Re: Humans are much older then first thought.

Ok, just a thought...

It seems kind of strange that man could exist for so long, and yet not accomplish that much. I mean, think about it - in the 20th century alone, how many leaps and bounds in technology have we made? That's a mere hundred years. If we have had over a hundred thousand years to evolve (technologically), shouldn't we be a little further along than we are now?
