Human-ness & Time

What makes people, human or maybe what makes humans, people?

But first, time.  I think it's kind of important to understand
that everyone who has ever lived has lived in " modern " times.

In what ever time you live, you are living in the farthest
reaches of the future of mankind.   But of course there is
more than one way to look at that issue.

Anyway, that brings me to the idea of " the primitive ".

This concept is based on the notion that in the past
humans were not always as evolved as they are in
the present age, or in other words " modern times ",
which is basically another way of saying, the present.

But this whole notion of - primitive - indicates an
extra-ordinary leap from assumptions concerning evolution
and time, for which there are conflicting facts and
information.

Nevertheless, this idea has " justified " an incredible
amount of brutality and exploitation throughout
history.

So what makes us human, anyway?

Well, I think one fundamental and important
aspect of human-ness is our ability to see
the humanity in each other.  However, it is
a worthy idea to reflect on, more.
