    They made it too obvious imo. They should have continued to do their things, but while looking at the guy over and stare once in a while. If this happened to me, I would think it's a prank right away.

    @eaholland9146 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    He talks about "pre-language humans," but this is about a communal animal vs a non-communal animal. Wolves, for example, certainly have their own "language" (howls, barks, growls, etc are their language)--but if all the wolves stopped and stared at one, it would think the same. (Dogs do the same, if I stare my brother down and my dog sees, she begins to stare my brother down too and starts play-stalking him, lol). Part of a community is the ability to pick up on the physical ques of the group which can indicate something is going to happen or needs to be done even when speech isn't practical (or safe). The reason your body temperature, heart rate, etc change is because adrenaline begins pumping to your body in case this is a situation you need to flee or fight.
