Umm... forgive me for being rude, but I just have to ask this question...

Why on earth would you even start this thread if you aren't ready to provide anything yet? It just doesn't make sense to me that you would post something before you even have the finished product. It's not as though this is some groundbreaking story or revelation, and you're letting us know because its extremely urgent that you do so.

It's completely useless posts like these that really press my buttons!

Start the thread when you're actually FINISHED and ready to give us SOMETHING! You just wasted 5 minutes of my life between reading your post and responding to it. That's 5 minutes I'll never get back. You owe me 5 minutes now!!!!

Well, it seems that someone has already beat him to it. Here is the link, if anyone is interested.

African origins to now

Is your mapped out timeline the same as this or something similar? If so, it really isn't something worth noting if you don't have it yet. I found this one in just a few minutes. It's interesting, but I have to agree that you just waste everyone's time if you start a thread with nothing to say.

The origin of civilization, and why some early cultures 'took off' while others remained hunter-gatherers with no technology, is the central topic of the book
"Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond.



Of course, in his prologue he admits ignoring archaeological and historical evidence that does not fit his conclusions....

Well said my friend. If you aren't ready why in the world open this thread and write down 2 paragraphs?

i read it over, briefly

it looks well thought out, is supported by verifiable evidence

AND above all, it acknowledges that there might be discrepincies(sp?) in evidence.

i say it is over all a nice job.

Sorry no time will explain this weekend or next week.
