1) War - they wait until we're advanced enough to handle this, but let us have a nuclear bomb?
2) I don't believe any scientific evidence puts modern man at over 100k years old (closer to like 10k?).
Plus, random interspersed technological leaps is EXACTLY what I would expect to happen where that rare genius is born into a situation where he/she sees the problem and opportunity AND has the ability to change it.
If I went back 100 years, even with the idea and basic understanding of how computers work, I would have 0 chance of building one. I probably don't even know enough to give someone the idea of a blueprint. But maybe I do know enough to turn on the light bulb for someone who is capable, assuming I can find that person.
Homosapien is much older than 10k yo and there is plenty of evidence to support this. Human civilization is only around 10k yo.
