Why was the wheel not invented in Africa?

- Until a century or two ago, those parts of Africa which had no contact with Europe or the Middle East stagnated, and did not progress beyond the Stone Age. It was only when and where there was contact with those regions that progress was made and civilisation emerged.
Africa was at the forefront in developing and applying a monumental sense of entitlement.
YES THEY DO LOVE TO STEAL EVERYTHING WANT SOME ?? GLAD TO BE RID OF THEM !!
Nailed it
👏🏻😄

Australia’s way worse mate I’m from Queensland fairly royalist backwater sorta place but. The Aborigines here are absolutely phenomenal in regards to making up horseshit and entitlement. No hutts no roads no schools no army’s no clothes not even a farm their greatest achievement is a bunch of rocks thrown in the water as a fishtraps. They go around collecting enormous amounts of welfare their do this thing called welcome to country it’s ancient so ancient infact that Ernie dingo invented it in the 1970’s it’s horseshit and now they want to hand the parliament to them in this referendum. God help us all
my aunt lived in Namibia, . she paid her maid and gardener their salary on a monthly basis. both disappeared for a week , and retuned skint , having blown the money on drink and drugs. . they did not pay the rent or buy food for their kids. she tried paying them weekly , same result. so my aunt decided she would deducted the rent money , and food money and paid the rent for the month , delivered the food on a daily basis , so it could not be sold on for booze and paid the rest of their salary on a daily basis. that worked.. the only thing she did not do was wipe their arse..
Like little children.
…and there we have it.
I was there at that period and that is so true
I understand offer one a jazz cigarette now or three in an hour they'll take one now
She should have whipped their arse..
Aye and now we are importing this culture and work ethic into the civilised west what could possibly go wrong.
I'm seeing more of these people on Tyneside literally by the week. They are pouring them in!
It’s happening everywhere, I moved to the very edge of my city two years ago it’s changed already.
People need to check out the current mayor of New York. He is now moaning that they don't have the resources for all the new migrants. But he called New York a 'sanctuary city' so now they are turning up in their thousands. Schooling in New York has gone down the pan. The residents of New York have the same complaints as the citizens of the UK and Europe. But slightly different demographics. Many South Americans, many Venezuelans, who also seem to breed with their 1st cousins causing the same genetic issues as South Asian people.
The advertisement says every white woman must get a black man or else she’s racist.
They are literally arriving in their millions - and STILL we do nothing to stop it.
Most of us are even too afraid to complain about it for fear of being called 'racist'.

Are you suggesting that Africa culturally appropriated its way out of the stone age? Shocking, just shocking.

That is one of the great unanswered questions of our "scientific" age. Much the same thing happened in Australia, where the indigenous Aboriginal people didn't advance much at all in 40-50,000 years. When I was there I was amazed at how many Aussies believed the myth of the "noble savage," and think that the primitive Aboriginal culture was superior to the White civilization brought by English settlers. In fact, the Aboriginal peoples were almost constantly at war with each other, and their lives were in general "nasty, brutish and short."
They lived there 40,000 years and invented a stick.
About the only invention among the Abos were the various types of Boomerang. Surely used to kill one another in their various tiresome skirmishes.
The latest news out of one of the small towns was absolutely horrifying.

Because every time a prototype wheel was invented, the inventor would find the rest of the invention the next morning up on blocks and the wheels missing.
Thanks for making me laugh
LOL
They had no interest in the wheel until they saw 4 of them attached to a vehicle and left in the street to be easily taken and used to facilitate nefarious activities. Same with 2 wheeled vehicles for snatching from the hands of pedestrians. They could see no use for a wheel on its own.

The Africans did not invent the wheel because they were working on their own space programme.

Apparently this guy has never heard of Wakanda. The most technologically advanced society in the world is found in Africa… in comic books at least.
I have little doubt that if every machine were smashed, every wire were pulled, and every wheel were flattened on that continent, that in less than a decade, David Livingstone's great great grandchildren could set foot upon it to embrace an Africa indistinguishable from that which the good doctor had seen for himself; and the peoples of Africa happily back in their mud huts and dugout canoes as though the world had never turned at all.

