text: timetravel: interesting question? what would happen if, somehow, a group of homo sapiens (modern humans) were sent back in time with modern technology, say, back to the era of cavemen? if they had absolutely no contact with the early humans, would they evolve to a new form of humans like homo smarticus? would technology progress to new levels, would history be forever changed, keep in mind they wouldnt meet the other people of the time. serious question needs good answer.  need some info or thoughts to back up your conclusion. ponder away!!!    (sorry for such a long question) i agree with you.since the modern man would be aware of the root of various sciences, it would be much more easier & quicker for them to find things like light & all that.but i'm not sure about the "homo smarticus" .i mean unless some more people like eienstien & newton are born ,i think we'll be in the same level as of right now.but hey,yhat's just my opinion!maybe i'm so totally wrong.cheers!
