<HTML>Hi Jason:

Perhaps this is true but since Mikey has introduced homo sapiens at 130 k years ago ( strange I thought we were only dealing with homo sapiens sapiens , but then again what do I know ) now we have to try to figure out why it took humanity 120 thousand years to discover agriculture. It would seem that the Earth went through many climatic changes in this time. forgive me if I have just a little problem believing that that for 120 thousand years "man" was content to be a hunter-gatherers and never ascended to anything else in all this time and that the climate never matched that of the end of the last ice-age in all this time either.

Well it is just an opinion but weren't many tribes were found in the mid 19th and early 20th century still living quite contentedly as hunter gatherers. Why did agriculture break out in some places and remain virtually unknown in others .

Any thoughts ?

Cheers
