14. Technological leaps
The evolutionary jump from Cro-Magnon man (Homo sapiens) to modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiensis) is ridiculously short in evolutionary terms. It took us thousands and thousands of years just to learn how to use rocks as tools and shape them to suit our needs – we were clearly up the creek without a paddle and going nowhere fast. And then, within only the last 7,000 years, we suddenly created everything in the modern world: farming, machines, electricity, water and sewerage systems, language, art, architecture, medicine, complex chemistry, nuclear power, quantum physics, and all the rest of it. Many people believe that our rate of scientific and technological progress has been far too rapid to be natural, and just couldn’t have been possible without outside help.
While this might not prove we were brought here from somewhere else, it does provide significant evidence that there is somewhere else out there that we might have come from. And it looks as if the aliens who brought us here might be coming back from time to time to see how we’re getting on – and maybe to give us a bit of a nudge in the right direction. Either that, or the key to our rapid progress is encoded in our genetic memories – which I’ll cover later on.
