I was just (shower) thinking to myself that humans must be all the chimps that couldn’t help but chase some random thing out of the jungle and into the plains/Savannah/desert and were lucky or smart enough to survive. All while the other chimps were happy to chill.
From my understanding it's not that they left the jungle, rather the jungle dried up around them over time.
That makes sense! My shower thought was no more than a brain fart and was at most symbolic or allegorical about human nature.
I think all other animals are also anxious, in their case to find food, shelter and not get eaten
so are most humans, certainly many billion. 9 million of us a year die of starvation.
As to anxious, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Iran, Ukrainian etc. having bombs dropped on you. Fuck, you can be fishing in the Caribbean and some asshole sends a missile to make your day shitty
Ya, humans always have to have more, it will be our undoing, greed is what is going to take out our species.
