What we have accomplished in those thousands of generations was made
possible by the transformation of the brain. Something happened within
the brain
that catapulted modern man into being the creative genius that he
became. For a hundred thousand years modern man did not do much of
anything then suddenly 50 thousand years ago for some reason he began
creating - what happened? Was this transformation a phase of a
natural evolution or was it a revolutionary creation?
(Maybe the bible is not so far off. Adam and Eve may represent the
first imaginative modern humans. They were created thousands of years
ago, not millions of years ago, when they received a creative
imagination.)
