The Other Side of Eden: Hunters, Farmers, and the Shaping of the World by Hugh Brody is a compelling exploration of the dichotomy between hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies, and how these two ways of life have shaped human history. Drawing from his personal experiences living with Inuit and Dene peoples in the Arctic, Brody contrasts the long-held stereotypes of hunters as nomads and farmers as settled people. In fact, he argues that it is farmers who tend to be more migratory, often moving to new lands, while hunters maintain deep, lasting connections to their territories.
