Dear Crossfitter,
Could you please tell us what is your flight experience? Where do you get conclusion?
[..]...dealing with a primitive form of life on earth.
Did you ever study history?
As somebody already said, we had the Senate and the Coliseum. We invented military tactics that are still used nowdays.....while you were dancing around fires.
And probably planes wouldn't fly without technologies invented by italians. eg. battery - Volta, radio - Marconi.
