it's insane how much lead people consumed back in the day.

plus it probably wasn't widely known that shaking your baby to quiet them made them retarded.

really when you think about it it's no wonder people in olden times acted like maniacs a lot of the time.

We need a new thread to talk about how cool Ötzi was.

Killing people with his bow and arrow, and pulling the arrows out of them to kill again.

Ratios and Tendency posted:

Farming gives you higher population density and trade networks which is the cultural equivalent of bigger brains.

I have a dumb hypothesis that in addition to this, raw population gives you more exceptional outliers, too. So your tribe of a couple dozen hunter gatherers is scratching off fewer lotto tickets than your city state of 100,000 to win the Einstein who helps you figure out a better pulley or the germ theory of disease or how to determine the area of a triangle or what the heck ever.

Clearly its the work of the old ones.

"The surviving structures, then, not only predate pottery, metallurgy, and the invention of writing or the wheel, but were built before the so-called Neolithic Revolution, i.e., the beginning of agriculture and animal husbandry around 9000 BCE. But the construction of Göbekli Tepe implies organization of an advanced order not hitherto associated with Paleolithic, PPNA, or PPNB societies.
...
But the complex was not simply abandoned and forgotten to be gradually destroyed by the elements. Instead, each enclosure was deliberately buried under as much as 300 to 500 cubic meters (390 to 650 cu yd) of refuse consisting mainly of small limestone fragments, stone vessels, and stone tools. Many animal, even human, bones have also been identified in the fill.[33] Why the enclosures were buried is unknown, but it preserved them for posterity."

I seen enough horror movies to know where this is going.

Good job digging up a deliberately buried yog sothoth temple idiots.
