It’s a reddish brown mineral ground into a powder.................

Now...THAT’S what I would call REAL gorilla glue.

I kinda agree with you. The missing link does not exist. I have a feeling man was quite intelligent when he first showed up. What changes throughout the ages is education (the real stuff, not leftist indoctrination), science (not today’s fake stuff) and advances in technology.

Take pyramids and other wonders of thousands of years ago, none of this was engineered or built by idiots.

And I believe many advanced technologies have been lost and rediscovered.

Definitely! I had a few colleagues who were partly neanderthals.

People have always used whatever comes to hand to adhere things.

Glue: So easy a caveman can use it..🤓

[Does so]

My poorly-framed pun on the Suthin’ vegetable “okra”...

“It’s a reddish brown mineral ground into a powder.”

that strongly resembles ‘Filet’ in ‘Gumbo’...................

You said it what I just posted...

Thanks Red Badger.
