We should not "live in the past" but gather information from it that can help us to live our "present" lives more fully. Living is like education. How can you do college work if you never went to high school or even grammar school? How do you learn how to do what you do in your daily life if there was no one to instruct you or inspire you? Who did the role model learn from and who they learned from etc until the beginning of time. Humans that are not in an environment where there are humans around them do not develop as we do. They do not learn social customs, language, etc. Like the people raised by dogs or by neglect. We do not raise ourselves.
