To quote xkcd, “On one hand, every single one of my ancestors going back billions of years has managed to figure it out. On the other hand, that’s the mother of all sampling biases.”
And ok, sure, the more recent ones haven’t had to rough it, but if you go back just a few generations you get to someone who actually knows something about something. Still, I think I could suss out at least enough to keep going until I inevitably got injured or sick or mauled by a wild animal.
That said, I’m very aware that this might just be unearned and unmerited arrogance, like the guys who say they could take a point off of Serena Williams on the tennis court.
