if I understand you correctly ... there was no meaningful sign of human intelligence
You definitely don't understand me. I looked back to see how on earth you could come up with such an absurd interpretation and I am stumped, truly stumped by your thought process.

Before some 4000 years ago there was little or no writing. Is that what you are getting at? Just because the humans of a million years ago weren't writing doesn't mean they weren't intelligent. The proto-humans were obviously quite bright to make their tools. The rodent like creatures of 100 million years ago were apparently brighter than anphibians who in turn were brighter than the trollobites. This is perhaps a billion years of blue that the greeks popped out of. Even flatworms have some capicity to learn.
