They actually explored that whole idea.
So I just had to throw that in there because it's a really interesting educational... How do we do something educational with ancient history?
The other thing I wanted to just flag is, so if we want to answer these big questions, because you can see we're talking about intercontinental questions.
We're looking for patterns across continents.
We're looking for patterns across hundreds of, you know, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years.

Which is that we have all this data, which we've been busily squirreling away for the last hundred years, and we've been asking questions as big as we could, but we could be asking bigger.
And a lot of what you're asking about goes to those really large questions of we need to understand at a civilizational scale, both in terms of Homo sapiens and in terms of Neanderthals and Denisovans, what were they doing?
