RE: What If There Was Another Intelligent Species Before Humans?
Sign of an intelligent species is technology. Archaelogists and geneticsists have confirmed now that all technology that exists on this planet started being developed only since the Neolithic period, which began around 12000 years before present. These technologies include farming, water management etc.
Also all of the other archaic humans such as the extinct Neanderthal etc have been found to only possess basic technologies like stone tool making etc.
So it is most likely that humans are the first and only truly intelligent species on this planet.
Yeah, the current technological journey began somewhere around 12000 years ago but I wonder if there existed another intelligent species millions of years ago. Because any proof of their technology would have vanished over the years.
