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.

So if a jaguar comes into the village...

The women are there by themselves.

The men are out on a hunt or something.

That's the kind of thing that they are unprepared for.

That's really dangerous.

And so there were some gender differences there between that.

And we see that, I don't know about in modern dreams, but certainly again, in modern fiction, women tend to like stories about men who are dangerous to other women.

And men tend to like stories about men who are dangerous to other men.

The only books that men read more than women is military history.

That's the only genre that men read more than women.

And military history, of course, is about men harming other men.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Which is the kind of thing that men historically have had to deal with.

Dreams are still kind of the last frontier of consciousness.
