Hunters Quotations

Animals' taste systems are specialized for the niche they occupy in the environment. That includes us.

The theory I'm putting forward here is that storytelling is a genetic characteristic in the sense that early human hunters who were able to organize events into stories were more successful than hunters who weren't—and this success translated directly into reproductive success.
