Evolution requires catastrophes that start to favor intelligence.
Evolution is a complex interaction with species and their environment.
The universe is full of planets that are more habitable than Earth. And maybe that is the reason why we have not found intelligent civilizations yet. In catastrophic situations, only species can adapt to that suddenly changing environment. Individuals must know how to find food in cases where the tropical environment suddenly changes to arctic and temperature decreases by tens of degrees. And this kind of thing formed species called Homo Sapiens.
Our species is the result of multiple catastrophes, and we are at the top of the evolution that continues. And maybe we are different than now after 30,000 years. In this case, I talk about the evolution chain that continues in our species.
20-year study says that Neanderthals were as intelligent as we are. The oldest wooden structure from 476,000 years ago caused an idea that could Neanderthals create the first "cities"? Those cities could be stable wooden structures, rather villages, than some cities.
There is one thing called the "Silurian hypothesis". That hypothesis is that there was some kind of civilization before Homo Sapiens. The basis of that hypothesis is in Plato's Atlantis. Atlantis is a mythic land. That vanished under the waves. Some people say that the "land that vanished under the waves" is meant as a symbol of memories. But then researchers found Zealandia the lost content.
And that caused questions about whether the first cities were on some island that detonated. If we think that somewhere were cities 3000 years ago, those cities must not have been very big that they could make an impression. They could be wooden structures that were in a stable place. So if we say that the camp that is not moving is some kind of city or village. That means the first stable villages could form before Neanderthals.
Our ancestors formed first cities or stable villages around the water sources. Requirements for that advance were stable water sources and food sources. Irrigation and domestic animals eliminated the need to hunt and wander.
There is one thing that we should realize. When we talk about evolution and things like the Silurian Hypothesis. We believed that Neanderthals were not intelligent. The 20-year research tells us that the Neanderthals were as intelligent as we are. That thing could explain the oldest wooden structure which is 476,000 years old. In this hypothesis, the Neanderthals created the oldest known wooden structures in the world. And that causes the question, where were civilization and the first cities formed?
