Question

They systematic raiding of the Athapascans shows that organized warfare is most clearly identified with:

a. there is no record of either society initiating organized warfare

c. neither hunting nor farming societies

d. farming societies rather than hunting societies

e. hunting societies rather than farming societies


I am struggling between choice b and e. I know that the Athapascans were part of a hunting society. but i also think that it is more common in farming societies.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I can help much with this one. I tend to "e". Raiding other, unrelated, people for livestock and other valuables is/was common everywhere, not just in Alaska. It may, however, have been more common among nomadic tribes than more settled, agriculture-based economies. I'm no more certain than you as to what the "correct" answer will be when you turn it in. Sorry.

Answer 2

Anthropologists have studied anarchy and anarchy in groups for sometime now, I am uncertain any of them would draw a broad conclusion as to which any of the "answers" would university fit as a "clear" conclusion.

Answer 3

I think bobpursley is correct.
