waves is correct, i couldnt find the post whom you quotes but i will add to WHY this phenomeon occurs. because after all if we have been genetically and physiologically the same human for the past 90k years then WHY all of a sudden are we so advanced?

sigh... i already explained why the technological explosions have occured but i will say it again. please read it so i dont feel like a dousche because its actually pretty interesting and very true. im not making this shit up.

HUMAN TECHNOLOGICAL EXPLOSION IS A DIRECT RESULT OF OUR ABILITY TO PROJECT COERSIVE THREAT. every time a new novel weapon is invented throughout history it was followed by an adaptive revolution followed by an adaptive stasis until the next better novel weapon was invented. WITH THE INVENTION OF THE NUCLEAR WEAPON AND SIMILIAR EXTREMELY EFFICIENT WEAPONS you have a huge unit of humans working together (GLOBALIZATION) and pooling their knowledge leading to huge technological leaps.
