    Shouldn’t human nature evolve too though?

    At one point it was “natural” to live in a cave, not so much nowadays.

      Yes, that is why it is a social construction of the last 100 years. The post is saying that all (or at least many things) we consider human nature are not older than 100 years, at any time in human history

      Well no. It’s natural for humans to seek shelter, caves are very dangerous particularly when we still had mega fauna around, and what is you home but not a fancy safe cave.

      You’re describing too specific a behavior, not nature. Nature is more like:

      “It is in man’s nature to seek shelter from the elements”, and this suffices to describe men who dwell in caves, houses, or anything else.
