I always get a chuckle out of "scientist" since Darwinism that assign ages and peoples to different intellectual evolutions.

People have been smart and intelligent since the beginning of human history.

Only a fraction of any civilization remains to be discovered by future generations once a civilization's glory is past and gone. Generally, just stone/gold/pottery is all that is left.

As we push more and more of our knowledge into easily destroyable digital media, it wouldn't take more than a huge EMP blast to send the USA back into a new stone age if we no longer had written books any more. Even those age and pass away. What are we writing in stone for future generations to uncover?
