Why did other civilizations not follow Egypt's example about how to treat their women? Back in the origins of the first civilization in Egypt there was no need for a women's movement. I really enjoyed reading, that at least in one civilization, women were treated as equal as men. Due to this practice I believe that Egypt was probably the most civilized city at that time. Unfortunately now women in Egypt have adopted some of the Mesopotamia customs and their women now wear veils and are segregated from men at school and work. What happened? How come Egyptians stopped believing that men and women had the same rights, and took away from women the right to do things men can do?

There are about 5000 types of potatoes around the world, and in Peru, where I am from, exist about 3000 types. The potato was introduced to humanity during the Neolithic Era / The Revolution of Agriculture,  3000 - 2000 B.C.E  years ago. The potato was a very important source of food for the people who lived in the Andes region. These people learned different techniques to grow and store it.  Nowadays the potato is big part of our Peruvian culture. In Peru and in other places around the world there are Potato International Centers (CIP) where they keep making scientific investigations to learn more of the benefits of its consumption. On May 30th of every year we celebrate  the "Day of the potato" in Peru, where through expositions, fairs and other events, people can try the different varieties of potatoes, which are used in different Peruvian dishes.

The Paleolithic society reminds me of the neighborhood where I grew up. The Paleolithic society consisted of small communities- they had twenty to fifty people (neighbors), same as my neighborhood. They had a strong relationship with each other, same as my neighborhood where everybody knew everybody else: we participated in the same social events, cared for each other, and also if a child misbehaved everyone knew about it (mainly the parents). The only difference between both, the Paleolithic society and my neighborhood, was that we did not move from place to place as a group, but we did it individually. And when the community started to expand it was hard to keep track of everyone and the strong relationships started to weaken.

Here we go.....

First time doing this...let's see what happens
