Ever since man has become bipedal we have strived to piss off high points. Whomst are you to deny us the ways of our forefathers?
It is not a conquest of mankind but of individuals.
They had decks on their houses 1mil years ago?
I mean, yeah? Early homo (erectus, habilis) were known for building things with natural materials, so it's not inconcievable that they built huts and had decks for their huts.

Yeah sorry not finding any evidence of that.
Yeah. I definitely said "multi-story" didn't I? Curse my selective amnesia.
I guess it's completely inconceivable that our tool wielding ancestors felled trees and built huts raised from the forest floor. Inconceivable.

They actually sorta kinda have… a LOT. The whole transition to being farmers and stuff? Not only that, though, lots of stuff has been going on in and around our nuclei.
