Unfortunately for mankind and woman kind consciousness and knowledge too isn't passed on to each other through osmosis or genes, only instinct is, so that with each child born limited to whatever the community wants or needs, and with each one have to start all over again..
Who is the enemy, who do you trust, who is going to fight which proxy wars for us or against us? Like the righteous brothers lament, you've lost that instinctual feeling.
The only real instincts seem to be crying when hungry, fear when frightened and given the amount of time, to crawl and get up on your feet and run like crazy. The supreme alien that put us here, or at least the one who put those crazy words in out head had to see we couldn't run faster than the lion, hear as good as the jackal, weren't as big as the dire wolf, so giving that much to evolution humans inVented their way to the gun.
Life is simple, isn't it?
That was the first thing I learned in anthropology is humans are tool makers out of necessity it seems. Humans are not content to idly sit by ( until recently in history) and watch the world go by or watch the world devour them, like the defenseless sheep, pre- weaponization era, which was sometime around Clovis spear head time. Humans learned early on that blood is more than pigment for cave drawings.
At some point humans divided into two main groups with many subheadings between the two. The two groups were the ones who wanted to stick by the water and enrich themselves off the natural environment and the other group wanted to be the suckers who leeched themselves off the other group.
The sedentary group learned to defend themselves and the other group learned offensive tactics of surprise, lying, cheating etc, attributes for getting what somebody else worked for.
It all got mixed up after a while so that now a days culture scientists like myself can only say the cities represent those who either work for or don't work at all for the takers ( remembering there are many subgroups between each of them, and the owners of the land who grow. The two main divisions in modern times are now realized the owners and possessors, both of which are hierarchical-the bosses and the workers so human kind has transitioned from freedom of survival to just being restricted by survival, no longer possessing instinct because instinct is more social than fear. Instinct tells us about trust, compromise, cooperation yet we've been led to believe that instinct tells us how to defend ourselves.
Mankind was not designed for individuality. Since the Cold War or communist revolution Americans especially, but capitalists everywhere inform us social(ism) is totalitarian, dictatorial when it is the exact opposite. They insist on believing that the mob(socialism) is chaos and individualism is creative and industrious. Art gets mixed up with industry. Everything the capitalists have common people (which they need a lot more than the common people need them) do separates and divides
