Supermarkets Are Our New Savannah, Especially During Natural Disasters
News stations and websites show what happens before a big storm hits: supermarkets run out of water bread and other staples....
Humans evolved in an environment where food had to be gathered & hunted. As we are evolutionary still attuned to this way of food finding, in many respect the concept of the supermarket is just as outlandish for us as for a caveman. If only the supermarket wasn’t such a mundane part of our life, we would realize how exceptional this environment really is: the supermarket is our next savanna.
