This cave is a scene of the life of a primitive tribe.

In the caves, the women raise their children, while the adult men gather and hunt and provide food for the tribesmen. There are two sources of food, one is to collect ready-made fruits from trees, and the other is to hunt small animals.

It was very difficult at the time. The nearby trees have been collected, and they have to walk a long way, several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers, to a place where no one has collected them before they can get the fruit. Along the way, you have to go through several levels, hunger, damage from large animals, and poisoning while trying wild grass. The danger of hunting is even greater. At that time, people did not have tools and could only hunt small animals, which was also luck, and the proportion of hunts was pitifully small.

It was a large family, where the men brought food back and the chiefs of the clan gave it to the clansmen, and the minor children were raised by the people of the clan.

"There was a reason for this," said Daonan, "that the father of the fetus was not the same person, and that the children at that time had only mothers, not fathers. ”

Looking at their hard life, everyone couldn't help but feel gloomy.

"At that time, humans were weak and helpless, fearful of being devoured by large animals, at the bottom of the food chain, unable to harvest fruit in winter, difficult to hunt, and often starved. People are filled with fear and anxiety all day long. Because of this, it also made human beings at that time more cruel and dangerous. ”

"Cruelty and danger?"

Du didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"When they learned to use fire and tools, this cruelty and danger was revealed, magnified. ”

At this time, they just knew how to use fire. A man is making a fire with flint and steel. After the fire, everyone didn't dare to approach, and they were a little afraid. After a while, he noticed that the thing was warm, and slowly approached the fire. One of them probed his hand into the fire and was burned. Later, they learned to distance themselves from fire, and more and more Homo sapiens began to use fire.

At first, he only used fire for heating and lighting, but later found that food cooked over fire was more fragrant and easier to chew and digest, so he began to cook food over fire.

The winter nights were cold, and they lit campfires to keep warm. At this time, they spotted a wolf in the distance and trembled with fear. After a while, it was discovered that they had only stayed far away and had not come. It turned out that these very ferocious animals were afraid of fire, including some more ferocious lions and tigers, and they did not dare to approach wherever the fire was lit.

Now that large animals can be subdued with fire, people are no longer afraid of being hurt by these animals.

Fire is so convenient that it can be used by anyone, anytime, anywhere, including women and the elderly, as long as there is a piece of flint.

But it's not a good place to stay for long. After a long period of collection, the fruits from dozens of kilometers away have been collected by people, and because of the climate, Homo sapiens began to discuss migration. They were looking for a better place to live.

Strong young men were sent to go from place to place, in batches, and when they found that the soil was fertile and the food was readily available, they settled here.

At that time, they found that many habitable places already had owners, and they were the local natives, who did not belong to Homo sapiens, but relatives of Homo sapiens, and belonged to the same genus as Homo sapiens.

In fact, these local natives are not resistant to the arrival of Homo sapiens, they are honest and simple, do not know danger, and have no greed. Originally, they could have shared the resources with Homo sapiens who had come from afar. But Homo sapiens don't do it.

Homo sapiens have become cruel in their long-term fear and hunger, and they cannot tolerate having someone share this fertile soil with them. So, there was a rush to kill everything, and he became the master of this land.

Whenever they arrive at a new location, the local natives quickly become extinct. According to historical records, such as the Thoreaus, Neanderthals, and the dwarves of Flores. These poor human relatives were only a flash in the pan on this earth, and to this day, only a few bones and stone tools have been left for Homo sapiens, and the mystery of the human relatives that hangs in the air.

"No wonder Homo sapiens is murderous and dangerous. ”

Du was so frightened that he shuddered on his body.

"How did they conquer the natives?"

There is no guess that the indigenous people are unjust. On other people's territory, in a new ecologically different environment, the fat drove the owner to extermination, and he was the master, and he won every time.

At this time, Homo sapiens already had a unique language. This is thanks to the language.

Their language is flexible, and Daonan says that their language is a variety of combinations, and different combinations have different meanings.

At this time, there is such a scene: at night, Homo sapiens gathers together with a bonfire.

Homo sapiens seem to be discussing a thing, and everyone is muttering indistinctly and incomprehensibly. While gesturing with their hands, the movements are really strange, a bit like mute but not mute, and with the rich expressions on their faces, sometimes excited, sometimes frightened, sometimes excited, applauding when excited, covering their faces with their hands when they are frightened, jumping and jumping when they are excited, they express a thing and an abstract thing in this way. Fortunately, they themselves can understand it.

At this time, Homo sapiens had advanced to the point where they could obtain information about other nearby tribes. In this way, they share the information they have obtained with their clansmen, allowing the leaders to analyze and extract useful parts, lay out plans, and set strategic goals.

"This is the earliest information of mankind, which is now gossip. “

A lot of their gossip is information about other tribes, miscellaneous, everything. A certain tribe gave birth to a few children, a certain tribe found a new edible fruit tree, a certain tribe caught a large animal, enough for the tribe to eat for a few days, a certain tribe took a few people from outside, and so on.

With this information, they can plan to annex other tribes and expand their tribes against foreign enemies. In the long-term struggle against the harsh natural environment, they understand a truth, that is, the more people, the larger the tribe, the stronger the strength, and the more capable of surviving against the harsh environment and strong enemies.

But how can so many strangers be united into a community?

"The genius of Homo sapiens is that it can express information that never existed, and only Homo sapiens can make up things and believe in the impossible. Like God. “

Fiction can be imagined, and many people can imagine it together, weaving into all kinds of common stories, so that Homo sapiens has the tremendous ability to incite a large number of people who don't know each other to work together, and to cooperate with countless other strangers. As the number of people increases, this gives Homo sapiens to become an invincible force in this world. ”

"For example?"

degree quite interested.

"For example, religious people, what binds them together is their common faith. Everything that can be combined in the world is a fictional story. ”

"Sculptures in town. ”

Wuchai added.

"Yes. ”

This truth is not unclear, but it will be understood when you say it. No wonder there are so many religions in the world that continue to this day, and even people today still believe in gods and the like, and have their own beliefs.

The two children watched with great interest the human interpretation process while listening to the explanation of the erudite Master Daonan. This kind of teaching method is unforgettable for a lifetime.

Kai, on the other hand, quietly continued his screen-recording mission.
