Hominids have been around for 10s of millions of years. The idea that the current civilisation that has combined knowledge of a few thousand years at best is better in every way than everything that has ever existed is bizarre. It should have been discarded soon after Christianity was seen as just another religion (as opposed to the ultimate Truth).

The only reason it is not is because it is maintained mainly by the big business interests which want to ban all the tribal and cultural knowledge to sell their overpriced short-term quick-fix as alternatives.
