Cerrar los OJOS en la prehistoria era una sentencia de MUERTE

Discover how extreme darkness shaped the human mind and why our biological clock still holds the secrets of prehistory. Before electricity, screens, and the artificial light that now illuminates the streets and windows of our buildings, night posed an absolute challenge to human evolution. The mastery of fire and embers not only provided warmth but also created the first circle of safety where stories, communication, and shared vigilance against the dangers hidden outside the cave were born. Key facts about our nocturnal biology: Ancient humans practiced biphasic sleep, waking naturally in the middle of the night. Fire divided day and night, allowing our ancestors to repair tools and share the first stories. Profound darkness triggered a state of alertness and group vigilance vital for survival. Nightmares functioned as evolutionary simulations to prepare the brain for real threats. Our internal clock is still regulated by natural light, now disrupted by the constant light from cell phones and lamps.
