Shoes maketh man
&gt; emerging evidence suggests that we may have worn shoes as early as the Middle Stone Age (75 000 – 150 000 years ago)<p>Crazy that humans have been around for at least 10x as long as the oldest written history. What were we up to during those times? What cultures emerged, grew to relative dominance, but died out? Did we ever get close to the early beginnings of history via the formation of cities, agriculture far earlier than actually happened?<p>It&#x27;s also nuts just how fast technological progress is going. for 99.9% of human existence, you died in more or less the status quo you were born into. Now, the world is unrecognizable to how it was 20 years ago.
