We then later danced around the fire, when we ate our newly killed dinner together with friends and family, celebrating that we’ll survive at least this week. If we, as cavemen, had killed a giant mammoth, we celebrated it by dancing at the spot, growling and running around. Gathering food, to survive yet another day. Now, what was the most important event every day, before we became civilized with our iPods, iPhones and iPads? (Since we all know that body language stands for 90% of communication, it’s not surprising that using the body to convey a message was the earliest way we used). Of course dancing was also sometimes used to show feelings for the opposite gender, but let’s focus on the storytelling. You see, one of the earliest structured uses of dances may have been in the performance and in the telling of stories, and events. This means that dancing triggers our lizard brain very easily.Īnd interestingly enough, dance and combat have even been intertwined for a long time : We all like dance, because it is a physiological phenomenon which has been practised since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. In other words, they are roughly 750’000’000 times faster than we are.Īnd some of the stuff we do are because of that. In comparison, modern desktop computers have CPU’s that clock speeds of over 3 gigahertz. People who know brains better than me calculated that. I mean, if we continue with the computer terms, a typical human brain has a processing speed of about 4 hertz. Our physiology is clearly behind the times. Your body is an antique biological machine, that evolved in response to a world that no longer exists.Īlthough we live in a world where computer processing speed doubles roughly every second year, human information processing has not changed substantially over the past 150’000 years. This means that your body – even if it’s in superb condition – is designed for success in the past. Human physiology, in contrast, took millions of years to create, and has not changed much in 150’000 years. Our world has changed rapidly in the past 150 years. A chronological misplacing of persons, events, or objects.Īctually, many people claim to have seen a car drive by in the background during a scene in The Lord of The Rings! Oops!Īnyway, now that you know what an anachronism is, ponder this:īecause of the drastic change in the world around us since our birth (the birth of mankind, that is), we humans are living anachronisms. Timewise, that would be strange, right? Often moviemakers make these small slips, and that’s called an anachronism. Have you seen any movies where some small detail just isn’t right?įor instance, imagine a movie about the Wild West, but somebody has a Rolex on. ![]()
