I see what you mean. With long life spans and normal procreation perhaps
the population was quite high. I forget the numbers but someone once
postulated a theory as to numbers.
Also how about this thought. With each person having the potential to
completely master and practice a trade for 50 years everyone had the
potential to master everything. The only reason Leonardo Davinci did not
fly a helicopter is because he lacked an adequate power source. He did
design one though. If the Pre-deluvians found a source of power no
telling what they may have done, flight, space ships etc.
