happenstance maybe, i don't mind the thought that we're just lucky monkeys...sort of puts things in perspective, but i'd still like to know what triggered that intelligence...
until than all this debate comes down to is personal belief, some scattered bones, broken tools and theory.
sort of daunting i suppose, thinking about how fascinating prehistorical man was, what they achieved with so litte...advanced knowledges.
yay promethius.
