It's only a paradox because we are just at the point where we can ask the question, having only had language and what is called thinking, civilization, and science for successively shorter periods of time. Today there is still no human culture based on scientific values and only 1 known to me with any [[Scientific Outlook on Development|program]] to have such a basing. So in a way even asking the question is presumptuous, given the current state of cultural development of the questioner. | It's only a paradox because we are just at the point where we can ask the question, having only had language and what is called thinking, civilization, and science for successively shorter periods of time.

I think the most cogent analogy is to the so-called uncontacted peoples, a few of which remain. It's only approximate of course because no human population has ever had a comparable isolation but from the point of view of the posing of the question/paradox it's pretty direct. | I think the most cogent analogy is to the so-called uncontacted peoples, a few of which remain.
