  How is this proof of that? They just found something that worked through trial and error.

        That's a relatively recent development in terms of systemizing knowledge discovery. Prior, people literally just mixed stuff together to see what happened.

      Non-human animals also find random things that work for whatever it is they're doing. Chimps eat a plant called Veronia that kills gut parasites. Does it mean chimps are smarter than humans and are also doctors?
