stir the pot by referring to Cremo Thompson's Hidden History of the Human
Race, a condensation of Forbidden Archeology. Their invesigation pushes
evidence of intelligent hominid habitation way, way back in time. It's

arent smarter, we just have more tools to work with. however, one

Seems antiquity is loaded with examples of engineering and
architectural works that have us thinking that perhaps the people of
that age were intelligent beings and had not degenerated which seems
to contradict the Darwinian theorists.

Yes, but it has nothing to do with fundamental innovation or basic
research. People such as Einstein, Dirac, Mizuno, Miles or Oriani are not
motivated by money, and their work seldom yields any direct profits.
