The Stoneage Headache
Have you ever wondered how modern man managed to survive the stone age? Judging by the local over the counter headache remedies I find it hard to believe that any primitive people could have survived a headache, brought on by the stress of knowing, ahead lay another day of out running and out thinking large hungry beasts intent on out living primitive man by attrition.
Sit down on a rock and cradle your head in your hands for one second and you become a sabre-tooth tummy warmer. Having trouble concentrating on the world around you, could leave you at the tender mercy of the local carnivore’s digestive tract. With a headache could you possibly hope to outrun Og the over-eater back when winning a foot race meant more than a trophy?
Of course one could always have stayed in the cave with a wet mud pack on the forehead, carefully avoiding the glare of the torches, lighting the artists/accountants talley’s of the days 100 meter dash….
And we think we have problems…

Maybe all the modern conviences(stresses) cause the headaches, and cavemen didn’t have them.
