It was an adoption program.

not everything is about fricking and cooming. you educate her and get her exercise.

But what the frick do you even do to a 9 year old?

And I'm part of the reason we need armed police!

This one. Not even close.

Do you have any wheels?

They literally did not have animals to hitch to a wagon.

No horses, no oxen, no cows. Nothing like old worlders had. Only llamas in South America and even then just in the gd Andes mountains.

This is the key reason why the new world was so primitive.

Not to mention pack dogs and canoes/waterways.

They had decent roads - not really as good as most nations in the old world but still they had a significant network. And their agriculture was actually pretty good, especially considering they just barely used any draft animals and the majority of physical labor was from humans.

I am not sure I believe that none of the natives of North America had wheels.

Why not? Because you think they're so obvious? Remember that in the old world, useful novel inventions like the wheel spread quite far and wide, and this kind of technological spread would obviously work the same on another continent. If any Native American tribe had any significant use of wheels for transport, it seems like it would have spread, and we'd have some evidence of it by now.

There was "guns germs and steel" as well as "Sapiens" that both took a decent stab at the question. Difficult to really tell though, if it were that easy we'd be able to predict contemporary develop questions.

It's called macrohistory. It's the ultimate seethemaxing field because any theory will claim to have the One True Answer to dozens of controversial questions --- that is, the kinds millions have killed each other over.

The main one is "Which humans are better than others?" Others include:

• "What is the purpose of life?"

• "Does history have a direction?"

• "What should my politics be?"

• "What should we tell/force other counties to do?"

There is no way to answer these without pissing off at least 3 billion people.

I would highly recommend this self-taught course based on Fukuyama.

The main argument I've seen is the differences in domesticatable animals

That's an unfair comparison, the British population was composed nearly entirely of British people.

Maybe some tribes, especially the ones that Hobbes would have known the most about so he still r-slurred on that, but Plains and Basin tribes had very brutal and short lives compared to more sedentary Southwest and Eastern Woodland tribes.

Wow! Did you learn these facts at Reddit U?

If you can call what pooropeans do "living"

Indians already had institutions large enough to just take over, Africa was too fractured.
