The wheel part isn't interesting everyone used them but without the axis it doesn't count, native American toys for example don't count. To make use of the wheel you need paved roads and a beast of burden.
These are countries like say Japan who new about the wheel but it never took off until Europeans got their because they saw no need for it.

The wheel by itself isn’t even impressive
To make even a chariot you need precision metallurgy. If you only have a cirlcle on a stick, like a cartoon wheel, it wont handle wood on wood friction

He's a retard that saw a cartoon somewhere and doesn't realize that you need fairly sophisticated mathematics that he learned in grade school to both manufacture and to use a wheel as anything more than a novelty item.

No. You're the joke, mutt.

But I'll have mercy and explain it to you. My good deed before Allah for today:

The wheel is a system technology. There is no need and no place for a wheel before an entire wheeled transport logistics system can carry itself economically. In direct competition with pack animals like oxen, camels, llamas.
Some of the requirements:
1. A need for dedicated bulk cargo or heavy cargo logistics. That means organized settlements with high population density. Aka cities. A relatively new phenomenon in human history. The rural subsistence dirt farmer has no need for wheels.
2. Artificially flattened and cleaned land without any obstacles. Humans and pack animals can go anywhere. Wheels cannot. You have to do a lot of digging and moving dirt first before the wheel can even start to compete.
3. You need skilled carpenters who can make axles and wheels that are long-lasting enough to actually be competitive.
4. You need sufficiently strong domesticated animals that can pull the cart. Building roads and all that for human-pulled carts is pointless.

So no, the caveman 150000 years ago had no use for a wheel. He carried what he needed. Through difficult terrain. He had no concept of roads.
>>
>>533757687
You're underestimating how difficult it is for a large group uneducated people to get passed survival mode without killing each other or succumbing to disease. I know how silicon cpus work and understand transistor gates, but if you send me to 12,000 B.C. and I'm sure as fuck not building a microprocessor, teach them how to mine iron and mix with carbon to make steel? Sure. How to boil water to kill bacteria? Sure. But the mass amount of technological build up came from a mass surplus of food allowing enough people to have the freedom to think, observe, study, and develop.

Sure, but why would your average hunter-gatherer society bother with that train of logic to begin with? They had a sustainable system where they would deplete an area's resources and move on to the next place until eventually cycling back to find the resources replenished themselves.

I don't doubt the idea of planting seeds occurred to them. Or maybe they even did so to help facilitate the replenishment of resources.
Proper agriculture, where you set up and tend a farm from sew to harvest, requires already having a stable location to set up shop. So it's a catch-22 that most societies would not consider worth the tradeoff. You can't migrate while tending a farm. You can't tend the farm if you're not acquiring food as you wait for the crops to grow. So actually making the first farm required a LOT of forward thinking and dumb fucking luck that you lived somewhere where this was even feasible. All to solve a problem they didn't even recognize as a problem.

yes so the official history presents a contradiction. it says it took 6000 years to go from the stone age to today, but it also says it took 300,000 years to invent agriculture, writing, the wheel, houses.

so it's not adding up is it? without an adequate explanation this doesn't make sense. and the explanation in my opinion are inadequate to explain away the contradiction.

earth's climate in its default state is considerably more harsh and constantly shifting. we exist in a lull period of an ice cage that consequentially began around the same time civilization did. I do wonder about the long timeframe itself, I think its a mix of carbon dating becoming extremely unreliable after a certain point, and the simple fact that humanity didnt have any significant population numbers until the ice age calmed down.
>>
>>533758523
for 300,000 years though nobody decided to take the seed planting idea to its logical conclusion? nobody, really, for 300,000? thats a long fucking time. you don't even need a full year in one spot, a single season, migrating animals often stay in one fertile area for a season. and when the plants have grown now you have a massive harvest, store the grains, survive the winter.

by your logic agriculture should have never happened at all? and yet it did, for some reason. why not sooner? why did that reason not happen sooner or why did it happen at all? why arent we still hunter gatherers?

Yes. Keep thinking tiger, you can figure it out
>>
>>533758526
No, there have been technological advances before. So slowly that archaeologists named entire cultures after just one minor step.

Try making good stone tools. Try making a good hunting bow. Try processing a raw animal hide into a good jacket. Try making useful medicine from the wild plants in your forest. Try making a container that can hold enough clean water for a day or three. Try keeping your fire burning while traveling in a rainstorm. None of those challenges is trivial. They all have been mastered long before civilization became a thing.

the only way to buy into any longer window is to consider there's a roughly 6000 year reset cycle concluding with total global cataclysm but havent seen enough evidence to subscribe to it (which could be indicative of the scope and scale of such a theoretical cataclysm). in general everything about this realm, in its current state, archaeologically, geologically, with its current flora and fauna suggests appx 6000 years
>>
>>533758693
By my logic, a few hundred thousand years is about an appropriate time frame for the invention of agriculture.
Agriculture was feasible and necessary to start up under a very precise set of conditions. It's a function of high population density, some forward thinking people willing to dedicate a lot of land and labor for dubious payoff, a proper location, and shifting climate patterns.

