I have given this some thought in the past as well. The amazing thing, though is not the past 10,000 years, or even the past 1,000 - it's the past 100. Take a look at photos from 1900 and compare them with today. We have changed the earth so much in the past 100 years and come out with so many crazy technologies, and it only seems to be increasing in pace. Granted, roads were around prior to that, but not the hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of miles of paved roads put down in the last 100 years. Microwaves, Television, Telephones, The Internet ect are brand new - I am very curious to see what is going to happen in the next 100 years, I can't even begin to fathon the next 1,000.
Oh and as far as how humans were pretty much warring with each other all the time, that certainly may be true - but we have recently become much, much more effective at killing each other. Beating 100,000 people to death with a rock takes a helluva lot longer than dropping a Nuclear Bomb on a city...
