Noisy thoughts

We are hardly born before we depart. Is life a short trip to a more lasting life? Or does it really matter why we are here. Are we our own invention? After all we have roamed the earth for millions of years before we’ve discovered that it pays to build a roof just few thousands year ago. We were then just like all other animals except being hairless and with weaker limbs.

What have really triggered all this so called human culture? Genetically speaking we are little different from those who lived quarter of million years ago. Most of what we refer to as history only existed less than 10,000 years ago. Is this human culture a product of the retreat of the last ice age, and consequently may disappear if another one creeps back?
