What would you say are the fundamental core needs of a human being?

If you need more context, how about...

You and nineteen other people (even gender split) were dropped onto a remote island in the middle of the ocean. The island has the essential sustenance of life (fresh water, animals and plants to eat). There are a couple of mountains, and plenty of jungle forests. You all awake, on the shore, with no prepared food, no supplies, no man-made shelter, or even clothes, and no one will ever come to rescue you (drive a boat nearby, or fly a plane overhead). Finally, all twenty people speak a different language and only know their own language; no one person is a specialist in any given field.

What are the core fundamental needs for an individual to survive in this scenario? The species? (Say you 20 are all that's left on Earth.)
 
I wonder if it would be easier to live on a desert island instead of a jungle island....
 
Determination and a willingness to work together
 
What a lovely island!
What a beautiful day!
We are gonna have a great time.
I feel like singing!
Find a good spot and make shelter, collect coconuts, get a fire started, grill some bananas, partner up with a lady, make babies.
Be kind, share food.

Hmm...what else do we need...
we can make rope, make some nets, go fishing with the boys...

Make a boat...
make some drums...

No money, no electricity, no phones, no internet to distract us...

Plenty room and resources for us all to live in peace and harmony.

We can spend our free time around the fire... maybe invent some new words.

Ninja skills! Definitely ninja skills! :m088:

That is not humane my dear. I am disappointed (emoticon of a very wise and disappointed person)
 
Patience, determination, intelligence.
