We should not underestimate our little ones and their creativity, as we should not underestimate either cultures that we don't understand or that we know about thanks to history books, because being young or ancient doesn't mean to be primitive. For example, the Hittite civilisation that populated present-day Turkey between 2.000 and 1.200 B.C. was very refined, but even as the first Hittites arrived as nomad sin the area, long before they managed to build for themselves a large empire, there were small towns and cities in the region that already were churning out cultural products and ideas, and they also showed an interesting degree of development.
In fact, it is quite likely that the advanced Hittite culture learned a lot of them and absorbed part of their cultural and artistic heritage, assimilating it as its own: the archaeological remains of the legendary city of Kanesh, which was pre-Hittite, show that pottery had reached there by the time the Hittites arrived an advanced degree of evolution and it is also a fact that what the master potters of Kanesh achieved with clay has rarely been surpassed ever since then.
This indeed serves as a reminder that the young are not necessarily farther away than us from perfection.
