ancient civilisations and empires in history

let's list 'em.
off the top of my head, there's ancient greece (philosophy! sculpture! tragedy!), rome (gladiators), the byzantine empire/constantinople (mosaics, awesome architecture), ancient india (uh.. elephants?), ancient egypt (pyramids and papyrus!) .. ancient china (vases, funny hats and robes), feudal japan (ninjas)

am I missing any? add please.

This is (like the post before it) is the equivalent of "NO U". How  about this: You respond to the following:

1. "Moderning thinking didn't just pop up once people left Africa. It's innate, it was there already."

The above is self-evident. It's a statement that has the fact that mankind was even able to survive in the subhara that supports it. You use terms "Modern thinking" and "civilization" in a way to indicate that sub-saharn africans lacks these things. The fact of the matter is- that if that were actually true- you and I wouldn't be here. Now what is so fucking hard to admit about that?

2. "Genetically speaking humankind has not changed one bit since we've come out of Africa, therefore you have absolutely no proof and no reason to believe that "modern thinking" isn't an innate human response or something that naturally occurs regardless of race or environmental stimuli."

Again, given what we know (that's called: knowledge) about human genetics it is still proposerous to think that "modern thinking" or the ability to produce "civilization" was beyond the capcity of the sub saharan african. This are things that are written in text books, and the numerous of .edus that were linked in race thread. Or do you want to run "sub-saharan african civilizations" through google?

Just respond. Stop bullshitting and respond with something that's countering what I'm saying or you fail.
