Strip away all of the mod cons we all live with and we aren't so socially different from our ancestors.
By studying an industrially isolated group in Tanzania, scientists were able to compare their social interactions with those of people living in more developed parts of the world. What they found revealed that even without the internet, cell phones and other modern technologies, social interactions between humans remain practically identical.
If you ever sit back and wonder what it might have been like to live in the late Pleistocene, you’re not alone. That’s right about when humans emerged from a severe population bottleneck and began to expand globally.
