December 7, 2018
The way we do things nowadays has changed dramatically overtime, however the basic structure of the human brain has remained unchanged for the most part. However, the way we process information today has changed and we require a particular set of skills to do it. This was not the case in the ancient times; back then humans relied more on their instincts rather than technology. The survival techniques that they used were amazing and here you will find some information related to that topic.
A Recap
The people of the ancient civilizations had a very different lifestyle. Below you will find some amazing facts about the people before us.
Hunting
According to researchers, the art of tracking and hunting has had a great impact on the evolution of human beings. This is because the art of tracking required creative and intellectual abilities like physics and mathematics. This is why experts believe that the tracking of animals might have been the origin of science. Many believe that before they began hunting, the humans first started tracking.
Identification Of Objects
The ancient people knew the difference between edible and medicinal foods on sight. This was the kind of information that was passed on to generation after generation. According to modern researchers, losing this kind of detailed information over time was one of the worst things that could happen; due to the loss of this valuable information man forgot the necessary survival skills. Nowadays, the best way to learn whether a plant is safe to consume is to run it through the universal edibility test. However, this test is not a 100% accurate, as all plants do not have the same properties.
Navigation
It is really amazing to think of a time when people travelled great distances without the assistance of a GPS or a map. With the help of modern techniques, experts have found out that people were able to travel distances of hundreds of miles without maps. Although the human brain is very powerful and can remember landmarks to make crude maps, modern humans have suppressed this ability and rely a lot on technological assistance to find their way.
Making Clothes
The types of clothes varied from region to region; clothes would be thicker in a colder area, whereas people from hotter areas wore lighter clothes. The techniques of making clothes has changed over time, as according to scientists the humans of the middle stone ages were already hunting. This means that that would have been making containers and other utensils using animal skins. This ultimately means that they had many materials to make clothes as well.
