Human beings have been around, in their current state of intellectual capacity for well over 100,000 years.
Looking at all that we’ve accomplished in just the last 10,000 years of known history…it is not unreasonable to assume that we could have accomplished just as much several times over already…but for whatever reason the knowledge of those accomplishments have been repeatedly erased from history.
@Archangel1313@lemmy.ca Look into Islamic scolars, a lot of scientific discoveries done in Europe after the middle ages were made hundreds of years earlier by them. Then I guess their dark ages started, making a lot of knowledge “lost”. On te other hand, you should keep in mind two things, the first is that knowledge is incremental, everything we know is built on previous knowledge. The other is that while humans were around a long time, they were not in the big numbers of today. As a consequence they didn’t need farming, they could always travel further to new lands for finding food and shelter.

Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze
