READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS.  The author (Yuval Noah Harari) discusses the early notions of who we and our fellow beings (other Sapiens, animals, plants, minerals) are, and how we interact.  He speculates that people back then believed that there was no distinction between sapiens and other beings, and that we communicate with them at will.  A hunter might talk to a deer he's about to kill, etc.

This all seems speculative to me.  I'm not sure how we can know it for sure.  But still, there is evidence, as the time spectrum of our history "moves forward," that at various times, sapiens believed in supernatural entities, and interacted with them along with the actual beings with whom they lived.

I'd like to move on from this discussion (i.e., move on from "animation") and investigate the more recent - and more sure - aspects of our evolution.
