The
early humans faced problems such as
“growing populations, newly settled ways of life and the fluctuations[of
temperature]…global warming” (pg 30). Sounds familiar, not much has changed. I
would say these problems are still at the top of the priority list of the
problems humans face today.
After
reading the first chapter I have come to the conclusion that we have given
ourselves way to much credit. I am just amazed at the innovation of the early
humans. They bring truth and meaning to the phrase make something out of
nothing.
The
comfortability of our warm bed, fridge full of food and running water has led
us to become less the adventurous then out early humans where. The security of
our live and the ability to find out about anything and see and part of the
world at the click of a computer has fueled our unwilling to push the boundary and
welcome change as our ancestors once did. The ability of the early humans to
adapt in multiple types of environment, and their willingness to forge ahead
into the unknown is amazing. It really brings me to the realization that the comforts
of our live may just have hindered our ability to want to change and search for
something new.
The
part I enjoyed the most was the art work. The first thing that puts me at aww
it the idea that after the amount of time the early human had to spend on daily
task for survival that they would have time or even what to spend their free
time on art work.
