Just imagine 40,000 years ago when modern man ( and woman!) were travelling and spreading around the planet
....could either the neanderthals or even the developing early modern man possibly have conceived how we might look like and live today? The changes in brain capacity, intelligence, art, music, literature, space exploration, modern technology and on and on ?
Yet, our understandings of history, geology, evolution and of course technology allows us today to travel down that time line and imagine for ourselves what life might have been like for them all those millenium ago !
They couldn't have imagined us because simply we were in the future....and not yet happened
Likewise, the generations which will live ahead of us are in the future and perhaps beyond our own imaginings....but what a great idea to open our minds to the reality that life does change, does evolve and make some space to contemplate along what lines the future might draw humanity....along what lines would we like it to be drawn?
