How'd they learn to eat?
 
Here's something I thought of when I was eating lunch today. Now, we all know the first person on earth have children, meaning that they lived up to be atleast 13/14 (when they hit puberty) but here's a thing. How did that person live up to be so old? Obviously, he/she ate. Now here's my question: When that person felt hungry for the first time in his/her list? How did he/she know, that by shoving something into their mouth and swallowing it, would cure that hunger? I dunno, it's an odd question, but it's making my brain bleed. Post some opinions if you've got any

Maybe because they tried shoving it everywhere else (not going to get into details) and they found out that when they put it in their mouth, they could taste it and swallowing ended up curing hunger. Or maybe its just instinct, i dunno.

A) Maybe the child was taught by parents.
B) Maybe it's in our brain. An instinct.

every organism injests food, it has been embedded into every oprganisms genetic code...just like monkeys know, we know

i think they musta tasted something and realized it tasted good, like putting the food in your mouth and sugar tastes good so you know what im saying

My view: God told the first people (Adam and Eve) what to do or gave them the instinct and either God or Adam/Eve taught the kids.

Then they ate the apple.

Ever notice how babies put everything they can find into their mouths?
Or how a newborn baby just knows to latch on to it's mothers nipple?

It's like breathing. It's in our makeup.

actually, yes...that is actually a reflex...babies cant really control it...i believe its called the babkin reflex, but i forget...if press both of the baby's palms the baby will close its eyes, open its mouth, and turn its head to breast feed...andn the baby has no control over his/her reaction...i think babkin sounds right...ill look it up somethime

Every living organism is instincually programmed with the knowledge of how to eat, drink, breathe, reproduce, survive, etc.

It just goes to show that humans are animals too.
