The longest existing human struggle is to discover purpose, and a reason for stuggling in the first place!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As someone has already said, the longest one would be survival; food & shelter, then safety
Next would be love & being part of a group/family/couple where you practice the surrvival techniques

Neanderthals did not have the time nor luxury to think about religion, philosophy, truths or anything beyond the necessity of staying alive for one more day; about getting food and shelter for themselves & family!. All the other things mentioned are for more advanced societies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The pursuit of love cannot adequately be described as a "struggle," unless your love happens to be an unrequited love!.

Struggles would need to involve some sort of "agon" (our the Greek word meaning "battle" or "contest", and the root for the English word "antagonism"), a give-and-take between two parties or forces!.

well the jews sure have to put up with allot of sh*t but i think the largest human struggle is unanswerable questions!.!.!.where did we come from!? why are we here!? what's our purpose!?!.!.!.!.these are questions, that people just make up answers for, and we have to choose to believe in peoples theories based off of blind faith!.!.!.and so many people get killed and tortured for conflict of different answers/beliefs!.!.!.!.those questions cannot be answered, but most people think they can and are answered!.!.!.that is the endless struggle!. evolution has holes in the theory, infact it has about the same amount of holes as popular religions have!.!.!.and who would want to believe in evolution anyways, it just says that we are hopelessly living on!.!.!.!.with that theory we would be doing humanity a favor to nuke us all and get it over with!.!.!.!.religions usually bring about fascism/bias so people get killed for conflicting beliefs, it's just madness!.!.!.we have no choice but to believe whatever answers appeal to us the most!. it's either that or search for nothing!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think there is just one since we have more than one desire!. As long as man has been, so have struggles for power, control, love, freedom, religion/ spirituality, efficiency, health, etc!. They shall continue until man ceases to exist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Love!? Sex!? No real struggle there!.

No!. It is the continued survival of the human species!.

Humanity may look secure now but nature usually has some nasty tricks for over populated species!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
