Once upon a time I married a cannibal. We had a daughter and named her Annabel. We taught her how to harvest all the meat off of a human body (even those hard to salvage strips on the face). But Annabel grew up in a modern day society where not many modern folk practiced cannibalism, so we let her fit it at school. But when Annabel the Cannibal grew up, she realized she wanted to be more like her parents who love her dearly. So, Annabel practices cannibalism only sometimes ritualistically and when she visits her parents. It helps her connect with her loved ones and she can still fit in at work. And since her parents are devilish chefs, she doesn't have to be afraid to pack a lunch!

Of course no one can tell you, only give their opinion on a subject such as this one, and I think that as we get deeper into issues and the ways of the world, there are many things about simpler times that could have evolved differently to possibly change the course of time. The deeper issues and the more simple ones I think possess a certain level of difference. Life is an experience and for most us, it is all about discovery. Within discovery I feel in each and every one of us, great or small, have certain instincts weather we choose to follow them or not. If we look at animals for a primal example, they can't all communicate with the words of education and socialization that humans can, and yet they all have a certain knowledge about life, for example, to be a herbivore or a carnivore, or even an omnivore in this case deciding which animals or plants to eat, which selectively not to eat, all in order to survive that of which I would crack up to simple instincts. Getting down to specifics weather marriage exists because of human nature or human ideas, weather the thought of cannibalism could be accepted as a primal instinct or put off because of socialization, and which group to put each topic in, is a question that I am still wondering about and I’m sure couldn't know unless I knew the full course of humans and their pasts.. and although that's something important that I simply can't know for certain, I have learned to accept this and simply enjoy the moment of now, of my own life, as it continues.

I tend to agree with the song from "South Pacific": "They've Got to be Carefully Taught"

I am gonna skip cannibalism for now...
Marriage? The head caveman would have had his pick of women or all the women for that matter. He would fight a neighboring cave dweller who was trying to take his woman, if he chose.
Naming? I think that would have been a series of, "Ughs" and sounds like that at first. That could have expanded for caveman 2 wouldn't know if boss caveman was calling him or caveman 16.
Caveman leader would have been a role model, so whatever he did the others would do until they saw something that got them more food and maybe they would leave for another cave.
Cannibalism? I don't know. Seems that caveman would have watched animals to see where to get food and water at first. Red berries from a bush by the water and then they see an animal grab a fish and eat it and they followed suit. I think cooking came about accidentally. Some cavedude tripped and dropped the fish in the fire and they thought, "Yummy!"
Maybe if they saw animals eat their fellow animal they might do that, but it doesn't quite make sense to me.

If I was in another environment which has everything that is completely different from those my current one has, I am quite sure I would be a totally different person; which, if that's true, proves that human beings are greatly affected by surroundings. But think about it. There are some things people have in common in terms of their behavior regardless of how far they live from each other. How should I explain this?

If we took away our socialization, would we listen to our instincts more and be better off? When I listen to my insincts it increases my happiness.
