TP, do you know of any quick learning flatworms that can help us with the looming
lack of employable that is ditching the stock market?

Rodents and amphibians will also do as long as they are polite and well behaved.
Even trilobites may do because I think they will just stand there
and take orders: an ideal employee,

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
capacity to learn.
