章節 110: $1,328,420 [1/2]

It was often said that man was the only creature with a sense of self.

While animals spend all their time on survival, man alone went beyond that. Ants store food just to survive, this survival instinct was separated to how man lived from animals.

For example, man originally hunted and foraged. However, when weather or disease prevented them from doing so, this began to change. He began to store meat and eventually raised livestock. 

Then, in his wisdom, he learned to plant and began to cultivate the land. When food was secured, he began to improve his dwellings. Instead of making something that would fall apart at the slightest tremor, man slowly moved from huts, to houses, to castles. 

Those who bred too many animals began to trade them. Various professions began as the time spent hunting was used for crafts. With each new industry, the need for a stable measure created the concept of currency.
