The way we play this game, you can't just make a claim and then say you are not going to back it up.[/quote]

It's just an assumption and a starting point, I'm not claiming that it's how it should be. I'm not sure how to say what I'm trying to say, this is just an attempt at that. (I'm not even sure of what I'm trying to say)

Ok, so we evolved into hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherers are modern humans. The hunter-gatherers are the ones who developed the new technology of agriculture, city-building (Jericho, for example), domestication of animals, and so on. They are us. We are as one with nature as they were--which is to say, they, like us, operated ON nature, and operated WITHIN nature. — Bitter Crank

I guess I mean that we evolved for a certain kind of environment which is that of how it was before complex civilization, that specifically, we didn't evolve to sit on chairs, to live in houses with lockable doors, and so on. The rate that we evolve biologically, is exceeded by the rate of change in our environment.

Ignorance is not more 'human' than knowledge. It has been a very very long time since we (homo sapiens) were at a point in our evolution that we could choose between the innocence of ignorance and the fallen state of having knowledge. We chose knowledge, and it is very fortunate that we did. — Bitter Crank

While we as a species may have made that choice and while it may have had benefited our species, there should be a distinction between what we know and ought to know as a species , and what we know and ought to know as individuals. Certainly there are many people who are quite ignorant in modern society; many of whom wish to be.

Thanks for the recommendations, looking into anthropology might help me in my endeavors though I'd say I'm focused more on the psychological side at the moment.
