    But land is literally the first form of property. Territory is defended in life’s history long before any moveable object.

    If anything, the conception of certain objects as being part of a person’s territory is the stranger step to take.

      I kinda get the feeling that food was the first form of property. Land (by way of good shelter) was probably a close second with good rocks and sticks.
