> life was hardship and adversity Life was certainly hard in ways that it is not now, but it was definitely hard in the precise ways that we evolved to cope with. You had to worry a lot about obtaining food and shelter, and protecting yourself from predators and enemy tribes. You also had vast amounts of time for playing, contemplating, dancing, cooking, having sex, drinking some of the weird concoctions made by the local shaman that made you see things differently. All of this. I am not sure I would be able to forego antibiotics, anesthesia and modern medicine in general, but for those not assuming this, I wonder how nice or lives of 24/7 stress and isolation would look like to our more primitive ancestors. Our lives are potentially longer, but are they more worth living? I'm not pretending to have an answer, but I do think the question is valid.
