in my thinking. It is amazing how well humans can get along when survival is at stake. It seem we're mostly at one another's throats only after we gain wealth or power.
In order to understand how we got to his point and why we behave the way we do, we would need a time machine to go back and actually experience how life was - say, 100,000 years ago, and then another at say 10,000 years ago, and so on. Our primitive instincts are still very strong, and sometimes work against us in the modern era as greed, avarice and excess fear step in and distort the original purpose of those instincts.
However, archaeology and anthropology experts are working hard to get us the best snapshots they can and I find their work and progress amazing. We're fortunate here at DU to have members that post good articles in the science section on those topics.
LOL, at 70 years old, I've just learned some things about my personality I wish I had even slightly understood at 17. It's been quite a jigsaw puzzle to build and probably will never be complete.....
