If you asked a Cro-Magnon man about its goals and desires it would likely mention mating and hunting. Sure, if the Cro-Magnon was smarter and knew more, it would maybe care how to turn a sphere inside out. And if it knew even more? Where does this line of reasoning lead us?

Why “it” rather than “he”? That's confusing, for me at least.
