if you put 50 people on a deserted island....do you think they would evolved in the same fashion that we did after 2002 years?

yes
but with a third eye
but with a third eye
A system produced from the same initial conditions won't necessarily have the same self-organization, and thusly won't necessarily have the same output as prior ones.
Think of ideas, etc, as the output of a large self-organized thing: society and/or its constituent groupings are necessary, but how they are organized now is the result of chaotic, and thus largely unpredictable, forces.

so basically your saying it could go either way....
but I wanna hear what you think and why?
I couldn't even grasp the concept of making something from nothing, so i'd probably die if I was alone.
I think i've become too reliant on machines.

big enough for a colony of a couple hundred people
no
maybe some wild cats...
^^^ That is to say, the system organizes as a whole, but the constituent components (each person) are moving separate ways...
From far, far, far away, and in retrospect, is there a pattern, not from close, close up. Like the motion of smoke in almost still air... each smoke particle does its own things, but effects the others in ways that make a cloud of smoke form patterns...

no, they have nothing, just themselves and the island, which would have trees, and sand, and maybe some mountains...
that's the question, do you think they could evolve in such a fashion where they WOULD have fabric and sewing machines

so how many people?
im sure at one time there was less than 50 people per square mile on this planet....
It just seems to me that we've evolved at an alarming rate as a human race, I was thinking about this topic while learning about the history computers in my computer science class
Aren't we also forgetting the it didn't take 2002 years for humankind to have wars, sewing machines and Internet, for example? Post-modern society is a result of the evolution or development of mankind that goes back millions of years.
What about the other centuries where man dwelled in caves, hunted for their food and built tools out of bone? I don't consider us to be the superior species in terms of our independence on Earth so there is no way 50 people on an island would survive 2002 years.
