Imagine for a moment what it would be like to live 100,000 years ago. Your senses are on full alert as you walk along the banks of a river, scanning for food: fish swimming in the stream, edible plants, or animals to catch. The sun is nearing its apex, and you’ve already walked 6 miles today-your calloused feet will take you 6 miles more before the day is done.In a few hours, you’ll stop for some water and find shade: the mid-afternoon sun is blazingly hot, and rest will help you Conserve Energy.You have done this for 1000's of generations but now, your life seems to gravitate toward a path never traveled. Your family is at a crossroads. You enjoy your [[caveman lifestyle]] But some of your children want to start their own [[journey into a new civilization]]Suddenly, you notice a movement out of the corner of your eye. Four feet away, a massive cobra has drawn itself up to strike, displaying its distinctive patterned hood and sharp fangs.
There’s no time to think-adrenaline surges, your pulse races, and you quickly jump out of the way and run away as fast as you’re able, leaving the food behind.You run until it’s clear that the threat is gone, and then you spend a few minutes recovering, trembling from the exertion and the stress as the adrenaline wears off. You’re disappointed about losing the food, but it wasn’t worth risking your life.Once you recover, you resume your search for food and shelter from the midday sun,as you scan the horizon for [[your tribe]]. Or would you rather charter [[new paths]]toward the pinnacle of the circle of the earth. ~~You may also do nothing.~~Tonight, you’ll return to your tribe to share what food you’ve found. You know everyone well, since there are only forty or so people in the tight-knit group.You’ve banded together primarily for protection from wild animals and other tribes, who periodically attempt to seize the tribe’s resources via raids. Together, you make spears and nets to catch fish, turn flint into knives and axes for hunting and defense, and create baskets and clay pots to store food.On the fire, an antelope is roasting-a group of hunters in your tribe literally chased it to death, a technique called persistence hunting.In the evening, you’ll sit around the fire the group has built to cook food and keep predators away, and you’ll discuss the day and tell stories until you drift off to sleep.The morning light of [[A new dawn beckons]]. You also want to preserve the [[Heritage of your forefathers]]You will use basic stone and bone tools, as well as crude stone axes, for hunting birds and wild animals. You will cook your prey, including woolly mammoths, deer and bison using fire (thatyou will build everyday). for more nutrition you will fish and collect berries, fruit and nuts. You will have an average of 12 children, just like your father before you, and as your great grand children will do, in order to tame your environment and till your land. You will live for hundred of thousands of years like this. And die peacefully Part of the challenge of working in the modern world will be that your brain and body are tuned for sixteen-hour work days. Not for physical and social survival, as your forefathers before you. Fast forward 100,000 years. Food is everywhere; predators are not. You no longer have to be in constant motion; instead, you probably will spend most of your time occupied by sedentary activities, like sitting behind a desk at a computer.
You can travel almost at the speed of light. Life has numerous opportunities for luxury, pleasure unknown and endless technological advancements that make your life the envy of your ancestors.
As a result, you will face many new threats to your brain and bodies, like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and chronically low energy.This will lead to a long, arduous life with an early Death at the age of 1000 but with the power to control nature through your diligence and will power and a life of [[pleasure and opulence]]As you walk, your eyes settle on a small bush about 20 feet away. Your heart leaps-you recognize the pattern of the leaves, and you know that both the leaves and roots are good to eat.You start to dig at the earth around the base of the plant to expose the roots, intending to place the entire shrub into the simple woven basket you have strapped to your back.
