i'm just trying to figure out your point
people in ohio for example know whats in ohio. theres poison ivy and poison oak and shit. i dont know what it looks like. i know its out there. i know there are streams all over the place and running water is good. i know there are animals everywhere, i know the weather is stable enough to where i could bunker down and make it through winter snows and all of that
if i have a family/group of people with me i could survive until dying of sickness or something easily
humans dont live in the african plains like that, because the african plains offer nothing but death to us. those who do, know the area, they know where to get water, they know the animals, hell they run lions off of there kills
you are just thinking humans are some soft meat bags who need cell phones. it aint like that dawg
we're the same genetically as we are 100 thousand years ago. nothings changed except for the shit we build

But that was my point from the beginning tho.
If 1st world humans were put into the Savannah of Africa they would not survive, even though there are people who can and do survive there....because in the 1st world we don't have to hunt and kill to survive.
I'm pretty sure Africans could survive in our wilderness, but we could not survive in theirs because we no longer have the knowledge of how to do so, whereas the humans who first occupied the Americas and Europe would have been much more well equipped physically and mentally to survive in any environment because they had to....Native Americans could survive in the plains of Africa much better than the average American could today.
I'm only using Americans as an example btw
The knowledge of how to survive and adapt is something we are losing because we don't need it any more, when early Europeans were forced to move into the northern regions where it was freezing cold, they had never experienced conditions like that before but they still had the basic skills and knowledge of how to adapt and survive.
I think the regular man in today's 1st world could not do that, because they have lived relatively comfortably all their life's and for generations, and have never needed to use that instinct or skill, the senses are dulled and the mind is not used to having to think that way.
