Enjoy. 
My favorite is right off the bat at #10. I imagine it went something like this.
Hunter-Gatherer 1: You know, this isn't really fulfilling anymore. We hunt. We gather. We survive. Nothing ever changes.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: Yeah man, I know. It's a real drag, but what can we do about it?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: I've been giving that some thought lately. We'll settle down in one place and build a city.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: What's a city?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: It's a place with buildings and streets, and we won't have to leave unless we want to.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: Cool! What are buildings and streets?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: I haven't figured that part out yet. I'll get back with you later.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: Sounds good, but what will we do when the food runs out? Then we'll have to move on again, won't we?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: No, man, that's the best thing about it. We'll invent farming. We'll grow our own food, and we'll domesticate the animals instead of running around after them.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: Okay, but how are we going to build all this when we're just primitive hunter-gatherers living hand to mouth?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: Excellent question! We'll invent a written language, a system of mathematics, a codified system of law, and politics.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: WHAT?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: I'm tellin' ya, man. If we can get everyone together, we can do this. And when people see how good it is they won't even want to hunt and gather anymore.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: It sounds good, but don't we need a superior intelligence to guide us....some gods or aliens or fallen angels or something?
Hunter-Gatherer 1: Nah. We're evolved enough to do it ourselves. We'll make up our own gods, and we'll have kings that we'll worship as living descendants of those gods.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: I don't know. It seems pretty ambitious to me. Next thing you'll be telling me is that we'll figure out how to make clothes from plant fiber instead of wearing these skins.
Hunter-Gatherer 1: Dude, trust me. We can do this. After we invent mathematics everything will fall into line.
Hunter-Gatherer 2: Please explain mathematics to me.
Hunter-Gatherer 1: Okay.......I haven't worked that out yet, but when I do I'll get back with you ASAP.
