Crazy to think: our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know approx. 6,000 years old, and industrialization started in the 1800s. So if just using the latter, we have been capable of articulated thought, reasoning and compassion for 6000 years. Two hundred years with what we would call modern technology; at least 3000 years around a knife that could cut the hand off a child.

And this is where we are today.
