Its interesting to speculate
Suppose man had stayed in africa rather than migrate to Europe and Asia. When the European and Asian explorers started visiting africa, they found things primitive. However, this primitive lifestyle worked. It worked wonderfully well, according to the study I've done.
We can argue that had man stayed in Africa then the development of higher intelligence would have stopped just as the shark's has. In which case, if humans were to wipe themselves out, we need to blame whatever it was that caused the earliest people to migrate!
On a similar but different note, I wish I knew just what made our brains work differently to those of the great apes.. just to see where the difference lies!
