Lesson: 20 How Prehistoric Man Survived
Gauge’s Habit Center existed in the human brain even during prehistoric times.
This is why Prehistoric People didn’t engage in prolonged contemplation when confronted by a 600-pound Sabretooth Tiger.
They didn’t need to because their instinct to run was hardwired into their brain’s Habit Center.
The urge to flee from Sabertooth Tigers had become ingrained in their Habit Center through repeated experiences of witnessing other prehistoric individuals being killed and consumed by these formidable predators.
As a result, when Prehistoric People encountered these massive tigers, they instinctively took off running within a fraction of a second, without pausing to think, “I better start running before that big tiger eats me.”
The existence of Gauge and his Habit Center was pivotal to the survival of prehistoric humans.
