To the extinct, the lost and the forgotten

excerpts from Harari, Vandermeulen, and Casanave’s “Sapiens”

most human communication
is still gossip
our ability to create an imagined reality
out of words —
Gods, nations and companies,
learning to be afraid of new dangers
takes time

humans |
come out of the womb
like molten glass
large brains, using tools and great
learning abilities
superior technology and social skills
complex social structures are
huge advantages

here come the kings of the food chain
due to the advantages of fire
international serial killers
no fixed rate for human violence
all in
the space of a millennium or two

everything that comes together is
bound to be dissolved
remolding them will only scratch
or break them
maybe our primate cousins can teach us
“Anima”,
means spirit or soul
