@Bloodborn Not really equally if some are better than others.
@Model I'd have preferred charcoal or sut.
but how do you explain Ezkimos and American Indians - prepared for winter but never achjieved western levels
too wintery
Eh....
not enough resources
Have you heard of the Five Civilized Tribes?
always winter
not in the US - there are seasons here. american indians did prepare
There /was/ civilization among Native Americans
Didn't they mostly live in the desert and jungles?
Look at the Meso-Americans...
The Aztecs, Inca, and Mayans
true
@TheSlavPill Native Indians, yes.
their advancement was hindered by the jungle
why invent the wheel if you can't drive it anywhere
Then you have the 'Mound Builders' that had a city along the Mississippi.
Then that vanished before Europeans arrived.
most natives died even before whitey came there
they had huge wars and they actually caused a mini ice age with the amount of trees they cut
Uhhh...
a plague wiped most of them out even before blankets
But it still begs the question what is it unique to western culture, scientific, math, technology that propelled forward
White people won a lot of lotteries so to speak
evolutionary one, and later technological
gunpowder came from china, but when it came to us
we perfected it
because we were competitive
i mean europe wasn't really united then
constant wars
the need to get a technological edge
allowed us to perfect guns
and then put them on boats etc
conquer the world
yes yes and Mezos had their own wars and perfection of weapons...
so........
I mean britain conquered china just by sailing a boat through a river
no one had ship cannons then
well no silk road linked china to the americas
