The key word in the title of this piece is “Almost”–the senses listed are not esoteric in nature, but an exceedingly good point is made nonetheless. We have lost track of our connection to self and in so doing, to our environment. Without modern infrastructure and conveniences, the existence of at least some of the human race is questionable. No excuse for that really, considering how long humans have been around, you’d think we’d have all that figured out once and for all. It seems that Ancient footprints complicate story of human evolution. Researchers in Crete have discovered human-like footprints that predate prior discoveries by 2 million years. Controversy always arises when trying to disseminate the precise time that humans and apes diverged, so we can expect many more studies to be conducted before anything Sciencey is formally announced.
