I didn't say your speculations were unreasonable, just that I disagree. Since one cannot possibly fathom what aspirations might lie within human beings until subsistence issues are settled, I do not think it erroneous to focus on more developed societies. As soon as societies build up a substantial surplus, they start building cities, develop some sort of writing, develop social classes, and so forth. Apes are content to stay at a subsistence level, do not cover their nakedness, do not build houses or temples, do not coin money or sacrifice to the gods. They have neither literature nor art, but amuse themselves more simply. We may share most chromosomes with chimpanzees, but the differences in our behavior are dizzying......
