Was she or he just filled with immense feeling of sheer wonder or did they not have such senses and comprehension yet?
Was fire just hot stuff that makes other stuff hot? Were the lights in the sky nothing but that?
Today I keep wondering if it might have felt constantly completely epic to be a human in the stone age at the sight of such wonders of nature.
Humans of today know what stars and fire are and yet we can stare to no end into the night sky or a bonfire and be completely enchanted by them.
The sad part of this is that this thought came to be because doing income tax paperwork today made me wish I were born in the stone age.

AI generated, artistic looking images
I feel oddly curious as to how the powers that be are going to address the topic and submission of AI generated artistic images on deviantART. I would hope heated discussions are taking place. This digital medium is about to go big, I can feel it. I don't care so much whether it should be considered "real art" (fucking lol) or not, but I wonder how it's going to be officially acknowledged and integrated as a digital art medium here. There are AI imaging platforms that let a user generate images by way of feeding so called prompts to an AI, in a way describing in more or less detail what the AI should work with. Other platforms can be fed base images that the AI may transform one way or another. Is an AI generated image to be considered created by the person who gave an AI a job? How should crediting and licensing and copyright work in this regard. Already I've been seeing obviously generated submissions on dA, with no acknowledgement from the submitter that that's how the image
Fairly Fine Fan-Art Feature
I've been reading Neuromancer. It's fucking dope. There's seriously not enough fan art. I've been playing Dark Souls (mainly 3, started 1 and 2). It's fucking dope. Great fan art. Before that I played Bloodborne again. It's fucking dope. Amazing fan art.

It is all thanks to inquisitiveness.

Ah, you pose some engaging things to think about, Thunderstatement
I'd say we were as curious and filled with the same wonderment as we are today. In fact, perhaps natural phenomena had even greater significance to them due to the immediacy their experience had to them which we don't find now. Their art, ritualistic culture and various theorised aspects of their lifestyles imply that nature was a notion of much broader preoccupation for them.
In the absence of the same particular threats posed by the things that once did, we're probably more passive in our current setting to hold as much importance on the same things due to their implications (or lack thereof) to our lives.
While these implications are in fact the same, they're easier to ignore. But our curiosity is still evident in the expression (or art) that we produce today and I'm thinking of film in particular. We tell stories that are speculative of what could be in the media, equivalent to the stories probably told through their own means during the time.
The function and sophistication in understanding our experiences then are far-removed from now, and perhaps even more so in the distant future. But the curiosity instinctive to us has, is and will be present to no end.
Lovely topic.
