Walk, run & man...............II

Among many arts of food production, agriculture is the latest skill man has developed. It was around 3000 - 5000years old. Before this man was 'Herdsman'. He domesticated few animals and used some as food, like cattle & sheeps, & some to keep the herds in a piece, like horses/dogs(border colie is said to be the best dog to keep herds in a herd!!). Even all the characters of Mahabharatha are herdsman and fought for cattles!!. To keep herds needs lot of walking, running ( riding horses in some parts of the world). Shepards in karnataka use handmade footwear whose sole is made of 'Tyre', not regular leather/rubber/plastic!!!. As you all know state of art running shoes are made to last 1000-1500km, whereas tyres are built to last 25000-50000km!!!!.........................In this series of topic, I have used word 'man' as gender neutral word, but I have a doubt whether this topic suits man as it means?!....................contd