Tyrone was having trouble in school. His teacher was always yelling at him, "You're driving me crazy, Tyrone, can’t you learn anything!!?" One day, Tyrone's mother came to school to check on how he was doing. The teacher told her honestly, that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that she had never seen such a stupid boy in her entire teaching career. The mom was so shocked at the feedback that she withdrew her son from school and moved out of Detroit, relocating to Cleveland. 25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an almost incurable cardiac disease. All the doctors strongly advised her to have open-heart surgery, which only one surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic could perform. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was remarkably successful. When she opened her eyes after the surgery, she saw a handsome young doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something, but quickly died. The doctor was shocked, wondering what went wrong so suddenly. Then he turned around and saw our
friend Tyrone, a janitor in the Clinic, who had unplugged the life-support equipment in order
to connect his vacuum cleaner. If you thought Tyrone had become a heart-surgeon, there is a
high likelihood that you voted for Obama..

While the wheel and animal-drawn wheeled transports were usable in the arid environment of the ancient Sahara,[4] and usable in the sparsely wooded, level, arid environment of the ancient Sahel,[5] the environment of the ancient Sudan may have made it rather impractical due to there being a lack of paved roads and seasonal rains.[4] The tse-tse fly belt is also distributed throughout the environment of tropical Africa, which is a region of increased risk for livestock and the spread of disease among livestock.[5] Additionally, compared to the drying environment of the ancient Sahara, use of canoes to travel and transport goods along local and regional waterways, such as Lake Chad, the Niger River, and the Senegal River, may have been a much more efficient means of travel and transport in the ancient Sudan.[4] In the Sudan, the early use of donkeys and horses, as well as the later use of camels, as beasts of burden and riding animals may have also been more suitable compared to their use as draft animals; consequently, their use in the Sudan may have spread rapidly, and their use may have also rapidly displaced the use of animal-drawn wheeled transports in the Sahara.
This is true. When white Europeans sailed to the African coast they had not even invented the sailing ship. They had to copy the African ones, sail back to |Europe, and then sail to the African coast to invent the only thing that white people ever invent and that is slavery. Again, they had to copy the African slavery before they could be the first ones to invent it, but by golly, they did it and were the first and only people to ever own slaves. All this is in one of the olisogs, olisoga, or whatever's books, probably.LOL!

I came from South Africa to Australia during 2008. I remember being so amazed at seeing every traffic light operating. I was amazed to see how the Auzzies were renovating old buildings with such care instead of just hijacking and overcrowding them. I couldn't believe roadsigns painted on tarmac being so clear. Everyone were sticking to speed limits! Traveling on public transport was brand new to me. I noticed people who were cleaning streets, pavements and street furniture (all intact)! I thought that much of this can be attributed to Sydney only....but later on I discovered the same with all cities and towns of Australia. Did I mention how safe I feel here?
SA was like that during appartheid. Must have gone downhill by 2008.

It's this selfishness and willingness to put suffering on others that stifled innovation and actually held Africa back. They continued to trade their people as slaves after slavery was banned.
You only have to look at what happened in Rhodesia, despite the farming technology they destroyed their own food supply, not the brightest of moves.
The problem is Africans invented nothing of use to the modern world, but now claim to have invented everything that others did. It was only recently Africans laid claim to building the pyramids. It's okay that they didn't invent anything, but it's not okay to lie and steal the credit from other nations.

facts are not racist .
Its much like today in post colonialist times where when left alone they fail to progress instead falling back inexorably towards the stone age despite the leg up they were left. I think this is surely down to something inherent, as a sudanese man once said to me, the African respects might and power more than intelligence, he was a teacher trained in the UK, got caught up in the south sudan crisis and was a refugee in the camp i worked at. As he said, until Africa can change its mind about what it respects it will never leave darkness.

Zimbabwe is the poster child for this. When the White Farmers were driven out, murdered, raped, tortured - off the land that they had turned into the 'Breadbasket of Africa' the natives simply reverted to their stone-age ways. Despite being exposed to White Europeans and their work ethic!
How do we actually know this? The life expectancy for a Zimbabwen native was 30 when the White Man arrived. It increased to 60 when the White Man was in charge. They are now back to 30 - due to their inherent laziness and, of course, intermittent starvation!

