Division
Hello
Since they (hunter-gatherers) revered the natural world, it’s not surprising that they had both a positive attitude to the natural processes and instincts of their own bodies, and lacked the sense of
division from the body and sexual shame which characterises later peoples.
--- "division from the body", I assume it means that they felt a kind of separateness from the body, but I'm not sure. Is there a better, clearer way to express that?
