From an old chat, on doorways & memories

Subject: Re: RV absent in humans
Hi Bill,
your mention of "ground nests" for human ancestors is, to me, a
bit confusing. Have you come across any evidence that humans have ever
made huts like gorilla ground nests, or are you considering all homes on
the ground as "ground nests", which would include structures similar to
the snow domes of arctic seals (Eskimo igloos) or the dome lodges of
beavers (presumably "beaver" is from "weaver") (Pygmy dome huts) or the
roundhouses on stilts (as in Egypt and Scotland)?
I consider the shingled inverted dome-bowl huts to be specifically
human, and likely related to the Chrom. 2 inversion, and I think it
affected human evolution. Please see this article for the effects of entering
a room:
"Radvansky found that the subjects forgot more after walking through
a doorway compared to moving the same distance across a room,
suggesting that the doorway or "event boundary" impedes one`s ability to
retrieve thoughts or decisions made in a different room".

Interesting that entering through a doorway affects the mind. Humans
are the only hominioids whose night-time boundaries exclude the sky
(great apes sleep in bowl nests above forest floor). (link to submerging
into water?)
I think "entering" is part of what made us human, as opposed to
hopping into or climbing into a nest.
Words that mean "Inside", interior or in the hut:
West Africa Yoruba: inu
Congo Mbuti: endu/ra
Ethiopian Amharic: indani
Ancient Greek: endo/r
Spanish/Latin: at/ento (tent?)
German: immer (room is zimmer)
Sri Lanka Singhalese: daram (tent = kudaram)
Malay/Indonesian: dalam (tent = kemah)
English: entry/enter/interior/end/inside
