Hopefully I've achieved something unique and memorable what has never been seen before. This is a thread for my project 'Lost civilization'. If you are interested in this real 'lost world' I can suggest some books once I get home to my library.Seems like I haven't started a thread at all in here. There was, however, a rich world with its own music, culture, beliefs, and art that is now lost to us. This nice circular argumentation makes clear that in our current understanding, there could not have been a 'lost civilisation' building cathedrals and writing books, because there is no evidence for that. There was, apparantly, no need to develop all these things that you might call 'civilisation'. There was no need for grain storage, or for working together to irrigate cultivated fields. These include hunting big game, fishing, collecting wild plant resources etc. Rather, they had developed a succesful lifestyle adapted to their circumstances. Now, this does not mean that people back then were not 'civilised' or were 'backwards' or 'undeveloped'. A more concrete question would be 'do we have any evidence for from before the end of the last Ice Age?', to which the answer would be 'no'. You are explicitly asking a non-answerable question.

'Was it possible that.?' It also explicitly says that your 'civilisation' is 'lost', which must mean there is no evidence for it. Your question is about proving a negative. We have plenty of material evidence of life in those times, which suggests that people everywhere had a hunter-gatherer lifestyle.

This would not at all fit with what we do know about people during the last Ice Age. You are asking whether such things could also have existed before, but have disappeared. It is very widely accepted that agriculture, stone architecture, writing, states, metalworking etc. I am assuming be 'last ice age' you are referring to at least 16k BC because that is my understanding but I confess the last time I studied this was 40 years ago. IF I understand the working def'n of civilization that seems to be what it takes. OK that is fine but that has little to do with whether something could have existed many eons before and it was wiped out.Д¬an I ask a follow up that may put a finer point on my criticism? IS there anything about the brain capacity of man from 20k years BC that would have prevented him from writing stuff down delegating someone to watch the children and someone to go hunt and put a few boulders on top of one another? YOu say when the Ice Age ended 'we begin to see the rise of domestication' etc. I dont understand how you can say take a large an area as say: Africa, India indochina, mid east and maybe indonesia (possible places for early man) and a time period as long as say from 180k BC to 20K BC and definitively say that there was no time and place in that range that had a 'stable environment.' BettingerДў001 Was agriculture impossible during the Pleistocene but mandatory during the Holocene? A climate change hypothesis. Richerson, Peter J., Robert Boyd, and Robert L. A surplus of food could also support non-agriculturalists during the whole year which is one of the leading hypotheses on the rise of artisans in early cultures. With a surplus of food, even during a brief part of the year when you are not farming, one can dedicate the time to other activities such as construction. It is when the Ice Age ended that we begin to see the rise of domestication and sedentism. This inhibited people from being able to hunt or gather a large surplus and prevented them from domesticating plants and animals. You could have a few good years and then a decade of drought or cold temperatures. Before the Holocene the environment was erratic. From an environmental perspective, it isn't very plausible to have monumental building civilizations before the last Ice Age.
