Shouldn’t human nature evolve too though?
At one point it was “natural” to live in a cave, not so much nowadays.
So yeah, about 100 years for the caveman meme.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveman
Also, the vast majority of people in this time period did not live in caves. It's just that caves are much better at preserving traces, so much of the evidence for these early peoples that still exists is found in caves.
To think that they were 'cave men' and mostly lived in caves is like, well, seeing dinosaur footprints preserved in mud and therefore thinking that dinosaurs spent most of their time stomping around in mud.
Yes, that is why it is a social construction of the last 100 years. The post is saying that all (or at least many things) we consider human nature are not older than 100 years, at any time in human history
You're describing too specific a behavior, not nature. Nature is more like:
"It is in man's nature to seek shelter from the elements", and this suffices to describe men who dwell in caves, houses, or anything else.
Well no. It's natural for humans to seek shelter, caves are very dangerous particularly when we still had mega fauna around, and what is you home but not a fancy safe cave.
