A Pot Of History.

Prologia:  'Axis of Dyslexia.'

  Long before 'The Silk Road' was opened,long journeys on foot were hard on the skin. And it wasn't until the 'Sacking of The Goths' was introduced, that traders from The Orient had much soft ground to stand on.
Being limited, for the most part, to trading in such commodities as assault and spaces.
In fact, we have to go much further back to really see what was going on. A truism which inevitably leads us to peer into the mists of 'The Cthonic,' in the light of which, it goes without saying, that the alluvial planes would have to arrive much later.
This, as we now know, was a period consisting predominantly of huthering and ganting peoples. Nomadic bands roamed the savannas, in constant search for whatever gig might be available to them.

Since we know that , as a species of hominids, they were long out of their tree,as evidenced by a few outstanding fossil remains, indicating clearly they were already at the stage of burying their dead, standing up.  Mound builders notwithstanding.

Other noteworthy characteristics are in evidence, such as their use of stones for throwing at animals, in hopes of eventually making a direct hit.  Along with their dual use in the building of heavily fortified circular structures.  Built specifically for rapid ease of access when they missed, as was undoubtedly often the case.
This accounts for the large areas of desertification around most archeological sites.

It wasn't long however, before this practice was all but completely abandoned, in favour of subsisting primarily, for a while at least, on a diet of roots of whatever they could pull up between them.
A salient factor and one which firmly establishes them  as being one of the prime root races.

It is also true to surmise, that these early risers were not the only bands on the scene competing for a hit. There are other indicators extrapolated from finds in such far-flung geographical locations,which were much later to become known as, for example,
Moronia, Dyslexia, Myopia, and to the east of the Urals, Urinia, and much later, present day Dystopia.

Almost half of the scholars in the field are unanimous in concluding that there was another strain of early hominids already proficient in the use of fire, the main use of which, was to burn the ends of sticks, or shall we say staffs, which were then hardened in water to make a point. But i for one wouldn't wish to put too fine a point on it.

These were the Stick People, and there is much evidence to support the notion that there was a high degree of cooperation or collaborative  effort which took place between the separate factions, i.e. the otherwise semi-reclusive fortress dwellers.
Even going so far as to involve actual partnership and bonding between the respective genders.

Indeed, this may have been the true genesis of the sling-shot and possibly the catapult, if only in rudimentary form.  As the Stick People undoubtedly had more successful access to an abundance of sinuous material , for the most part obtained from the bodies, and skin of rabbits and snakes, and possibly fish entrails.

It was only later, when the glaciers retreated for somewhere more cool that there was a corresponding abundance of games.
Notwithstanding that the Pre-Cambrian Shelf had already been pretty much depleted, most likely by 'marauding hordes from the north', for want of a more ethnologically precise terminology.

As other learned researchers (sic.ibid: et al.) have noted, it wasn't until 'The Upper-Psychotropic Era' ( an admittedly relatively high culture for such backward peoples)  that a few seminal forerunners were able to get themselves somewhat straightened out sufficiently as to chart the first heroic impetus for a course that would ultimately blossom into the genetic prototype ontogenetically speaking, of advanced modern man,' Homo-Dyslexis.'

But a mysterious enigma hangs over our story at this stage. One that was to have serious consequences in our dramatic ascent to the precarious pinnacle on which we were to find ourselves.

This, as most scholars will attest to, is something of a thorny subject, laden with more than a little paradox, and one i shall have to return to later by a somewhat different route.

Save to say, we are on our way. After having at the said juncture in question, apparently already begun to successfully extricate ourselves as a collective and undeniably promising species, from what can only be called 'the primordial slime.'

But the question remains, and looms somewhat obliquely, begging to be answered, and will have to be so dealt with sooner or later lest the whole edifice collapses.   
Baldly stated thus: 'Did we overshoot the mark !??'
