Adam (from the stone age)
He could hear the blood rushing through his veins thatโs how silent the forest had become. His eyes are fixed firmly on the target, he has a great tunnel vision which made him lock the target, he drew a sharp breath and his torso snapped forward like a bowstring releasing a stone tipped spear.
tupppthhhh…!!!
Yes! it struck the target perfectly. This was the greatest achievement of his life. A smile spread across his face, knowing that from this moment on, he would be hailed as a hero among his tribe.
Meet Adam he is a hunter and he has a family to feed and a tribe to thrive. His partner Eve is taking care of their family.
Now he is the tribeโs hero, yet each day on the hunt, his eyes searched for something greater a prize larger than his last triumph, a hunger for a greater challenge began to stir in his mind a dream of finding a bigger target, one that would let him remain the hero of his tribe.
Adam (from the neighbourhood)
Meet Adam, Yes he shares the same primal instincts as our ancient hunter Adam. Today, his friend has caught a large fish, and now heโs trying his luck, hoping for a catch that will make him the talk of the week. Recently, Adam has grown addicted to fishing; itโs replaced cycling with friends as his new passion and pursuit of thrill.
The fish heโs trying to catch isnโt for his daily meal, but purely for the thrill of it a playful challenge, a test of luck and skill that gives him a sense of quiet excitement.
The evolution of hunter brain
Even though the Adam of the Stone Age and the Adam of the modern world are separated by tens of thousands of years, the modern Adam still carries traces of those primitive instincts. Deep within his brain lies the same ancient wiring the urge to hunt, protect, explore and conquer now expressed not through spears and forests, but through ambition, competition and the drive to provide.
