Out of Africa?

I cannot prove it, by I sometimes "feel" that history indeed just runs in cycles - cycles spanning eons and being much longer than what we could imagine possible.

But then I think the whole universe cannot be like our senses tell us it is. Because that only tells us how our senses work, how our brains sorts all that into its own order, and we cannot really know about what and how things really are. For that we would need to overcome ourselves, or better: our selfs.

We do not find realities, maybe, not ophysical realities, and not historical ones (and the latter are not real and are just imaginatiosn anyway). We invent our idea of how things are - or have been.

And why not, as long as pool billiard nevertheless works according to Newtonian physics. I mean, they work well enough for that purpose.
