Humans as we know them today have existed for about 200,000 years, and human ancestors for something like 6 million years.
The Industrial Revolution happened in the 1800s which is less than 200 years ago. Since the industrial revolution human lives have changed drastically. It has become standard for Humans to get up every morning and leaf home to go to work in exchange for money. The work task are of a monotonous nature where the same things are done day after day year after year.
Humans have Physically and Mentally Evolved for the Modern Working Environment.
Natural Selection and evolution takes a long time over many generation to take effect. The time that has passed since the industrial evolution is nowhere near enough to have had a significant evolutionary impact to enable us to cope with the demands of the workplace.
Given enough time if we continue going down this terrible path we have chosen humans could potentially evolve to thrive in such an environment But the path is a terrible and ugly one.
For instance Over many generations to come, those who are mentally least capable of coping will fall victim to Depression and anxiety related to work. Those people will continue to commit suicide and not pass on their genes to future generations. Any other inability to cope poorly both mentally and physically will lead to a reduced likelihood of successful reproduction.
The Modern Workplace is a Human Invention.
Having a job is not normal, natural or healthy. No species has ever had Jobs and gone to work for a living. It is a modern Human invention that really has no place in our life’s.
People get up in the morning earlier than they want to. they leave their home they give away their children to strangers in daycare and work for a company doing a monotonous task all day long in exchange for money. Then they return in the evening mentally and physically exhausted they collect their children and put them to bed. Then they watch some TV eat something and go to bed themselves only to repeat the same madness again the following day.
The Natural way for People to Live is Independently Within Tribes.
Our modern culture has people thinking that this is normal when really it couldn’t be any further from the truth. That which is normal for the human species is very different and always has been up until the Industrial revolution.
Humans are a tribal animal that have always lived in tribes of about 150 to 200 people. They get up when they feel like getting up and they do not leave home in the morning and return home in the evening. Their activities are not monotonous as they build and create everything themselves. Food, clothes, shelter and tools are created as needed. Families and tribe members do tasks together or by themselves within the tribe where their home is. Children learn by watching and trying things for themselves. They spend their childhood with their parents and participate and play with other children within that tribe in close proximity.
