it would make sense to pick some date, back to some idea of recorded history, and start there, say 10, 20, or 30,000 years ago. it would help to put things in a historical context.

not likely to happen, but it would be a good idea.

as far as sparse records, and sudden appearances of written tablets, it seems to me this could be an example of chaotic bifurcation; the rapid development or spread of an idea. "springing full-blown" as it were... chaos "theory" offers some interesting insight in to natural processes.

sorry, rambling a bit...
