I think what people are trying to figure out is when we started thinking abstractly. Even today most people spend most of their life thinking concretely. We can think abstractly, but it does not seem to come naturally.

Humans are more comfortable with concrete thinking.

One of the primary variables, IMO, between liberals and conservatives is the amount of abstract thinking each does.
