TP what you want to teach the kids in Kansas if I understand you correctly is that
up until 4000 years ago ( a negligible number in the scale of evolution )
there was no meaningful sign of human intelligence.

Evolution was slow, painstaking, one DNA change at a time.

Then, Out of the blue

only 2300 years ago

POP!!!


Greek giants of intelligence appeared who made
the discoveries currently being taught in US Universities:

With Brains more complicated than any supercomputer of today:

Homer and the Odyssey and Iliad
darkwing.uoregon.edu
BOOK VIII:: NOW when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared,

library.advanced.org

Archimedes of Syracuse
terraworld.net

Euclid
sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu
aleph0.clarku.edu

Pythagoras of Samos
geocities.com

All these bright folks arose instantly out of a Monkey.

TP I can assure you I am still looking for manuscripts from your cosmic Monkey.

Let's see where could he be,

maybe under my bed,

"come on boys and girls from Kansas, don't get fidgety now,monkey is right here. Keep looking,

In only the last 2000 years human intelligence has
increased by an almost logarithmic power
Don't confuse intelligence (The capicity to learn) with the amount of information discovered. The greeks of 500BCE were easily as intelligent as any recent person.

animals are rapidly approaching us in IQ
I've learned that you are not a stupid person, but you play one on this thread. This is another strawman argument so I presume you have to response to the real arguments
made.