They must of invented the wheel to get to where the free handouts were 😂😂😂
From the beginning of humanity there have always been a group of people who were curious and perhaps unsatisfied. They would look at distant hills and say to themselves "I wonder what's over there and if its any better than here." But there was also another group that was quite content to not ask questions and just sit where they were while flies crawled all over their face! I think that's your explanation.
Every isolated group remained in the stone age while those who traded with other cultures prospered from the knowledge gained. Africa, Australia, and the Americas ALL remained as stone age societies. But those in the Eurasian accessible regions (including Europe, Asia, the middle east, North Africa, etc) all made great leaps forward as inventions were traded and exploited. Writing systems were perhaps the best invention for passing along knowledge. And once the first few cultures in Mesopotamia gained writing, it spread like wildfire to the rest across the trade routes.
Add to this that equatorial regions were plagued by constant disease and infestations. If you look at any place on earth that has at least occasional hard-freeze conditions (ie: cold winter snaps), they prospered. It's amazing how well a hard freeze kills off disease and insect-borne sicknesses. To put it bluntly, northern regions stayed healthier, while the warmer places had much lower expected lifespans. You can't hope for a society to make great leaps forward when the "elders" are those who reach age 30, and where knowledge can only be passed along by word of mouth.
@@Mr.Ekshin I think it's both really. Trade and certain segments of the population who are willing to pull up roots and go somewhere new. Just look at how so much of scientific progress and invention slowly dropped off in Europe and moved overseas to the Americas, simply because that's where the curious and adventurous went. There's no question that people in the US, who the vast majority of are descendants of European immigrants, are very different than modern Europeans in this regard. It's nothing "genetic", just when a culture becomes saturated with those who "dare", it enjoys progress, while when a culture becomes saturated with those who don't like change, it stagnates.
@@Kelnx - True... but that was exactly what my examples were trying to show.
America before trans-oceanic immigration and trade was a prime example of what 20,000 years of isolation brings (cultural stagnation).
And America after only a few hundred years of trade and cultural influx is an entirely different story. It's literally stone age to space age within a few human life spans.
But as to why equatorial regions are still mired in poverty and stagnation, it's still the disease and pestilence factors at work. It was only in the last hundred years or so that modern medicine has begun to change these places for the better.
@@Kelnx You do realize there are primitive tribes in Northern Europe called the Sami who didnt have the wheel and lived in huts up until the 1900s right?
What people fail to realize is that Europeas growth came from trade with MENA, without that Silk Road and middle easterners Europe would not be where it is.
Furthermore few people really understand the demographics of Africa, its 3X the size of Europe and had a few million people in historic times, with most of its concentration in northern Africa. So the rest of Africa was not only separated from trade but literally almost empty just like certain parts of Asia is empty. You will find the greatest growth in Areas which had the most trade and that was mainly North Africa and East Africa.

One of my favourite African authors was Credo Mutwa, a self-described witch doctor and knowledge holder for the Zulu race. He has written extensively on African history and spirituality, and states that the original rulers of the Bantu people (2500 BC) proclaimed that anyone making innovations (i.e. inventing anything) was to be castrated, disembowelled and thrown to the crocodiles. This must have discouraged the development of the garden shed.

Yes, have often wondered why the interior peoples of Africa failed, on the evidence, to develop their civilisations. The land, if I understand it correctly, is rich in natural resources, which with ingenuity and intelligence could have been exploited to spur and enrich the development of the race. But no, they sat on a goldmine of natural resource and did, essentially, nothing. How could that be? Or, indeed, why was it so?
Simple. Centuries of inbreeding resulting in very low average IQ.
Well they did in fact make use of their natural resources. It depends a bit on which resource you are talking about.
Gold has been used as jewelry and a form of currency for well over 3,000 years. Early iron smelting started in Sub Saharan Africa - about 4,000 years ago. Copper was used long before Europeans visited. So was Ivory.
In fact, the Ivory coast used to be called the Gold coast. It is where Europeans got those products from.
There was plenty of civilisation. We just didn't want to recognise it as such.

To be fair, the great civilisations of the pre-Columbian Americas didn't use wheels for transport either, despite having llamas and the like as potential 'pullers' of wheeled vehicles. Then again, they had sophisticated architecture, towns, mathematics and other features of civilisation that sub-Saharans lacked.
The same the Red Skins of North America ; As far the 18 century .
They had at least discovered the circle! Sadly, a wheel would be of little use in the rainforests, LOL!
It's no coincidence that ancient sites that were built before humans occupied the planet were remarkably similar in Mexico, Peru, Bolivia to those in Mesopotamia, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, Tibet, China. Who were 'the Gods' ancient human tribes saw wrote about?
Great architecture, but nothing great about their "civilization" . They were cruel and Barbaric, and ritual slaughter of humans was an every day occurrence. The Spanish invaders recorded it all. Mostly Vile people.

