Excellent posting, where did you get this stuff?

50,000 years is enough time to figure out alot about how to live with the environment, including small details of which plants are good for fighting which sicknesses. Now we're told to go buy the Aussie's panadol or other pills as if a few years of western scientific experimentation is just so much more better than 50,000 years of our own trial by error experimentation.

Maybe someone out there has a reason
why short term experimentation of western scientists automatically beats out what our ancestors did over a time more than 100,000 times greater?
