Whenever I have these discussions with friends I always like to remind people that our species is also still relatively new ... evolutionarily speaking. Our earliest ancestors were 2 million years ago but our anatomical ancestors were about 100,000 years ago but our earliest ancestors that looked, talked, acted and thought like us was about 30,000 years ago. Out of all that 30,000 years, it has only been in the last 200 years that we achieved modern science and technological expertise and development. The vast measure of our species for the past 29,800 years, we acted like frightened cave people that believed in sky gods, spirits and witchcraft while organizing our lives around sex, eating, finding shelter and fighting everyone else for these resources because we always thought we would run out of these things and we shouldn't share anything.
For most of humanity, we were hunter gatherers .... it's only in the last 200 years that we became modern ... so in essence, we are still hunter gatherers, with the same fears who happen to have access to machine guns, nuclear weapons, cars and the internet.
