Such rubbish.

Maybe it was 25000 years ago or a million years ago....anything but reality.

All this stuff giving us modest sea navigation, symbols on cave paintings likely pre-writing, language, symbolic thought, complex language ... the only thing then required for civilization was the beginnings of agriculture AND right climate period for it to take off.

The seas were smaller and saltier during the ice age.

And if you believe that, they’ll tell you another one.

News flash this morning earlier on FR: Britain has closed their office on man made global warming. One more farce finally gets what it deserves; chucked into File 13.

Before the last glaciation. Not surprising.

It sounds logical to me-even ants have sense enough to hang onto something that acts as a raft to get across water-I’m guessing early humans did, too...

I suspect that were the ancients too moronic, today’s morons would not have made it.

"The seas were smaller and saltier during the ice age."

That's right. I believe that the Med nearly dried up during the Ice Age and many of these islands now were not islands then.

The Med has completely dried up at least 40 times but the last time it did so was 5 million years ago. There is a layer of salt on the bottom that is two miles thick made of salt of a type that only occurs during exposure to full sunlight.

With the exception of what has gone in orbit and other space junk, Voyager included, everything that was here, is here.

...as they walk around with their mouths agape, staring down at their "smart" phones (chasing make-believe monsters).

Just read the Federalist Papers to see how much smarter humans were, just a couple hundred years ago.
