Walden and ”Civil Disobedience”

” We may imagine a time when, in the infancy of the human race, some enterprising mortal crept into a hollow rock for shelter.” p.21

(E) He seems to be describing one of the first instances when man seeked out shelter, or maybe even man's natural instinct to look for a place to feel safe and protected. He emphasizes this by using the example of a primitive human, whom we can assume is very simple minded being the time that he was alive in, and even without modern education he still seeked out shelter for himself.
