That's what I had in mind. Humans aren't instinctively afraid of fire, we are fascinated by it. Our instinct seems to be to play with it.
We don't know that humans aren't instinctively afraid of fire because we are brought up close to it. The fact that the old religions had gods of fire- remember Prometheus? He brought man fire and got horribly treated for it-suggests we weren't always like that and it's something we learned. It'll be interesting to see how children brought up without direct contact with fire respond.
fire? ploughs? you're all fools. Spam was mankind's greatest accomplishment. Think about it, it's meat ...in a can!
I take your point. It would indeed be interesting to see how such children would react. On the other hand consider how we continue to use candle when we don't really need them for light. How we build houses with central heat and a fireplace in the living room because we like to watch the flames. I'm not saying that it is instinctive, just that it is reasonable to suspect that it might be. Regards.
invention of fire, the wheel, or the weapon could be appropriate. also the K/T thing or the thing when the first homo sapiens decided "i think i'll go find a mate"
Agreed, everyone should give each other what they need free of charge, and the receiver has to give something back in return. Everything split up evenly so there is no poor or rich but everyone is the same.
Religion , The most important invention in history , through it , more than 80% of the population are purely controlled , motorized and their pathes and lives are set . Definitely the invention of the history .
The realization that lions and hyenas back off when jabbed in the face with a strong sharpened stick.
That medicine could be found that saved peoples lives that were made from the environment they lived in. Without the advancement of medicine all humans would be dead by now.
