Its very interesting to me that archaeologists are finding tons of evidence that in prehistoric times disabled people were accomodated and cared for because when I was a child my dad told me the opposite.

The example he used, as I remember it, was this: "Imagine we lived in prehistoric times as hunter gatherers. Let's say you broke your leg. Taking care of you would be a liability for all of us, so we'd have to leave you behind to die :)"

At the time I was bewildered and hurt, but I accepted his answer. Now I just think my dad is a terrible person.

Quest for Fire (1981). This story takes place in prehistoric time when three tribesmen search for a new fire source.

I don't know if I can say I enjoyed this film, but I respected it. The creative vision is really clear, and while it's often deliberately, primitively violent, it's also got real moments of breathtaking wonder in it, particularly around the titular fire. I kinda feel like it's the sort of thing that would be best watched on a big screen with an into-it cinema audience? It's pretty experiential, in that sense. 7/10.

Religion will have you believe these other species didn't exist and that all humans were born from two genetic clones less than 4000 years ago

HOLD UP, EVERYBODY, I FOUND THE BEST DINOSAUR NAME EVER!

Human Beings were sitting around a camp fire before sitting around a camp fire was cool.

Ya know,.... Humans Evolved Loving Relaxing By The Fire.

Science now tells us watching a fire lowers blood pressure, and our enjoyment of gazing at fire may be rooted in evolution, as the act of gathering around a fire dates back to prehistoric times.

Ya see, when we're sitting fireside, all of our senses become absorbed in the experience, and that has a calming effect on us humans and reduces anxiety.

In prehistoric times, the "multisensory -- visual, auditory, olfactory, heat, smoke/food taste -- stimulation of fires made a great focus of attention, particularly in the dark, since there were no city lights back then, and it was pitch black with only the stars for light.

We evolved to enjoy being around fires because they were historically important means of fostering social cohesion. During the stone age, humans socialized around camp fires, a place where they felt safe and warm.

We have Archaeological evidence suggesting our human ancestors probably started using fire thousands of years before they figured out how to start one, and therefore, especially in the colder climates, sitting around a fire to keep it going would have been a very important job. Collecting kindling, keeping the fire going, cooking -- all these things required cooperation with everyone in your tribe, at least when conditions were poor. So those tribes more successful at keeping the fire going would have had an advantage over tribes that didn’t.

Today we have apps on our smart phones that simulate a burning fire to suggest it has the same calming effect, except without the heat the fire gives off,.... and they fail miserably for everyone except the Trump supporters that seem to think they are sitting in front of a real mini-fire on their cell phone screen because Trump told them it was real.........

I sit by a REAL FIRE several times a month out here in the woods, and the effect I think is taking me further, and further away from my main stream species of primates (human beings), which in my opinion is a good thing,........as the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Song suggests, 'We got to get ourselves back to the garden" in order to reclaim our humanity.

Just a thought......
