I'm just not sure the common modern people dance at all.
They go to the dance floor and do some weird random movements listening to overly loud music of grossly low quality.
Whether people a century or two ago has interpreted this as dance or as some mental conditon is an open question.
I'm all for ball dance or irish dance but not for the club variety.
- JoeAltmaier 4y agoYeah what folks do nowadays is more like, I don't know, what people did for a million years before courtly Renaissance pedants started codifying it so somebody could be cooler than another person.
- thriftwy 4y agoNope! For a million years people spent a lot of effort on culture which meant their tunes (drum rhymes) and dance movements were quite advanced. We live in epoch of deliberate primitivism.
- cma 4y agoWe found dance foot pattern fossils or something?
- thriftwy 4y agoWe know a few near-neolithic tribes right now.
- cma 4y agoWe don't have good evidence for cognitively modern (vs anatomically) humans, cognitively modern including any known current tribes, beyond 200,000 years or so, other than I think there was some recent stuff finding decorative patterns a bit further back that might indicate it goes back more.
- lib-dev 4y ago> We live in epoch of deliberate primitivism. Maybe we prefer a more primitive lifestyle.
- smcl 4y agoI'm not one for clubs either, but I don't think it's fair to dismiss it as some inferior, primitive pursuit or imply that it's indicative of some mental deficiency. Clubs are not for us, that's ok we have other things that we like. Let people enjoy things :)
