humans in prehistory actually had larger brains than we do. And I said, really? I hadn't really was not aware of that. So he sent me some articles. Yeah. 15% larger in some cases. And I'm going, okay, that does not seem to imply that they were dumber than us. Maybe they were smarter.

Maybe they weren't, but I mean, it certainly doesn't imply that they weren't as smart as us, but you figure if you look at the, since the scientific revolution, how far have we come since the days of Newton and Kepler and, you know. And how many generations is that?

Well, we can figure, say, three, four generations per cent. So 10, 12 generations, 15 maybe. I saw the old classic. Brian brought it up there.

I mean, I know that's, when you interviewed Graham, did you talk about that? A little bit, a little bit. but he's done a whole lot more research on that than I have.

Interesting. So, I mean, it's, you know, there's, you know, there's, you know, I've been very interested in, in mound culture and monumental earthwork culture in, in America. Um, And so Emory University has a... has a whole collection of state reports and things from the 1800, even going back to the 1700s.

But, but during the 19th century, there was a lot of excavations of these mounds going on before, you know, the, the, the earthworks in North America. Now there's probably not 10% of the original when the Europeans arrived, urbanization, agriculture, railroad building, highway building, all of that is pretty much erased all, but about 10%. Well, so I went through a lot of these.
