Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
Welcome one and all, to another brilliant AskHistorians Sunday Digest! Check out the wealth of the subreddit drawn up before you, with answers spanning the history of the globe and across the eras! Don’t forget to show some appreciation to all the hard workers, shower them in the thanks they deserve, throw some upvotes their way, and check out the usual weekly features.
Tuesday Trivia: Casualties! This thread has relaxed standards—we invite everyone to participate!
Along with a fairly quiet Thursday Reading & Rec thread!
There’s a bunch of fascinating discussion and banter in the Friday Free For All
And that leaves me finished for yet another day. I hope you enjoyed the compilation, keep it classy out there even on the dark depths of the net, and I’ll see you again next Sunday!
Don’t forget to show some love for those fascinating, yet overlooked questions that spawn on the sub each week. Feel free to post your own, or those that caught your eye this week, and maybe we’ll get lucky with a wandering historian!
/u/uafalkuad asked Did Meso-american and Andean cultures make use of residential multi-story buildings?
/u/blendersingh asked Indeginous medicine systems of nations & the history behind them ?
/u/TanktopSamurai asked How did the Soviet Economies measure their economies and predict their evolution and such? Was there any importation of ideas from the Capitalist world?
