| | | Well, intuitively have always looked back upon the history of the human race from its dawn of civilizations as a multi faceted, interconnected set of circumstance, all taken together in the enitre net of understanding can intimate/reflect an "intelligence". Nothing has spurred that world of discovery, human intelligence more than the arms race, developement of fortifications, weapons of war, of conveyance, communication, though there's other aspects to be considered, this has been the greatest of motivators, protection of territory.
One sees originally raw hunter/gatherer scavenger mode, which can be quite plentiful for an opportunist but over wide distances of time, many migrations, ups & downs, many adaptations to geography & food source. Civilizations & human productivity is tied to that surplus that builds with the cultivation & storage around the great river systems. Is it intelligent design that humans congregated around the great rivers & fertile lands or by the coastal areas of the world where food was plentiful?
Here more specialized skills arose, with that storage of grains thru agriculture there was the essential surplus energy for man to become more expeditious, you have the rise of civilizations like the Egyptian that had more history than the western world has. There was the earlier Mohenjo Daro Indus valley civilization that they find few weapons of war, prolly existing peacfully until swept down on & conquered. |
