Hello folks
I'm attempting "mission impossible" (?) of trying to unravell the mysteries concerning how mankind came to be as we are today. I liken this universal quest of mankind's to attempting to complete a rediculously complex & infuriating, gigantic jigsaw puzzle. There are clues all over the place. You just have to realize the fact that there IS a perfect, complete solution to it, and just keep on trying
Anyway, to start this topic, I'd like to share with you all a recent question I came up with (which, if "investigated" & debated thoroughly, JUST MAY put 1 or 2 more pieces of the puzzle into place)
Here's the question: At what point did life become "impossible" for humans?
By "impossible", I mean infuriatingly complicated, emotionally painful, anxiety-ridden, crime-ridden, extremely difficult/trying, etc. Harking back to stone-age man (who were not much different than apes?), what sort of quality of life did they have?. Were they contented?. Satisfied?. And was that because of their simple lifestyles/cultures?. And could modern-day humans have that same quality/simplicity of life if they lived in those times?
I'm new to this area of interest, so CORRECT/TEACH me by all means!. I EXPECT it and I DEMAND it!. But just try to keep your posts simple & to the point, as I will be analyzing each and every one of them, "dissecting" & reorganizing, and I don't want to waste time unecessarily. I mean "business" here, and so if you're looking for "fun", I ask that you go elsewhere. But hey, work CAN be fun!