I would also ask why the wheel wasn't used in America. Before Europeans arrived the American Indians lived as stone age people. They had no wheel, no metal of any kind, no beasts of burden, no horses, no writing and many were simply nomadic hunter / gatherers.

Bingo! We are not allowed to say the obvious.
The wheel was first used in Europe around 3500 BC. The earliest evidence of the wheel in Europe is a clay model of a wagon that was found in Poland and dated to 3635-3370 BC. The first wheeled vehicles in Europe were simple carts that were pulled by animals.
The wheel was quickly adopted throughout Europe, and by 2500 BC, it was being used in many different parts of the continent. The wheel played a major role in the development of European civilization, and it helped to facilitate trade, travel, and warfare.
Here are some of the earliest evidence of the wheel in Europe:
Poland: A clay model of a wagon that was found in Poland and dated to 3635-3370 BC.
Germany: A wooden wheel that was found in Germany and dated to 3400 BC.
Slovenia: A wooden wheel that was found in Slovenia and dated to 3340-3030 BC.
Hungary: A clay model of a wagon that was found in Hungary and dated to 3200-3000 BC.
Greece: A clay model of a chariot that was found in Greece and dated to 2500 BC.
In many colonized African countries the infratructure build by colonizers is still the high tech of the country. There is overall lack of ability to progress things because they lack the mind to understand long term benefit as a whole. There might be individuals who do understand but the nations as whole dont. Short term benefit strategy is obvious also in africanamericans in USA and UK.
You could say exactly the same thing about the British - who were swamp dwellers when the Romans arrived.
When you say "they lack the mind". The ancient British also had a far greater incentive to build things than the Africans did - cold snowy winters for a start.
They've had to depend on China now.
@@tonycatmannot so, plenty of preroman building in Scotland
After the Romans left, the vast majority of the buildings were left to crumble to the ground
@@tonycatman The cold winter theory is one good reason why evolution has progressed mankind outside of Africa and less in warmer climate countries. The abilities you need to survive in colder areas are the bottleneck of evolution. If you dont have them - you wont survive. So the children of those that are able to build shelters and storage food over the winter will have same genes and so on. When you have no incentive to build anything or try to progress the genes needed are not in dominant role. In these kind of environments some other traits are much more needed.

To assert that these noble people couldn’t invent the wheel is a falsehood of the lowest order.

I'm curious as to why Europe,Asia and the middle east have contributed so much to history,in contrast to Africa that really hasn't contributed that much.
If the first humans came from Africa then why is that continent so far behind the others?.
What do u think?
In Sub-Saharan Africa, where seasons vary little, survival required prowess, not innovation. Other than territorial transgressions, hunter-gatherers led predictable lives. In Europe and Asia, however, climate conditions vary greatly. Survival required planning, innovation and cooperation. Each sub-group adapted to its environment, but switch their habitats and it breaks down.

There’s a video on YT of African flying machines, although none of them fly. One of their aeroplane “inventors” made 15 that never got airborne so he started on a 16th, another made a “ helicopter” from shopping trolleys and a lawnmower engine. These are adults, and their creations looked like a child’s crayon drawing brought to life. The book The Bell Curve explains the problem.

Records show that the Pharaohs had chariots (hence the wheel). It is thought that Tutankhamen was injured by being thrown from one during a hunting trip. So why was this idea/invention not taken back to parts further south, even up to the 16th, 17th, 18th & 19th centuries?
It is an intriguing question and one which, as Simon says, is difficult to discuss normally, because the racism minefield awaits anyone who 'puts a foot wrong'!
It's because of that large expanse of sand called the Sahara, where people tend to get a bit thirsty after a day or two of travelling.
They would've had the ability to make the wheel but they didn't have a horse and as they were mostly nomadic and traveled lightly on foot without doing too much in the way of trade I imagine they didn't have that much use for it.
Remember a lot of these tribes were hunter gatherer tribes, and those who did farm didn't have cities to take their surplus too.
@paulclothier2583 Would that be because you think people would have been too thick to go south along the coast of the dead sea where most people lived, but instead would have trekked over a desert, if so how did the early humans go from south Africa to what is now Europe, wouldn't they have to go over that very same desert, or more likely they went up the dead sea coast area.