There is no contradiction here. You're just stupid.

ok that's fair
so the ice age was preventing the conditions to occur in which agriculture would have made sense to pursue. that makes more sense.

but still, humans are not always going to do the thing that makes the most sense. still seems odd that not even one tribe suffered through the early days of agriculture to get through to to the other side... for 300,000 years. just because hunter gathering was the wiser move back then until the end of the ice age changed the conditions.

Your personal incredulity isn't realky an argument here.
Matbe some made an attempt but failed. Or maybe this whole concept really is more complicated than you're giving it credit for.

A lot of shit that seems obvious to you is really a result of you veing brought up in a civilized society with a basic educational system which was built on the back of thousands of years of innovation.
Even basic logic wasn't formalized until the Greeks. Differentiating fact from opinion is something children need to be explicitly taught. Hell, the concept of "counting" requires a level of abstraction that the average person probably wouldn't be able to develop independently.

Meanwhile, the global human population was quite small for the majority of our existence, owing to a lack of civilization, so there was less labor and brainpower to go around.

differentiating fact from opinion is something most people still can't do today, so i'll give you that.

and, though its not an argument, i'll say it again anyways. i just have a hard time picturing everyone being a stupid retard that cant even think or count for 300,000 years. it doesnt seem likely to me. i know thats not an argument but neither is my dick, which you can suck

Counting requires a concept of enumeration. It's a lot harder than you're giving it credit for, especially when compared to more visceral concepts like "a lot," "enough," "too much," "not enough," etc.
I'm not saying they're "stupid." I'm saying that things you think are simple only seem that way because you're educated, surrounded by educated people, exposed to media made by educated people, and exist in a society which demands a base-level education to continue existing.

Wheel is useless without groundwork to support it usage. In uneven, rough terrain it;s easier to carry things than use wheeled transport, and that is using modern empty wheels with rubber tires. Trying to use OP pic full stone wheel without road is insanity.

>>533756767
Goalposts are flying all over this thread, so I don't know where the hell to put mine. We can only reasonably look for evidence of wheels in places that were above water both now and at the end of the last Ice Age. However, people like to live on coasts, and most of that period is characterized by the ocean swallowing the coast, people packing up and moving inland a bit, then the coast being swallowed again; repeat for thousands of fucking years. There wasn't a lot of sitting around building stable monuments and thinking up new technologies because the ocean would just fucking swallow them. There was no way for the people to know when the fuck it would stop, and all the Great Flood myths show they couldn't comprehend it, anyway. We can assume that there was a stable period between the last two ice ages, which gave rise to probably several advanced civilizations, but what existed before the Pleistocene would have been ground to dust by ice sheets and glaciers, and everything after is on the ocean floor. What can survive thousands of years of being submerged in saltwater, that is.

wood would be a more obvious choice due to lightness. also not all terrain is rough. there are long stretches of flat land. really the barrier is settlement, as in people in one area long enough to justify stopping anywhere to build it and use it. which means planting seeds in the ground which itself is a pretty obvious concept, though that is up for debate

Once again you are relying on abstractions you were raised on. "How many" wouldn't even be a thing without the concept of a number. The thought process would be more like direct comparison and evaluating inequalities.
"Is this much meat enough for our tribe?" "Do we feast after this hunt or ration?"
Like obviously they would have a concept of 1 vs 2. But the systematic mapping of a tangible object to an abstract notion and then generalizing the group as having a "value" isn't as obvious as you may think, utility or no.

The oldest known tally stick used for counting is about 40,000 years old.

Enumeration isn't that hard. You just need some sort of reason to have it.
Lions count the roars of rival prides to estimate numbers based odds before engaging in fights. There are fish that can count. Most of it is simple greater than or less than logic, but it's always as complex as it needs to be for the tasks required. There are insects that can keep exact numeration of landmarks and some that count their own steps into the thousands to navigate. Bees communicate routes by direction and number of landmarks, so they're capable of exact enumeration and have body language based 'words' for numbers the same way we say one or two.

thats proving my point, not yours. thats the oldest one we found, but they're made out of wood and dont preserve well. if we could count 40,000 years ago then theres no reason we couldnt count 300,000 years ago when we were at the same tech level. and even assuming we didnt learn how to count until 40,000 years old, a random assumption based on assuming counting to 4 requires "relying on abstractions you were raised on", it still took 34,000 years to develop agriculture after we were already clever enough to count well enough that we needed records and receipts of numbers

besides whats stopping the problem from re-emerging in the future? we need the cultural change now to immunize ourselves and then move forward. doing a lengthy generations long collapse and rebuild side quest doesnt help

We weren't exactly "at the same tech level" 40,000 years ago vs 300,000 years ago. Incremental improvements to stone and wooden tools was still happening. Improved methods of leathercraft, bone working, basket weaving, etc.

