 Ok, so, The basic bio-physical conditions constraining man have have not changed significantly since they first appeared on this earth. He has to eat, drink, seek shelter and companionship, mate, produce and rest children and live in community with others. All these are human constants. Water he must find; food he must either find or produce. And he needs protection from wild beasts, enemies and from a frequently hostile natural environment.
Given these constraints, life is hardly possible without a supportive social group; and the good life is impossible, as Aristotle says, one is either an animal or a God - and man is neither.😀🎈☕👍.
