There have been only three instances in history when these corollaries transitioned
dramatically. During these three instance the corollaries (principles, paradigms, and
protocols) that used to work, either stop working or worked to a much lesser degree.

A vignette in the life of a hunter-gatherer. Many of Bev Doolittle’s paintings illustrate the
relationship between nature, the hunter and the hunted. The picture above, titled “Double

be a bear in the distance, near the top right of the picture. In reality, the bear has back tracked
and is hiding in the bushes at the left of the picture … waiting.
The agricultural age.
The agricultural age was the beginning of all of recorded (written) history. With agriculture came less
starvation, and more leisure time. Leisure time allowed for development of written languages. Written
languages form recorded history.
It has jestingly been suggested that the early agricultural age was when the word “vegetarian” was first used.
In primitive societies, “vegetarian” would be used to describe a very poor hunter. It was these “poor hunters”
who probably led the transition into the agricultural age.
