Re: About early man
Early humans of 200,000 years ago, had brains of less than half the size of modern humans. The great leap forward didn’t begin until approximately 50,000 years ago when Cro-Magnon appeared on the scene with a much larger brain. These people took tool making to an entirely different level than earlier man, allowing them to sew clothes, make fish hooks, construct houses, etc. They also produced cave paintings, musical instruments, and statues. Also, they began to travel, occupying areas like Australia, using watercraft that was unheard of with older humans.
Two things happened 100,000 to 50,000 years ago to allow a momentous leap forward. Brain size increased and the voice box was perfected, allowing for better communication.
