Basically living memory is huge, and written memory is... huger. The ability to retain information across lifetimes outside of genetic memory is beyond remarkable, it's unheard of in the animal kingdom until the homo genus and similar offshoots. They think we've had fire for over a million years... and that trips me out more than anything, because judging by discoveries, it was probably around for longer than that. --- ...
