the idea that humans are a garbage species is so obnoxious no one talks about the peaceful parts of history and prehistory because they arenβt as exciting as us killing each other but um homo sapiens have been doing awesome things all over for a long timeβ¦.we survived the fucking ice ageβ¦we made it through the sinai desertβ¦.we shared the savana with big cats before we ever made a weapon, we wove baskets from literal plants and halved blades from flint to handles we made, carved harpoons from bone and fought megafauna for our loved ones, cooked food and took care of the elderly and buried our dead, painted pictures and shared stories, built homes from clay and mud and straw, made instruments so we could dance and singβ¦it is so easy to focus on the negative and i get it ok we are in the middle of a mass extinction event that specific humans are at fault for but listen: they donβt want you to remember it hasnβt always been like thisβ¦we were and are so much more than evil
