Wayfinding-Maps

Wayfinding:

1. How do we really know what the earliest "humans" or "homo sapiens" did when it came to their feeding habits? Did they migrate back to their camp? Did they have that nomad like quality? 
2. Think of how easy we have it today with maps, and easy landmarks to get us home. Every street with a name; now with GPS and satellites...does this in a sense, this abundance of "given" knowlege make us less primal? Primal in a sense that we as a human race seem to be given so much that if we were stranded, we would not be able to survive...true?
3. Maps in a sense are lies. The world, in every sense continues to change. So thus a map is only temporary? 
4. What about people or animals with a "sense of direction"? Does this "sense" actually exist? Can a person who is lost find their way through and internal connection or feeling with the world?
5. Is there anything you can not map? Such as infinity?
