I have always wondered whatever happened to humans before the last Ice Age?
People were still humans 50,000 years ago and had to have shelter, food and clothing.
Yet we find no traces of civilizations anywhere older than about 5000 years ago - 10,000 max.............................

My opinion is that both Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis lived in such small colonies that no written language was needed -- and hell, that survived until mid-last century -- and that was pretty much the status quo for the 10,000 years before that. Therefore no 'traces' other than bones and whatever period artifacts the layers give up.
We, for some reason, only account for 'traces' through the earliest recorded surviving fairly organized 'language', Egyptian hieratics.
Yet we know instinctively that civilization is much older, much more organized that whatever is dispensed through the pubrik skrewel system.
To wit: the Greek civilization that produced the Antikythera Mechanism? Sorry, that means there were similar 'computers' that organized not just celestial details but daily life Before Christ.
Which, fascinatingly, makes Christ's murder a modern assassination.
Robert Schoch's work on the Great Sphinx and other ancient sites is going to eventually work it's way into our history books as the true story of our unknown past. What the "standard" model of history tells us in no way matches up with archeological and geological discoveries and ancient text.
