Reading Blog Post #2 Nisa
Based off of what I've read about the Paleolithic people, I think Nisa's account is accurate and aligned with what history states. Nisa seemed to have a simple life and gained great pleasure over simple things like her husband bringing home dinner. While we still gain intense pleasure from satiating our hunger, due to intensification we require more abstract flavors and methods of cooking to achieve the same happiness that Nisa would get (in my opinion). I found it ironic that she felt that her 4th husbamd Besa was odd because he wanted to make love every night. I feel that a lot of people are like that nowadays if they are truly in love with their partner (at least in the early stages). I enjoyed reading that Nisa rated her children, mother, and father equal in terms of love. The death of any of these family members can cause an equal amount of trauma, which makes Nisa's opnion seem credible. To be honest, I felt that she wasn't descriptive enough about how her life was. The Marriage and Loss section combined was about 3 times as long as the Life in the Bush section.
