“She further said that the intelligence of Stone Age humans was more akin to that of modern humans than previously thought.”
So basically, we’re just a bunch of frickin’ morons?

Maybe smarter. They never elected Obama or Clinton.

Somehow I’m thinking ancient man didn’t really make cyanoacrylate.

I don't know about the stone age, but certainly by the early medieval era this was a pretty well known concept. (Distilled) gum arabic and gum ammoniac were one method of applying gold leaf to manuscript pages, many of which are still in near pristine shape 1,000 years later. Because the gums are nearly transparent,ochres or other pigments were added so that the illuminator could ensure it was being applied precisely where he wanted it. I employed the very technique this past weekend on a calligraphy piece I did...

I think that’s the idea, LOL (not really LOL)
Clearly, just like the pretense of socialism is to elevate the underclasses by taking from the elites; the educational system is working to break down the intelligence of the upper end to that of the dregs.

Stone Age humans who lived about 70,000 years ago were such good chemists that they made a sophisticated kind of natural glue Humans have been manufacturing pretty good natural "rubber cement" for at least that long, too.

They couldnt possibly have known about chemical pH or iron content
but they knew that certain combinations of things worked very well, Wadley said."Yeah...those stupid farmers talking about sweet and sour soil didn't know jack about pH and couldn't taste iron in the red ochre.

No, ALL humans were created in the image of God, smart from the beginning.

That caveman commercial did more to destroy my image of stone age humans (cave women) looking like Barbara Bach in a fur bikini. Now when I think of stone age humans I only think of the stupid caveman commercial.

Back then, if something wasn’t eating you, or you weren’t eating it, what else was there to do but a little adhesive science labwork?
If they hadn’t done the groundwork, Billy Mays wouldn’t be selling Mighty Putty today.
