Drinking out of hoses. 😂 We didn’t just investigate insects - we burned them with matches! I think you’re right. Life was a natural laboratory, and experimentation built mindsets that may be lacking in future generations.

I love this: “life was a natural laboratory…” We learned so much—independently. What a gift!
