What I learned from the film Quest for Fire (1981):
1. Most of what passes for conversation could probably be done with three or four expressive grunts and some hand gestures, with no real loss of meaning.
2. It's bad form to laugh at your friends just because you're dating a girl from a more advanced tribe and they're not.
3. One lousy bald guy 80,000 years ago means lots of male-pattern baldness today.
4. Keep your friends close and your cow skull filled with smoldering embers even closer.
5. Missionary position is, apparently, counterintuitive.
6. If you come upon an adorable cave-bear cub, run.
7. Give a man a fire and he'll be warm until the next attack by Homo erectus. Teach a man to make a fire, and he'll probably burn himself.
8. Rocks falling on someone's head has always been funny.
