To me, the facts seem to rail in the face of postulating the evidence of early man.
If man was walking around 10000 to 15000 years ago he should have been smart enough to write something down.
This is a great chasm to deal with "why the earliest writings do not go back no more than 4 to 6000 years ago.

It's even worse than that. Why wasn't man building computers and traveling to the moon and, for that matter, why wasn't he building cold fusion reactors?
I suspect writing, like a lot of other inventions, didn't come along until it was needed. If everyone you know is within earshot, why take time off from eating and breeding to do something as useless as write?
