i have never lived in a cave.
when i visit caves, I don’t feel some uncontrolled, strong pull towards it like it was my home. Caves creep me out. When I see guys with rippling muscles and broad shoulders, I don’t think of his ability to protect the cave and hunt big game. I don’t care about guys being able to wrestle mammoths.
Basically, I don’t have any caveman-ish instincts. but according to popular science, we are all cavemen and of course cavewomen at heart.
Funny how that brief period in human existence is said to dictate human nature. wouldn’t human nature have evolved along with everything else? no, there seems to be some things that just can’t be changed.
Basically, you have no control over your primal instincts because that’s obviously what humans live by…the lives they never had as cavemen.
I think it’s silly to blame everything on cavemen survival tactics, since most people now have never experienced that. Somehow, though, it’s hardwired with genetics. How come life in grand junction doesn’t get passed on? it’s just the caves. I couldn’t care less about life in a cave. The reason humans live is to be able to get OUT of the cave and life better lives than their ancestors or anybody else…
I don’t really believe in the subconscious, and I especially don’t know how cavemen could’ve had such an effect on that. Who knows what cavemen were really like, anyway? I think humans just like to blame their actions on cavemen-ish things.
If the point of survival is to reproduce, I think we’ve grown out of that. why bother getting an education and having laws and government if only to reproduce? We want something more for ourselves than that, so we should forget about “human nature” and start facing the consequences of our own desires and actions. We’re totally capable of controlling our thoughts. We’re not cavemen anymore. Humans are not essentially good or bad. We choose to be what we are, and cavemen were certainly not responsible for that.
