It is! I used to work at a farm/park.
Not a single animal under my care used clocks at all. If āFood Girlā is late, sheās going to hear about it!
As a mother who breastfed her childrenā¦ late gets painful early!
Humans invented clocks, furthering the quest to control one another.

On the other hand, I believe that those chronotypes have been made more diverse by artificial lighting. How many self-identified ānight peopleā would be so if their immediate surroundings were dark whenever the sun went down?

I have no doubt, given how many other animals have had their habits change. In Costa Rica, I saw lots of diurnal house geckoes and nocturnal grackles in areas with heavy artificial lighting.
