated oceanic trade, surrounding island colonization and island politics before the slave trade with the Dutch, Spanish, French and English left them decimated.

The Merina are a wet-rice farming population of the central plateau that incorporated the hierarchical traditions of Vazimba forming familiar royal houses we know today.

He's a philosopher of language, what the fuck did you expect?

The reason why he's considered one of the greatest philosophers of the century

I'm not sure, but I fully agree.

It's called being a N.E.E.T.

But jokes aside you will never convince me that art is more valuable then a working sanitation system or modern medical knowledge.
I still respect your belief though. It's nice.

Immanual Wallerstein? World Systems Theory makes some sense but is a little bogus in its obvious opionnatedness. Still a decent systems-level explanation for phenomena like sweatshop labor.

No, Albrecht von Wallenstein. The Imperial general who fought on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire during the Thirty Years War.

There's no such thing as wrong and right in history.

Decentralize patchwork of lands that shouldn't have been a nation.

A minority landed aristocracy that placed their own self-interests over the nation and majority colored masses.

White flight aka many of the wealthy families fled back to Spain, thus ruining the economy.

The war of independence was destructive and unlike the American Revolution, destroyed much of the infrastructure, again further retarding Mexico's economy.

Shit tier leaders

Being in Latin America. Brazilian people are incredibly creative and know how to solve their problems, they are a great country (probably the best in Latin america), but they can't be better because of their surroundings.

at least Brazil didn´t balkanize like spanish south america and is actually a regional power

>>553524
AoE and Horrible Histories books, later Rome TW and those atlas of history type books with maps of the world (prehistoric-through to present) and the states which existed at the time.

It was something that happened but it was hardly normal as it was looked down upon, it was only done when necessary. It should also be remembered that most Japanese people were peasants so this sort of thing was a tiny minority within a minority.

>>553551
Yeah I understand that it was only people who could afford arms (i.e. nobles) and they probably didn't usually have to fight. I just wanted to know if they were still usually trained anyway (possibly in marksmanship with bows as well) just in case.
Any other sources on this topic too?

>settle on Ed Muskie
>Muskie wins the Iowa primary by a thin margin over outsider George Mcgovern
>Muskie doing well leading up to New Hampshire primary
>all of a sudden a NH newspaper gets a hold of a letter that alleged that Muskie made disparaging remarks about French-Canadians
>same NH newspaper goes on the offensive, claiming Muskie's wife drinks and uses "off-color language" while on the campaign trail
>Muskie tries to defend his wife's honor on the steps of the newspaper's headquarters in the snowstorm
>Instead of coming off as a brave and loving husband, reporters from across the country mistake the melting snow on his face for tears, and the narrative becomes he is a weak man incapable of leading the country
>Muskie's campaign loses all momentum, Mcgovern and George Wallace from Alabama now leading candidates
>years later the FBI would reveal that the letter in question that the NH newspaper revealed was a forgery, committed by people working for the incumbent Nixon

>George Wallace was an avowed segregationist. In addition to dominating the southern primaries early on he sometimes found himself leading and winning some northern states
>During an appearance while campaigning in Maryland Wallace was shot by some fucking loser who just wanted to be famous, effectively ending his campaign
>Wallace would be paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life. When asked to look back upon the incident 20 years later, Wallace said "I've had 20 years of pain."

>A few years ago George McGovern led the charge to take the power of nominating a candidate out of the hands of the democratic establishment and give more authority to the caucuses and primaries themselves
>McGovern was extraordinarily progressive and anti-war in addition to being in favor of a number of long held progressive ideas
>The democratic establishment, fearing that such an outsider and a radical would be unelectable, repeatedly tried to hamper his campaign, throwing their support behind Hubert Humphrey a career politician from a modest background
>During the campaign one democratic senator was quoted as saying " "The people don't know McGovern is for amnesty, abortion, and legalization of pot. Once middle America – Catholic middle America, in particular – finds this out, he's dead." The label stuck and McGovern became known as the candidate of "amnesty, abortion, and acid." It became Humphrey's battle cry to stop McGovern — especially in the Nebraska primary.
>Despite recieving little support from the establishment McGovern's grass roots campaigns won him the vital states of New York, Texas, and especially California, and got him the nomination
>After winning the nomination, now he had to wait for the establishment to pick a running mate for him. They settled on Thomas Eagleton
