...somewhere on the Earth, there was one homo sapiens born with an extry large brain and he begat a lineage of exceptional talent & creativity. BTW he was an Englishman.

My hubby would agree with you, having been a subject of the queen until just a few years ago.

LOL!!!

These threads provoke me to pondering and a desire to sort out all the remarkable discoveries that have occurred in such a short period of history.

I wonder how we would begin the fundamentals of metallurgy, horticulture, domesticating animals for fur and meat, creating tools and vessels or modes of transportation.

Our ancestors were so inquisitive and resourceful- even though I suspect many discoveries were totally accidental.
