From Dens To Lairs And Trees

When We Were Approaching The End Of Our Den Days, 
All Over Earth We Were Entering The Overlap Stage 
When We Left Four-Legged-Ism Behind And Entered 
The First Stages Of Bi-Pedal-Ism...(Drum Roll)


(The Fossa, Mountain. Lion, Mongoose, Buffalo Jumps, 
Inukshuks, Drawings On The Ground)




Places Around The Planet 
Where No Trees Grew We 
Merely Moved To Bigger 
Deeper Holes, Our Range 
Of Vision Restricted By 
Den/Lair Walls, We Grew 
Up With Blinders On, 
And Had To Move Our 
Heads To See Sideways...

• But Our Quadra-Ped Ancestors Who Lived Near Trees 
• Had Been Able To Stand Up Straighter And Taller Than 
• Den/Lair/Cave Man On Account Of Reaching For Food 
• Off Of Branches, Hoisting Our Children Up To Safety, 
• Escaping Into The Forest Heights When Packs Of 
• Predators Invaded Our Den Communities... Individual 
• Carnivores That Attempted Invasion Were Destroyed...

The Difference Between Den-To-Cave Through The Lair Stage, And The Those 
Of Us Who Went Through The Tree Stage, Is Historically Obvious...

• Lair-Brain Was Scared All Of the Time...
• As Invaders Assailed A Lair Community, 
• Survivors Would Flee Away From The 
• Assault And Converge On the Central Lair,
•  Then Turn, In Greater Numbers 
• And Attempt To Fend Off The Invader
• With A United Population, Safety In 
• Numbers Accomodated Our Instinct 
• To Form Communities, This Did Not 
• Mean We Always Won, Lair-Brain 
• Was Notoriously Malnourished 
• Compared To Our Tree-Dwelling Brothers,
• And His Method Of Fighting 
• Required Little Thought, 
• Vicious Blitz Attack, 
• Extreme Energy, Kill Kill, Kill,  
• Or Lose And Die Off 
• Of The Back Of The Pack;

Lair-Brain Was Naturally Scared All Of The Time; 
Our Gestation Periods, As A Species, Were 
Getting Longer And Coupled With The 
Diminishing Sizes Of Our Litters/Broods, 
Until We Got To A Point Later On In Our 
Cave-Era, When More That Half Of Our Babies 
Were Still And We Were Losing Mothers 
At Birth...This Concerned Us Greatly, 
And Replenishing The Species 
Became Our Number One Priority;

• Interesting That The Difficulties That Our Species Face Today 
• Are On Account Of Endeavors Where Humanity Was Not 
• And Still Is Not, A Priority At All, Acceptable Death And
• Disposable Populations Prove That Industrial And Technological 
• Advances Have Had Little To Do With Human Progress, 
• And That People Who Have Lived In Human Cultures 
• And Communities Around The World That Had Healthy 
• Relationships With Humanity And The Planet Have Long 
• Been Targets Of Those Whose Diminished 
• Level Of Personal Humanity Have Continued To 
• Accomodate An Anti-Human/Anti-Planet Mentality...

While Tree-Man Flourished Having 
Been A Reacher And Climber
We Would Become Stronger 
Faster, Taller, Smarter...


And Eventually Lead Our Species 
Into The Human World,
Because Tree-Man Realized 
That There Was Nothing We 
Couldn''t Deal With, Overcome,
 Or Eliminate, We Grew With 
Aspirations, Hopes And Dreams, 


Lair-Man Cold Only Tell Fantastic 
Stories Because His World Wasn't 
Worth Talking About, A Vicious, 
Bloody World That Dealt Death  
At Every Turn... 


And While Tree Humans Lived In  Relatively Similar Worlds, 
The Ability To Get Above it All, Observe And Attack Spatially, 


Lair-Brain Blitzed, Tree Brain Surrounded And Eliminated... 
No Survivors... Tree Brain Was A Pack Hunter, 


The Indviduality Of The Den And Lair Prevented Lair-Brain 
From Forming productive Hunting parties That Could Target 
And Harvest The Best Meat From Any Other Species... 
Lair-Brain Relegated Half Of His Best Hunters And Warriors 
To The Back Of The Cave Because Females Would Atrract 
Carnivores Of All Shapes And Sizes Survived, Barely, On 
Straggler Meat Picked Off Of The Back Of The Herds That 
Were Targetted, Good For The Herds, Bad For Cave-Brain 


All Over the Planet We Have Historical Evidence 
That Many Lair-To Cave Commmunities Did Not 
Survive, Petra, The Anisazi, Etc.,


Those Cave Communities That Survive Today Are At War, 
And Have Always Been Under Attack From Invaders, 
And So Must Live In Incredibly Hierarchical Societies, 

• The Most Vicious Having
• Historically Dictated 
• Activites And Thinking, 
• Orchestrating Marriages, 
• Attacking Different Thinking, 
• Assigned Roles To The Young, 
• Regardless Of Abilities And Talents

AND THOUGH WE ALL DESCEND FROM TREE-MAN ANCESTORS, 

THE FEAR OF THE CAVE BRAIN, DENIED HUMAN COURAGE

BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF AN ENVIRONMENT THAT 

PROMOTED WIDE-RANG VISION, HENCE OBJECTIVITY

HAS FORCED US TO ADOPT HIS COWARDICE TOWARDS 

EARTH,  HUMANITY, OTHER SPECIES' AND HIMSELF, 

ACCOMODATING OUR COWARDICES WITH 

ANIMALITY, AS OPPOSED TO FACING OUR FEARS 

WITH COURAGE AND HONOR TOWARDS OUR SPECIES, 

OTHER SPECIES', AND OUR PLANET.
