[QUOTE="Kid Charlemagne, post: 4071501, member: 93"] In the real world, the answer is probably "no," but in a fantasy world, I can imagine ways in which it could happen. If the elves are protected by natural defenses, or are remote enough, and if the area is rich enough in food resources, for example. That would allow them to spend part of the day hunting/gathering, and the rest building skills in things. The elves' long lives would then allow for deep knowledge skills to be developed. They could also develop if they manage to say safe for a period of time while developing their civilization, and then had things they could trade for food, which would give them the free time to become technologically and culturally advanced. In this case they might almost be like indigenous peoples in the modern world, who might have been somewhat "primitive" from a human viewpoint, but who then picked up the trappings of civilization very quickly and developed it from there.
