&gt; We as a race progress very slowly even with massive amounts of exposure,

We don't have any other races to compare with, for all we know, we could
be the fastest learning species in the universe.  (petty mode here :)

&gt; before we figured out that we could stay in one place, put a seed in a
&gt; ground, and have something to eat if we cared for what came of it.   Most
&gt; of us simply take what others have done and add small, almost
&gt; insignificant, advances to it.  The brilliant few of us make somewhat
&gt; significant advances based on other's work.
&gt;
&gt; We need books, we need others, we need teachers.  No one has taught
&gt; themselves jack.

There's also the 'I've seen this done' factor.  I saw the village next
door build bows out of branches, I know it's possible and I will try, even
if it's going to kill me (I think I'm restating the above).

Now, how do you translate to mud?  (enuff of talk, let's see some
implementation! :)
