1. What were suppose to eat, or meant to eat is always up for debate.
2 Our natural revulsion to looking at insects, or the first instinct in people to kill them for no reason.
3.Sleeping without a pillow, seems like a cruel and unusual punishment.
4.The weather is never just right seems like
5.Living above ground doesn't give us that warm and fuzzy feeling sleeping in a cave does
6. We can't compete with animals to supply our own food without devices or tools, nothing is really just natural to us maybe a fruit tree but then that had to be planted.

Just to name a few things of countless things alien to us on earth, probably because part of our makeup is not from this planet. imo
And we are the aliens

I think about stuff like this also sometimes.

Some of those things are not Alien to people living in the 3rd world.

The cave meant most of us go inside a house or enter a hole *door way* above ground or not it's still a dwelling, and it's not sleeping out in the natural setting,it's a artificial one we created.

most animals make a den ........everyone wants a home

Living as humans outside, giving the weather conditions of some countries would it be possible? This is intelligent design?

Some of those things I think are due to gradually evolving into modern living. Plus as far as tools go monkeys use tools as well. Ours are perhaps a little more compled but it is natural to make and use tools. Insects are considered pests and modern homes can keep most bugs out so people have become accustomed to living without them so that is something developed just like any habit. Some habits have been in humans for a long time so like any habit it is tough to break.

Food has gone from something we plant to something we buy in a can and again it is just a bad habit that has made us lazy. So now the idea of growing and preparing food is alien to us.

I'd say growing things was probably an acquired skill too, i-baster. Certainly never did our health any good in the long-term, imo. Also means there are a lot more of us too!

Good point

Hi Rick! Some interesting points you raise! Here's my tuppence worth in response to point 2, about insects. Reactions to insects do seem to vary from culture to culture, many people seeing them as food (e.g. locusts and witchitty grubs), whilst most Westerners feel great horror at the thought of eating an insect, In some cases, it's sensible to give bugs a wide berth, as many of them are venomous. They do also look really alien, and I think humans are hard-wired to regard anything as not "of the tribe" with suspicion (cute furry creatures being the exception, of course)! Why all this should be, I don't know! You need to ask an anthropologist! Do we have Desmond Morris in the house?

Pillows are "cultural" too, I think. In ancient Japan, women would sleep on with a hard wooden block with a groove for their neck so as not to disturb their elaborate hair-dos!

I have camped out,my longest stretch was six weeks, on a river trip once, and no matter how exhausted I was a pillow or something was needed under my head to sleep, it seems to me that also sitting in a chair is not good for us, blood flow is restricted, and your average person is in really bad shape, the insect thing is interesting you mentioned.

If we evolved from a ape there would have been missing links found, but instead I think we were mixed with catlike,reptile like and a giant race of warlike men, those were from mars.

I'm not sure where the catlike and reptile races came from, as far as primates go that's what we were in my opinion originally and man on earth as human's as we know them aren't that old I think.

I don't care how old of a human fossil they say they found, I don't think humans as we are today are much older than at best 10,000 years, before that we were more noticeably mixed with alien races in our appearance.

And the main reason the aliens bred us with primates was to have off spring with fingers,not claws or reptile type hands.and to have the intellect from the alien races, if you look back on some ancient tales many of the monsters were intelligent, but where limited by their hands, which didn't have digital capabilities.
