i've just been thiniking lately about some pretty weird stuff .. like who decided to milk a cow?? or who decided to pick a plant and cook then eat the bulb (onion) coz it'll taste nice?? ... or who decided to cook meat?? who decided to ride horses?? who decided to get tobacco and smoke it?? why not lavender?? do you get what i mean?? humans used to be so much moe smarter and inquisitive .. if any one has more examples i'd love to hear them also ..
I once read a book called "Ancient Inventions" It is amazing what people knew and how clever they were. I don't think anyone actually knows the answers to the questions that you have but people have been inventing stuff since Adam and Eve, it is part of our nature to be creative.
We are still very inquisitive, but there are so many people now that we all collectively figured all the practical things out, and now we have lots of scientists and engineers figuring out the complicated stuff which is built on top of all that knowledge.
There is a tipping point were humans aquire enough knowledge about a particuar thing - then they start using everything they have learned, without really exlporing much further. At some point you have to pass all that knowledge down to the next generation, so its easier to keep it simple. Until the next big discovery comes along which is easy for everyone to access.
so agree..
even like reading and writing...all these things, like who really decided them?...and i so agree...people back then must have been a little more creative to figure these things out..of cource it took a long time for it to happen
Wow your deep :D
