We know about the Neanderthals. There surely were other humanoid races around the globe before the Cro Magnons (with their "modern" neocortex brain) closed the "window of opportunity" for the other. At least no full-fledged Homo Sapiens suddenly emerged, there were hundred of thousands of years - millions possibly - before the said humanoid type had evolved (the biological level's internal evolution) and from then on scores of millennia before the social level emerged from the said Cro Magnon's biology (their intelligence IMO) By the way, I recently bought a history magazine that brought an article on the Greek thinkers and started with saying "The philosophers and scientists of antiquity were the first who tried to explain the world through reason and logical conclusions. From Thales to Archimedes they rejected their contemporary religious dogmas and shook their heads at anything not rational .(snip) .. laid down the fundaments for all scientific research and the modern Western culture and our time's democracy" (translated from Norwegian) I've never seen what happened in Greece presented so close to Pirsig's in ZAMM before.
