I think it is so surprising how early
human beings adapted and evolved in the World. The way they made new technology
is so shocking. How they used stones and rocks to make blades and axes. If I
were to look at a stone or rock on the floor I would never think, “Hmm… maybe
this rock can be turned into a weapon?” I mean to me, it is just a rock. But
the fact that arrows and bows, spears, axes and other hunting equipment can
date back to thousands of years ago when they were first made is surprising.
When the book talked about the first human
societies and I was intrigued how the small societies would treat one another.
There was no oppression and no absolute power. Everyone has the same set of
skills and was treated equally. Domestic abuse was never exhibited or acted
upon. Our ancestors began with little violence and no cruelty. It got me
thinking how did these terrible things get introduced into our World.
After reading these sections I realized
how many things were influenced or invented from our past ancestors. The past
is really part of our present and it also helps for our future as well.
