> pre-modern people had quite a different life

You know I've thought about this, and if you look at it a certain way, I think you can say life is no different.

We still wake up as a group. We still "hunt" except the payoff is money convertible to food. We still eat together. We still sleep together (just across from one another in houses).

It's neat to think about.

Also, the massive impact of having a complex enough brain to form complex and intricate social structures made it possible for humans to dominate the food chain.
