We often see our ancestors eulogised as ‘noble savages’, leading an idyllic life in harmony with nature. Nature is ‘red in tooth and claw’ and our ancestors moved more, and more quickly, then those who didn’t – that’s why they have descendants. We are the children of the fastest, smartest, brightest, and best of humanity – sitting on the couch and eating junk food is not our destiny.
