I don't believe you even said that, the lists are virtually endless.
Stare with Puma Punka, then look at Göbekli Tepe
Puma Punku's oldest layer dates to the 6th century. It postdates the fall of the Roman Empire. That hardly qualifies it as some 'antediluvian' civilization.
Göbekli Tepe was built on the eve of the first neolithic societies in the Levant. It is a part of the timeline of the development of the first ancient civilizations of the Middle East. Furthermore, apart from its monumental scale and the organization required to build such a site, the preponderance of evidence is that the culture responsible for it relied primarily on hunting and gathering.
And BTW Göbekli Tepe was buried intentionally leaving lots of organic material for all kinds of modern dating techniques. only 5% is evacuated right now.
You seem to be totally unaware of the world around you
And perhaps you could explain how people in the 6th century could make Puma Punka by banging rocks together. 6th century is not even a suggested date. S America is full of sites that pre-date all history.
And BTW Göbekli Tepe is 12,500 years old and was buried when Judeo/Christianity was invented, explaining why a huge civilization right in their backyard was never mentioned in the bible.
Why are people on CD to lazy to look things up themselves?
People making a claim should back up their own claims, not expect anyone to go and do it for them. The laziness lies with the people refusing to do so, not with the people refusing to do it for them.
I can certainly see how people would read more into the "shrinking brain" concept then is warranted however. It was not the shrinking brain part I was asking you for "source" on, I am well education in neuro-science and did not need reference to this from you. The source I was looking for was the claim you were making off the back of this data that we are "devolving" and "getting more ingnorant".
A decrease in brain size alone is not enough to leap to this conclusion. Our Smart Phones are getting smaller, but more powerful and functional and faster. Size does not directly related to complexity, intelligence or utility. So it was THAT part I was asking you to substantiate, not the brain size point.
And what does an agricultural revolution have to do with machining granite blocks.
Drilling holes in them, and making perfect, measured, polished cuts.
We are speaking of advanced tech, not farming.
