Well, it did make me giggle to think of it! Seems to me that the best way to be sure your offspring prospered under those conditions was to make sure that the whole small community prospered.

Someone invent a time machine quickly so I can satisfy my curiosity!

Thanks!

I'm not sure you need that time machine. That seems pretty silly to me! Wouldn't it be more likely that you'd count so that you knew how many rocks to pass before you stopped at the good watering hole? Or how many pieces of fruit to cut up so everyone got one?

Some theories are just plain goofy!
