But this mutual cooperation is actually not easy at all. I first need to understand the cooperative relationship between other animals. For example, take the monkeys who have always been born and raised in this world. For example, a monkey in a monkey group is in a river.

I saw a lion on the edge of the river, and then it would make a special sound to tell its other companions that there was a lion on the river. So the other companions knew that this was a dangerous signal, and of course they also knew that there was a danger from the lion, but the monkey

It can also lie. For example, if it sees a banana that it likes to eat by the river, but does not want to share it with other monkeys, then it will lie and send out false information that there are lions by the river to other monkeys, and then it can enjoy the banana by itself.

.

The other is the specific cooperative relationship, mainly due to food factors. As the number of monkeys increases, each monkey goes out to look for food, which increases the chance of finding food. For example, one of the monkeys finds food and then tells the others.

Monkeys, so far the monkey group can enjoy food. However, food search is a factor in this cooperative relationship, but it is also subject to restrictions. The limitation is the number of monkey groups. The number of monkey groups will never be too large, because

Monkeys use smell and other factors to identify all members of their own group, and this communication is also very frequent. For example, some monkeys will groom another monkey to increase the connection between them.

There should be an attitude towards strange monkeys, as if they are not from my species.

In fact, our human ancestors also encountered this situation. In the process of cooperation, I believe that no human being would give out food that is not enough for himself to a stranger, so mutual trust needs to be established between them.

It takes a lot of time to understand everything about strangers. Of course, strangers also need a lot of time to understand each other. People who are also strangers to him need to know what each other is. This can create a stronger relationship.

contact, and then there is the issue of division of labor.

But the cooperative relationship between our human ancestors is actually no different from the cooperative relationship between animals. It can be said that this is the lowest cooperative relationship between animals. And we humans are different from other animals.

The thing is that our human ancestors can remember each other's looks, and can also simply guess some of the other person's thoughts, so this creates limitations. For example: the brains of our ancestors may only be able to remember fifty people.

Regarding appearance, character and temperament, if there are too many humans, they will not be able to remember. Therefore, this human group cannot exceed the number of fifty. Once it exceeds the number, it will collapse.

But there is one thing that is very, very different between us humans and other animals, and this point is very, very important! First of all, let’s use monkeys for comparison. Monkeys can tell about the scenery they have seen with their own eyes, such as the lion by the river.

Of course, you can also lie. But our human ancestors are completely different. Because of our developed brains, our human ancestors were given a special ability. This ability is: making something out of nothing!

What does it mean to create something out of nothing? It means that our human ancestor saw a stone and thought that the stone might have a spirit? So he was able to express this kind of thing that he had never seen with his own eyes in the form of language and inform the ethnic group.

Other members of the group. Or our ancestors will one day say that he saw a flying goat outside, flew directly into the sky and disappeared. We look at this sentence alone as a lie, but regardless of other members of the group

Whether you believe this lie or not, our ancestors can tell it anyway. This completely separates us humans from other animals in the direction of their thinking patterns.

And our human ancestors are actually living a very hard life, but they are also very happy, because they live the life of collectors, that is, they go out of the cave every day, and then go to the nearby areas to collect some wild fruits and other things. Anyway, there are quite a variety of varieties.

.

Maybe we modern people think that this is a very simple thing, but in fact it is not simple at all, because the fruits collected by our ancestors were actually carefully selected. We need to find out whether this kind of thing can

When eating, is it poisonous? You must also guard against attacks by other predators, even a snake hiding in the grass, because a little mistake can lead to death.

Moreover, our human ancestors also have the habit of being passed down from generation to generation. That is, if an ancestor of the previous generation ate a certain fruit and died on the spot, members of the clan would record the incident and then pass it on to the next generation to tell the next generation.

This fruit is inedible and poisonous. However, our ancestors did not have writing at this time, so it was very difficult to record these things. It can be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

If we feel that it is extremely difficult for our ancestors to record one thing, what about recording other things? For example, if we have to tell future generations or members of other groups that a certain kind of snake bit us, we will also

Die, that snake is poisonous, certain animals need to be avoided in advance, because we cannot run as fast as them, and if we are caught up, we will die. Of course, there are many more things, for example: we said that we still need to record about a dozen

species, or even more than twenty species of edible fruits.

