[QUOTE="Original, post: 207421, member: 14400"] Sir Forgive me for the late response, didn't seem to get the usual alert on my email - sorry ! ..yeah, there is evidence of the modern human to have walked around 200,000 years ago, but [B]abstract thinking[/B] ? hmm ! that's not that old. Until recently, the accepted view has been that our ancestors underwent a "creative explosion" around 30,000 to 40,000 years ago, when we suddenly began to think abstractly. This idea is supported by the plethora of stunning cave paintings, like those at Chauvet. Immortality of the soul came with the later civilisations of the Sanskrit family. Hinduism, together with the Greeks, Romans and a wee bit of the Scandinavians form part of the Sanskrit family. Reincarnation is not an invention per se but rather, yes, as you've correctly observed, a conceptual tool which developed over time, just like chairs and a tables came out of the wood from the trees, so did the theory of reincarnation emerged from an ideological thought process of the ancient Sanskrit family. Nanak modified the theory of reincarnation to the point of [B]"no return"[/B] and gave us an eternal life by exiting the wheel of the 84. I'm sure Chaz has the manual, if you're interested, ha ! As for gravity, its always been there. Sir Newton harnessed it if you like and modified it to pass it on to Einstein to give us the general theory of relativity. ..pass ? ..yeah, pretty much like Zombies coz thinking faculties, inventions, discoveries and the rest hadn't kicked in as yet. ...does a 2 year old know or can it know the science of reproduction? No ! Similarly, we couldn't have conceived such a notion.

All modern Europeans carry the genetic signatures of three distinct groups that migrated into Europe between 45,000 and 4500 years ago: the hunter-gatherers, Neolithic farmers and Yamnaya. All this tells us that an intrepid group of [I]Homo sapiens[/I] must have left the Middle East early on, making it to Siberia more than 24,000 years ago.
