Civilization's Fragile Continuity
The discovery of ancient human artifacts, potentially dating back tens of thousands of years, challenges the notion of a linear progression of civilization. It suggests that significant disruptions, such as asteroid impacts, may have caused collapses in human societies, leading to periods of rebuilding. There is a possibility that disaster could strike again, potentially reverting humanity to a primitive state. This serves as a reminder of the inherent fragility of civilization and the unpredictable forces that could dismantle modern advances, reinforcing the idea that, should such catastrophes occur, humanity might have to rely on basic survival and primitive tools.