So to put it simply, our ancestors actually had a hard time at all. All the events verified were actually paid for at the cost of death. Even if it is a sharp stone that can scratch our skin tissue, all this has to be paid.

It takes a lot of money to get this information, and it also takes more time to record it and pass it on to other clan members, or even pass it on to the next generation, which is even more troublesome.

Another thing is that our forager ancestors have too many things to learn. First, we need to record whether the fruit is edible, whether there are snakes in the grass, we also need to avoid the hunting techniques of countless carnivores, and we even need to understand how to collect.

, how to make tools, how to communicate with other people in the group, etc., all of these need to be completely recorded in the brain.

If we say that we modern people are smarter than our ancestors, it is for sure, but, are we modern people? For example: if a person studies the construction industry, then he is only proficient in the construction industry, and he does not need to collect wheat and

Grinding it into powder, he doesn't need to learn how to make clothes, let alone how to make daily necessities, even a leather bag or something. Anyway, except for the knowledge of the construction industry, he doesn't need to learn anything else, because he can use money to

Buy it, it's that simple.

But our ancestors are different. Our ancestors have too much knowledge to learn. They need to learn any aspect of knowledge, including how to avoid being chased by a poisonous snake on the grassland. This must be firmly remembered.

Otherwise, it may lead to death! So we modern people are indeed smart, but we are also limited, but our ancestors are different, their knowledge is too broad.

So in the end, one thing was formed. Our ancestors, in fact, every human being, as long as they grow up enough to be independent, they will definitely be a master of gathering, or even a master of civil engineering, or even a master of sewing, or a master of hunting, etc.

, this is absolutely comprehensive, so each of our ancestors is almighty! This is different from us modern people.

However, the gatherers of our human ancestors are actually much happier than we modern people. This can be said because, for example, our ancestors gather fruits for about five hours a day, which is enough to eat for one or two days, while other people gather fruits for about five hours a day.

Time can be used to play or learn other things, and there is no need to worry about food shortages, because if food is too short in one place, you can move to other places. Of course, there are dangers in this process.

, but the risk is not very high.

So the gatherers of our human ancestors were happy and did not have much private property. Let us say that they only had one processed stone axe, so when he moved to other places, he only needed to take this stone ax with him.

, because there is absolutely nothing else.

But we modern people are different. For example, the computer, mobile phone, watch, even lighter and even cigarettes in my hand, and even a relatively expensive soap? Haha! Anyway, everything is my wealth, all mine

I bought them with the money I earned from work. When I move, I don't want to throw them away because I will need to buy them again.

This is doomed to say that it is not easy for us modern people to move, and you have to have a home. Even if you rent a house, you have to pay! If you don’t give money to the landlord, who will let you live there? Who are you?

Huh? Haha.

This is the difference between us and our ancient ancestors. Our ancestors could carry a stone ax and go on a long-distance journey at any time. Then they could simply find a cave or a place where they could live.

There are some other places that are sheltered from the wind and rain, and you can move in immediately without fear of some unscrupulous landlord asking for payment, and then disgustingly saying that the electricity bill is 1.51 yuan. If you want to live, you can stay, if not, get out.

, there are still people waiting to rent it.

But our ancestors didn't have these problems at all. They just saw wherever they were beautiful and where there was plenty of food, and they could live anywhere they wanted!

Another thing is that we humans have basically evolved to a situation where we are short of hair on our bodies, so we need to keep warm, and then there is the problem of fire sources.

I think this source of fire is definitely the greatest weapon of our human ancestors, and it is also the weapon that gives me the most headache. Ever since we humans have mastered the source of fire, a huge and devastating disaster seems to have occurred on this earth!

Let us first understand what control means. Controlling the source of fire is not like a lion seeing a bolt of lightning from the sky hitting a tree, then starting a fire and burning some animals on the tree to death. Then the lion ate the roasted meat.

But the lion cannot take away this power of nature, so it is not like controlling the source of fire.

Our ancestors are different. Our ancestors can drill wood to make fire, and can also use flint to make fire. So it can be said that when a fire source is needed, a fire can be made. Of course, let's not talk about how difficult it is to make a fire.