@LadyThunderbird63 Yeah, it only took several wars of losing to the Edos (in embarrassing fashion) to "light up" the benin walls. But go on and keep on telling me your uneducated
The Benin Walls were among the most impressive earthworks in the world. Their sheer size and the sophistication of their construction provided a strong physical barrier against invaders.
The walls were not just simple barriers but were part of a comprehensive defensive system. They included strategically placed gates and watchtowers that allowed for effective surveillance and defense against potential attackers.
The Kingdom of Benin had a well-trained and organized military force capable of defending the walls effectively. Their knowledge of the terrain and defensive tactics made it challenging for invaders to succeed.

Melanesians resemble us in Africa superficially, they are more closely related to you in Europe than anyone in Africa.
The answer is geography. The interior of africa is not condusive for peoples to trade along the rivers because of how rough the terrain is. Let alone how rough the terrain is and how dense the forests are. There just wasnt the enviromental aids that the rest of the world was lucky to have. The european coast line is longer than that of africas and its rivers are a lot more maangeable. Therefore it was far more condusive for tribes to come together, trade and become societies.
Thats why the nile was so important. Easy access. Same with the tigris and euphrates. You had more people run into each other there than the rest of the world. They ended up trading, bartering and slowly formed complex societies that featured an ever more complex social structure. Thus ideas were shared, life got easier, farming and civilization was born. All around the mediatteranean sea. Heck mid to northern europe was tribal until they came into contact with the peoples of the mediterranean.
Africa has a culture problem. You take any human being in the world and put them in a healthy culture they can succeed in life. But if they are stuck in cyclical ignorance and degeneracy then they'll continue to perpetuate their counterproductive lifestyles.

"...simply to provide their own explanation." An excellent attempt at it was made in Jared Diamond's 1990s book Guns, Germs,and Steel, where geographic factors such as available resources and flora and fauna were quite plausibly put forward to explain differential development between continents. At the time, Diamond's thesis was seen as a way to get around racial explanations. But from what I've heard, his thesis is anathema to today's crop if anti-racists because it leaves no room for inherent white racism as the primary reason for the differences.
So a book which is not about racism, is racist, because it isn't anti racist?
Sounds just about right enough.

Pleistocene North African genomes link Near Eastern and sub-Saharan African human populations
By MARIEKE VAN DE LOOSDRECHT
Abstract
North Africa is a key region for understanding human history, but the genetic history of its people is largely unknown. We present genomic data from seven 15,000-year-old modern humans, attributed to the Iberomaurusian culture, from Morocco. We find a genetic affinity with early Holocene Near Easterners, best represented by Levantine Natufians, suggesting a pre-agricultural connection between Africa and the Near East. We do not find evidence for gene flow from Paleolithic Europeans to Late Pleistocene North Africans. The Taforalt individuals derive one-third of their ancestry from sub-Saharan Africans, best approximated by a mixture of genetic components preserved in present-day West and East Africans. Thus, we provide direct evidence for genetic interactions between modern humans across Africa and Eurasia in the Pleistocene.

The invention of the wheel is nothing without an axle. In how many places was this independently created? I think most places had the wheel/axle introduced rather than created locally. It then took another couple of thousand years (late 17th century) before the fifth wheel on a cart to allow the front wheels to turn corners was invented.
These things which seem so obvious to we who have grown up with them were actually the rare creation of geniuses.
While the wheel and animal-drawn wheeled transports were usable in the arid environment of the ancient Sahara,[4] and usable in the sparsely wooded, level, arid environment of the ancient Sahel,[5] the environment of the ancient Sudan may have made it rather impractical due to there being a lack of paved roads and seasonal rains.[4] The tse-tse fly belt is also distributed throughout the environment of tropical Africa, which is a region of increased risk for livestock and the spread of disease among livestock.[5] Additionally, compared to the drying environment of the ancient Sahara, use of canoes to travel and transport goods along local and regional waterways, such as Lake Chad, the Niger River, and the Senegal River, may have been a much more efficient means of travel and transport in the ancient Sudan.[4] In the Sudan, the early use of donkeys and horses, as well as the later use of camels, as beasts of burden and riding animals may have also been more suitable compared to their use as draft animals; consequently, their use in the Sudan may have spread rapidly, and their use may have also rapidly displaced the use of animal-drawn wheeled transports in the Sahara.
Apart from the pivot hinge which was created over two thousand five hundred years ago. This allowed the front wheels to turn on a pivot. The "fifth wheel" was just the latest great leap in this direction due to bearings and casting being created.
There are numerous ways to create a method of steering a cart that do not require the use of a fifth wheel. A simple nail driven through a post could allow for the front wheels of a cart to turn as the post rotates around the nail. This solution is so easily conceived that the basic problem of needing to turn the cart at some point along its journey likely spawned the idea. No genius involved at any point, just someone who needs to overcome an obstacle.
@@breadyboi7286 A nail through a post? Would be great but it would require metal working and production.

