That's an oversimplification. The threat of war was not an everyday occurrence and really only became a thing when tribes evolved into nations and countries. Burnout is an example of the types of stress that are not like anything experienced in those thousands of years prior.
- csee 5y agoThe threat of violence in the form of intra-tribal and inter-tribal violence was commonplace, even though nation states weren't a thing. I can't imagine that being less stressful than today where we have very close to zero chance of being murdered.
