ShardPhoenix,

I've solved the puzzle of reflection in AI that long stumped ... er certain other people... for so long. I will post a short abstract of my solution in next month's Open Thread, publically proving once and for all that *my* Reflection trumps *his* IQ. Robin, that next post in the Open Thread will be my last on this blog - promise ;)

The traditional timeline looks something like this:

* Hunting & Gathering;* Herding 15,000 BC;* Agricultre 10,000 BC;* Urban 8000 BC - cities form;

Agriculture and group living seem fairly strongly associated with each other. Living in groups allowed humans to specialise - and move away from the shaman-hunter-gatherer-chief model into one where there were many different roles in society.
