Was everyone just sick all the time? How did they keep everyone from dying?
In: 12
Modern people like to think ancient/primitive people were dumb but really, they weren’t. They just lacked as much technology as we do. (I mean, if you go back far enough, sure, but by the time we were tribal and capable of using tools, we haven’t gotten *that* much smarter.)
Those primitive people would have been able to see the correlations. “Oh, when I eat rotting meat I get sick. I shouldn’t do that.” “Oh, when I drink dirty water, I get sick, I shouldn’t do that.”
They would have been able to make the correlations (eventually) between certain things, one of those would have been sanitation. They may not have known *why* things happened, but they would know that they *did* happen and could figure out the circumstances surrounding that.
