I would like to share an interesting piece from the book “Why men lie and women cry” by Allan and Barbara Pease. This book extensively talks about relationships which by the way you all know is my favorite topic!
They say that men have not changed much since their Neanderthal days. In the good old days, they were primarily tasked with hunting and feeding their families. It was their day job and also a sort of sport because hunting involved moving targets and the challenges that came with it. As the human race evolved, men continued to do what their ancestors did. Even today, man does a day job to earn a living and either participates or keenly follows sports on TV for recreation. Most of the sports, especially ball games (say baseball, cricket etc,) which were invented in 1800 and 1900’s involve chasing a moving target!!
I would like to add that the only innovation is that we have started chasing not only balls but also, girls on scooty, cars and busses (again moving targets). Other than that I don’t think there has been some significant evolutionary change in the way men lead their life.
Probably we still are the same cave men living in costlier/rented caves which are aesthetically designed ;-)
