where question marks belong has been a problem in science for millennia. We are discovering evidence of civilizations possibly 100,000 years old (maybe humans, maybe an earlier version?, we don't know, but, let's find out!). The Egyptians and other ancient civilizations had technology lost to time and the desert dust (electric light to paint the tombs without soot? See the Bagdad battery and the ank device). Lidar is an amazing tool revealing the true depth and expanse of human social evolution across the globe. We have barely written the first chapter of our journey as a species. There is so much more to being human than we allow ourselves to see. We are a resilient species able to adapt, adjust and, unlike other species, continue to evolve. Elephants have been around for millions of years. Why aren't they building houses? Keep asking questions.
