Reynolds 1972; nearly two million years ago a camp was built in eastern Africa that was later discovered by archeologist Mary Leakey. She found that this camp, known as the Stone Circle, conformed to a plan that was practically identical in size and shape to camps built by freely living groups just a few generations ago. The Circle, Leakey wrote, “resembles temporary structures often made by present-day nomadic peoples” (Leakey 1971, p. 24).

These concerns are reflected today in the authorship of books on privacy. Do a literature search and you will find, as I have, that many of the books written by men warn of creeping surveillance by the government, or of threats to privacy in the context of business, banking, or computing. Women’s books, on the other hand, stress the importance of privacy in the context of relations and family life.

Hunter 1994; Sarti 2002; Dawes1973; Dutch art reveals this integration of employers and staff. It is difficult to distinguish servants and family members, wrote Simon Schama, since the former were “axiomatically included” in domestic scenes (Schama 1991). In the seventeenth century, according to Wayne Franits, Dutch maids frequently ate at the same table as the family, even when they had dinner guests (Franits 1993).
