    It’s written in our DNA.

    Museum exhibitions always show these sad stories about how difficult it was for hunters and gatherers to survive, and a lot is based on graves of either rich people or those who were sacrificed and so on, but always dramatically tough and sad.

    Our DNA tells a different story. Our abilities to laugh, love, being bored and inventing stuff are not abilities that suddenly occured after we started writing about it.

    I’d like to think that their lives were a lot better than what we can imagine from seeing their graves.