Paullan if you listened in your science class you would know about heat conductors. I guess being white doesn’t increase your IQ. And you support man u 🤦
The greatest distinction between peoples, their temperament and the nature of their conception of civil society is between the farmer and the hunter. Only one is required to have empathy, to apply abstraction to complex systems and to think about tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.
Mmm, if you take a look at what makes a civilisation, you’ll find that water management is an effective common denominator, at least as far as the Chinese, Egyptians and Mesopotamians were concerned. In Mexico, Tenochtitlan was also built in and around a great lake so perhaps that’s it. Water management, the building of a great network of canals, also helped shunt Britain into the Industrial Revolution.
Water development takes some kind of foresight. That comes before advanced civilization. The Babylonians were ahead of the present day third world. The lack of functionality and foresight is being imported into formerly advanced nations. Watch as their own infrastructure collapses.
thats the main problem it takes effort..and when there is no-one willing to put any effort in nothing gets done....no such thing as the common good
africa lacks navigable waterways, but it does have lakes.
@@aafgahfah You can start irrigation from a lake too and grow crops. Which the Africans did not.
The West African Empires were built in proximity of the Niger River
It goes far in explaining the condition of their countries world wide and on every MLK boulevard in the US not to mention making a damn good reason to stop 3rd world immigration....
Though it may be the best, most-determined, hardest-working people that try so hard to get into the US and EU. (Along with a bunch of crooks and parasites that will take advantage of immigration too.)
Evidence: Many or even most of the Florida construction jobs are done by Mexicans. And agriculture.
So you do want to let the good people in.
It probably was but without roads it didn't really come in handy.
Means... to lazy to build roads!? 😜
While the wheel and animal-drawn wheeled transports were usable in the arid environment of the ancient Sahara,[4] and usable in the sparsely wooded, level, arid environment of the ancient Sahel,[5] the environment of the ancient Sudan may have made it rather impractical due to there being a lack of paved roads and seasonal rains.[4] The tse-tse fly belt is also distributed throughout the environment of tropical Africa, which is a region of increased risk for livestock and the spread of disease among livestock.[5] Additionally, compared to the drying environment of the ancient Sahara, use of canoes to travel and transport goods along local and regional waterways, such as Lake Chad, the Niger River, and the Senegal River, may have been a much more efficient means of travel and transport in the ancient Sudan.[4] In the Sudan, the early use of donkeys and horses, as well as the later use of camels, as beasts of burden and riding animals may have also been more suitable compared to their use as draft animals; consequently, their use in the Sudan may have spread rapidly, and their use may have also rapidly displaced the use of animal-drawn wheeled transports in the Sahara.
@oshead Roads weren't necessary, how do you think builders on building sites move their wheel barrows?
@r1234
And where was their system of Wells,and their canal network??
😎👍🏴
@@David-q1t4d Hang tight, it won't be long before they claim they built ours.
But in Wakanda there's so much advanced technology.
Because no one in Africa had even invented a road to use the wheel on .😊
Are you sure about that?
They were probably worried about infringing an existing patent.
Is it because humans have several subspecies that are signified through the differences in the colour of our skin? After hearing about Europeans having neanderthal DNA and the lotus eaters recent video pointing out the differences in multiple races blood being very different, I'm not so convinced that we are all so similar. Isn't it possible that we are simply able to interbreed in the same way that lions and tigers do?
Yes.
Yes
A curious case!?
As Darwin said evolution of the species, white Europeans, Russian, were the most prolific in inventions and Chinese Indian evolved much faster than black Africans it's almost like we can't mention this or the difference in intelligence we are all sub species .
Yes you can breed a cart horse with a race horse ,what comes out is neither,
And the inter breading will kill of the human race
Apparently the sponge was invented in africa.