I think the idea of perfect refinement is a modern (within the last 10000 years I mean) concept. A spikey stick was sharp enough if it killed, a rock heavy enough if it crushed. The idea of refining an object to perfection required a level of attention and intent that exceeded it's immediate use. Objects like the wheel are so abstract according to their immediate use (in relation to their origin form) that it can be fair to assume that a certain level of time/resource equity was needed in order to justify the pursuit of perfect refinement.

This.
The majority of people do not understand that life fucking SUCKS outside of society.
It is NOT easy, it is filled with death and suffering.
There's a reason most of humanity, despite our cognitive superiority, was stuck at under a billion for the longest time, wilderness can't sustain much more.
People were dying all the time from trivial shit.
Chipped tooth? Enjoy your eventual death in a few years from an infection after you ate that raw ferret meat.
It's only when we started to cook things that we really took off as a species. The massive increase in energy efficient food sources caused huge changes, and over the generations the body adapted to use the excess energy we were consuming. The same thing will happen now post-industrialization with all the high-sugar foods people are eating. A few generations down the line those diets will have a major impact, but it sure sucks for everyone right now who are suffering with lethargy and diabeetus.

It's also why advances exploded since industrialization, and are still going.
5 years ago you'd never hear anyone saying we'd have decently useful AI like we do now.
Before then it was a bit of a meme.
Transformers being used for AI was the last thing anyone expected, it was made to help translate better by changing the attention model for translation, then someone was like "huh, turning this around could be interesting" and bham, suddenly we had LLMs in a couple years.
But as I said before, it sure sucks for the people now who are being displaced in jobs, just like when we first started automating factories a century ago.

Technological progress isn't an inherent human motivation. It was relatively stagnant for tens of thousands of years because humans were able to sustain themselves fine in their respective environments with incremental improvements and population density was too low to facilitate quick knowledge transfer when technology did improve.
It's only when people started settling AND modifying their environment that technological innovation exploded. Most early civilizations' innovations, like the wheel or writing, are useless in an environment where population density is low and the environment isn't heavily modified. Hell, they're not even useful in some dense, heavily modified environments; the civilizations in the americas were very complex yet hadn't developed the wheel because certain factors like terrain and absence of beasts of burden made them less useful.

I think people keep forgetting that modern man came out of Africa. NIGGERS. They're stil there. They still use pre stone age technology.

You look at Africans today and they're all 70 IQ basic retards. This was the standard for god knows how long until during the last ice age was and then we fucked neanderthals.

Asians have the most Neatherthal DNA at 1.5 - 2.5% while whites go 1.5~2.1%

This obviously did something to our brains that was very beneficial because Sub Saharan niggers and Australian Niggers have 0 to 0,03%

So all these assumptions that our nigger ancestors were the same as we are today is pure cope.

You also all seem to ignore Australia niggers and sub saharan niggers who existed for a near god damn eternity same as everyone else and made near zero cultural progress.

Why do all the nigger woman still carry pots of water on their head instead of making wheeled vehicles that the entire village could fill up with extremely basic pump technology. 10 niggers could bring back a ton of water or 1000kg. Or they can each carry in some stupid clay cup 2L on their head and walk for 1 hour to get to the village.

Interestingly this is where they lived. They were building wooden posts out in a riverbed. Earliest evidence of permanent buildings for either docks or huts on stilts. Right now the scientists are insisting that the high starch diet is just from finding it in a tropical environment but I am not buying it. Nowhere else in the world were humans at the time eating that much starch plus these people likely stayed in the same place all year long. Probably had plentily of fish to eat and antelopes that wandered by for meat.

I also want to remind everyone that Nigeria looks exactly like any other famous Ancient civilisaiton hotspot.

India, Middle East, Egypt, Italy, Persia, China, Siam.

Yet in the entire history of all of Humanity the blacks never developed a real civilization.

They never developed their own writing system, it wasn't until the Arabs came and handed them Arabic and Islam that they inherited a real religion and real script.

The Songhai Empire never evolved beyond Ancient Egypt. In many ways they were actually backwards.

They never farmed salt via evaporation in one of the hottest places on Earth.
They used dried mudbrick while having an abundance of wood fuel. They never fired clay to make bricks.

Do you know how backwards they were?

Every single group of people developed their own alphabet based on the materials they had and what uses it had.

Cuniform was pressed into clay it was an administrative language.

Egyptian hieroglyphs developed chiseled monumental inscription then got adapted into modern usage by evolving into Proto-Sinaitic that then evolved into Phoenician alphabet and that evolved into every European Script ever from Latin, Greek, Gladioli, Cyrilic. It also spread east and developed into Brahmi then Brahmic scripts and then evolved basically all the SEA and Indian scripts becoming more round and cursive, it's also believed Arabic is one of these India derived round scripts unlike the angular ones of Europe.

Chinese Like Egyptian started as a monumental inscription script that later evolved into Seal Script and then Into Regular Script as paper production started around 0 AD. Basically Chinese as we know it.
