Why do we like the beach so much?

594 viewsBiologyOther

I get that ports were historically very important and fishing is a source of food but none of that would have been relevant prior to the invention of boats.

I would think tens of thousands of years ago, the beach would be a place with no drinkable water, very little options for shelter, and very little options for food, yet we are drawn to it… why?

My pet theory is that we all ultimately came from the sea, and there’s some base level instinct in us to return. Or at least to stay nearby.

Some little kernel of fish brain that still exists deep within us.
