All these experiments should be repeated for existing hunter-gatherer cultures like the Piraha and Kung. I bet they will score higher on grooming and endorphins. I was confused by the historical graph that shows grooming going up with time (contrary to my intuition). How would you know what percent of time was spent grooming by our ancestors? Was that graph about speculated kinds of grooming increasing with length of time from the past?
It's not like our ancestors didn't dance, laugh, have mystical (not just religious) experiences with each other and nature, and tell stories! They may have had a smaller number of people to connect with, but it seems like the connections were much more "endorphin-rich" than a typical person in today's society.

This was great! Took notes and learnt a lot, the topic itself is very intriguing!
Thanks for posting!
what I often wonder about how tho is how do research academics find quality time to nurture social friendships ie support the social group
great stuff:)
