What would stop us from creating a technologically advanced civilisation hundreds of thousands of years ago? Smaller brain size? I doubt it! Our planet's resources would still be much the same (such as water, oil, metals, minerals etc.), our curiosity would still be much the same and our general intelligence would still be much the same too. The knowledge learnt by the people of previous human civilisations could not have been vastly different from the knowledge that we humans can learn today. After all, we still have the same Sun, the same Moon, the same stars in our night sky and the same oceans that we had many millennia ago! I can easily believe that all of the different fields of knowledge we have accumulated in our present civilisation such as music, art, astrology, geology, astronomy, physics, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics, making weapons, alchemy and so on, have already been expounded by our human ancestors from distant past civilisations. We're only recycling this knowledge. Have you heard the phrase 'There's nothing new under the Sun'? Well, I believe that phrase is true. Also, don't forget that people in prehistoric times would've still experienced EXACTLY the same emotions as we do. We get angry, they ALSO got angry. We shed tears, they ALSO shedded tears. We fall in love, they ALSO fell in love. We endure suffering, they ALSO endured suffering. We celebrate our joy, they ALSO celebrated their joy. Okay, I'll stop rambling now. I could honestly go on and on about this topic forever, I feel VERY passionately about it in case you haven't already noticed. kek
