and when our ancestors slept in trees I bet having a few ppl who stayed up late and were easily distractible by noises made a huge difference with leopards

And even if they were... it was VERY hard to find a diagnosing psychiatrist who would take your insurance. In the trees.

I stay up very late now that I can set my own schedule. My attitude is that my genes are why your ancestors weren’t eaten by a sabertooth tiger 20,000 years ago. 🐅😱 👍🏻

I read an anthropology article about the !Kung people and their sleeping years ago. Over something like 5 days, there were only 11 minutes when everyone in the village was asleep. We all have our places in the world, just not necessarily in an industrial society

Related but different—some older societies had roles for people with traits that make them more susceptible to depression, too. 😑

I still sleep in trees wyd

Listen, you want someone with specific hyper focus for tons of old time jobs like weaving, I probably would’ve done just fine with a job like that lol
