But when it came to things that we, as you said, like somebody just died and we don't know why.

Now with science, like the reason that got developed is because we were curious about that.

Like, why did this happen and what bad thing caused it and how can I stop that bad thing?

That's the essence of medicine, right?

Yeah, well, there were some gender differences there.

So men, this was done like the 80s by an anthropologist by the last name of Gregor.

Men were more likely to have bad dreams or scary dreams, nightmares about snakes and spiders.

So why would that be?

Or flying insects like poisonous insects?

If you live in the jungle, it's kind of hard to be prepared.

You don't have a weapon that is particularly good at dealing with poisonous insects or poisonous snakes.

You just have to find them and you can kill them with anything, but there's not like a real effective way of dealing with it.

The men would go out, of course, and they would hunt.

And that's the kind of thing that they would encounter that they were unprepared for.

Jaguars are really a really common predator in South America and have been an issue for humans and other primates for a long time.

But we've kind of had a chance to learn a little more about them, where we might find them, how we counter them.

Right.

You can counter a jaguar with a spear probably more easily than you could a snake because the snake you're not going to see is going to bite your leg and then you're screwed.

The jaguar, he might get the jump on you or one of your group mates a little bit, but as soon as you see him, he's a big target.

Women would actually have worse nightmares about jaguars or other dangerous tribesmen or things that they were unprepared to deal with.
