Herstory According to Me: The myth of the stupid bone

I often find myself watching shows on the History Channel pertaining to lost civilizations. Like Atlantis did without a trace, or the Mayans without a real reason......ones that disappear without much left behind but bones. While in grid-lock traffic enjoying the rat race, I came upon the answer..........

Often, bones are found where a civilization once stood. Sometimes they are whole bodies assumed to have been a sacrifice, but more often than not they are just random bones. Never enough to create a full person, but enough to know they are human. Why are these bones there? These unorganized bones are the key.

The ancient civilizations knew something we clearly do not, every human has a "stupid bone." Never in the same place. Some people have them in their arm, leg, foot and strangely some have them in their mouth (more accurately their jaw). In an attempt to rid their civilization of all those stupid bones they extracted them from the individual displaying the associated stupid action. Those that never had anything intelligent to say had their jaw(s) extracted, those who could not walk without getting in someones way had their foot or leg bone extracted. Etc.

Rather than civilizations disappearing, in fact they merely created a race of people that had no stupid bone in them. Hence the inability to locate this new race.

These people do not exist. We did not learn from our past, in fact some with the stupid bone escaped the extrication and created new civilizations. They didn't document their actions in fear of retaliation. Some doomed to repeat themselves, others (such as ours now) thriving. How do we (us now) thrive when the stupid bone still exists in many individuals? Because a select few adapted and their genes mutated, eliminating the stupid bone. The rest are all too stupid to figure out the problem.
