命运号角

And that was all well and fine in 50,000BC. And 30,000BC. And 10,000BC. But something funny has happened for humans in the last 10,000 years—their civilization has dramatically changed. Sudden, quick change is something civilization has the ability to do, and the reason that can be awkward is that our

evolutionary biology

can’t move nearly as fast. So while for most of history, both our social structure and our biology evolved and

adjusted

at a

snail

’s pace together, civilization has recently developed the speed

capabilities

of a hare while our biology has continued snailing along.
公元前5w年、3w年、1w年都这样是没问题的。但是公元前1w年后有些东西戏剧性地变化了。突然间，文明到了一定程度就发生了很大的改变，这个原因有点尴尬：人类的进化生物学不能进化的更快了，因此很长一段时间内，人类的社会结构和生物演化都像蜗牛一样缓慢变化。文明发展像兔子一样快而生物学变化很缓慢。

Our bodies and minds are built to live in a tribe in 50,000BC, which leaves modern humans with a number of unfortunate

trait

s, one of which is a

fixation

with tribal-style social survival in a world where social survival is no longer a real concept. We’re all here in 2014,

accompanied by

a large, hungry, and easily

freaked

-out woolly mammoth who still thinks it’s 50,000BC.
我们的身体和大脑还是公元前5w年的那样，所以给现代人留下很多遗憾的特质，在这个社会后遗症是虚渺无用的世界我们仍然依恋部落型后遗症。现在是2014年，伴随着一头大型，饥饿的，很容易烦躁的，模糊不清的猛犸，它仍然认为现在是公元前5w年。
