Then, due to the technological revolutions that occurred in the past 200-300 years, this side of homosapiens has been made dormant, at least for most people.

No. The game just changed but in general the spoils stayed the same. Men compete everyday it is just people like Musk, Bezos, Buffet, and Zuckerberg that are the big winners, not some Cro-Magnon man. There are also plenty of ways to compete in a more primal way everywhere you look. Sad sacks that sit at home on the couch and think of themselves as primal but do nothing to channel that until they explode are almost always just playing the victim. Get out of the house and compete even if you can't compete in the money/power game there are plenty of ways to test yourself against other men instead of brooding about how great it would have been to be born in another time when "men were men".
