Children’s educative instincts still work beautifully, in our modern society, as long as we provide the conditions that enable them to work. The same instincts that motivated hunter-gatherer children to learn to hunt, gather, and do all that they had to do to become effective adults motivate children to learn to read, calculate with numbers, operate computers, and do all that they have to do to become effective adults in our society today (Gray, 2016).
