What skills and activities were most important for fitness through most of humanity's history?

Looking at my cats play, I realized that their games revolve around seeking/hiding, chasing/feeling and attacking/defending. Those are the skills which are most important to a cat’s ability to survive and pass on its genes. Evolution has made it so that kittens get pleasure from training to become proficient at the tasks which increase their fitness.

In the human realm, we can also see this. We seem to very much like fatty meats and evolving an incentive to binge on fatty meat when it’s available makes sense; It’s easy to digest and has a lot of calories and protein. Sex is another activity which increase our fitness and which gives us pleasure.

I’m wondering what attitudes, preferences, activities and skills were most important for fitness for most of humanity’s evolution.

Taking pleasure in hunting, evading/defending against predators, vanquishing enemies and looting them, foraging/resource gathering, tool making and shelter building all seem to be skills we would have developed very long ago and that evolution would select for people who get pleasure from those activities or at least training for them. Incidentally, that’s what the game Minecraft revolves around.
Am I making a fundamental mistake here?

What other skills and activities were important for fitness for most of our evolutionary history?

For most of our evolutionary history fitness skills were important for mere survival. If you didn’t develop certain basic skills (like running), you didn’t live long enough to pass anything on.

If you look at infants and small children, you’ll quickly notice that hand skills (reaching, grabbing, holding, turning things over to inspect them and finally stacking) seem to occupy a great portion of the child’s waking hours. I’d guess any kind of activity to develop eye-hand coordination is hard-wired into our development.

Don’t forget social skills/empathy. It’s very hard to function in an inter-dependent group of intelligent beings if you don’t have a sense of the mind set of other people. Some of this is innate, but much is learned. It’s one reason why kids need parents.

Viciously hating people who aren’t from your tribe was a very important driving fundamental attitude for primordial man that has carried over into modern day, albeit with diminished usefulness. It’s pretty much just baggage at this point, though unfortunately the vast majority of humans alive today[citation needed] seem unable to detach themselves from it.

For most of human history starvation was an annual event. Keeping weight off wasn’t the problem, keeping it on was.
