Indeed, Annemette, life is not limited by the technical hindrances that we may built. (A look at my balcony will make that clear, as I keep on hunting yet another spider that thought that this place is nice to live ;-))
But there are two ways to get closer to life. The one is the way of the stoneage, as you said, living in harmony (more or less) with nature - something that is considered to be magic.
The other way is to make the difficult travel from stoneage to the consiousness that lives in harmony with nature but after having understood what it is.
Dear Nick It truly is wonderful to see how nature finds a way to live through concrete, bricks and so forth. Sometimes I come to think how weird it´s that under a paved road there lies the earth. That brings me closer to the stoneagepeope! We build and create, but in a way we´re just small bugs:-) Take care, Annemette
