What were primitive humans psychologically like

>>8810820
Define primitive. Humans from 50,000 years ago were the same as us. Before that we are not so sure. We only observe modern human behavior starting 50,000 years ago, but are unsure if that capability was there all along since anatomical modernity ~200,000 years ago.

Child-like, lacking in self control, prone to impulsive explosions of emotionality.

>>8810836
anatomically modern, were they more psychopathological than moderns

>>8810846
Hard to say. They didn't start "behaving modern" until 50,000 years ago, but we can't say if it was because they hadn't figured it out yet, or if there were cognitive advancements. The anatomy is identical so we can't tell from remains.

probably less

niggers

Like modern abbos probably.

The Great Leap Forward model of behavioral modernity is absolute horseshit.

There are so many dilettantes full of romanticized speculation about this topic that it is enough to scare away anyone capable of serious inquiry

Your pic is giving me a good laff, OP.

probably like Hobbes describes though. No real lasting civil societies or mutual agreements, just everyone fending for themselves and whatever small nomadic group one may be a part of. No place for ideas like right and wrong, just or unjust.

Very much like us. So why didn't they have civilization? According to Freud, civilization is a kind of willful slavery where freedom can never exist. They simply chose to be free.

Go back where? You did not specify a destination.

>>8812618
LOL check all these morons. "Freud was le dum" is a brainlet filter. How do brainlets not know this yet?

All you need to hear to know someone is retarded.
