>Homo ergaster

The African hominids were grassland dwelling animals. It wasn't until Homo species moved out of the Fertile Cresent and the expanding ice sheets that caves became major dwelling sites.

I don't know but nostalgia about the good old days is omnipresent in human history. Golden Age myth and all that.

"The behaviour of young men today is not what it was when I was young. In those days men hankered after deeds of derring-do, either by going raiding or by winning wealth and honor through exploits in which there was some element of danger. But nowadays young men want to be stay-at-homes, and sit by the fire, and stuff their stomachs with mead and ale; and so it is that manliness and bravery are on the wane." - Ketil the Large, Egil's Saga

Yes, there were plenty of pedophiles in the past

What was the name of that autist that worked as a janitor and wrote a 100,000 page novel about little girls in an orphanage rebelling against their evil head master. I think he died in 1979.

Some asspain heretics killed a inbred but pious tyrant like a billion years ago and for some reason True Irishmen want to appeal to the Nasty North.

TR's only works when your stick is intimidating enough. Moral diplomacy is nice but even Wilson kind of knew it was too limiting for a real superpower and ended up interfering in random nation's affairs that would contradict this theory. Dollar diplomacy is a tightrope, you really have to make sure you are betting on the right side or you stand to lose a lot of money and make an enemy. I guess Wilson's is the more preferred but it only works when you have a loose definition of what "aligns" with your nation's beliefs.

What was the peak of power for the Soviet Union? Khrushchev?

If it was still around I'd defect.

I was told by a Russian friend of mine that Russia in the 60s was pretty much America in the 20s

India was also pretty good with mathematics iirc.

Euclid's Elements is the oldest mathematical text book to have a formalized, axiomatic deductive system, therefore launching formal mathematics

its a reason why the Arabs cherished the book, and why it was the dominant textbook for 2000 years

The Egyptians, Babyloniansdid great things with practical math, but Greece definitely outshines them in mathematical legacy


I don't know much about China or India to speak for them

Most Chinese urban centers at the time were inland, and trade with Japan wasn't as prolific as trade across the silk road or across the Mediterranean.

>>1934023
Nobody fucking went to Japan

Silk route went west.

Seriously though, imagine if they actually went through industrialisation.

there was this guy Parmentier who did time in a prussian jail and they hadn´t nothing but potato to eat, so he comes out and organizes potato banquets in Versailles and convinced the king that potato was the solution for famine in Europe

>>1933809
Because of misinformed "Common knowledge" and anti-Anglo sentiments.

Potatos, like Tomatos, are members of the Solanaceae plant family- Nightshades. The greens and leaves are poisonous, and for most plant life, its a fair assumption that if one part is poison, the rest is too.

>>1933849
I remember a story about how when they brought potatoes to Greece nobody wanted them because they were covered in roots and were green and ugly. They were giving them away for free but nobody wanted anyway. Someone had the idea to store them away and hire guards. The people thought they were valuable so they were stolen overnight and planted.

Judaism is a religion of peace

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

>Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

>23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!”
>24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

It's just an excuse for why Muslim countries are so appallingly terrible.

The middle East was a war-torn shithole well before "muh colonialism". They were just using swords and antique rifles instead of AKs and IEDs and usually one powerful ruler or another would nip potential problem children in the bud.

the king suffered periodically from the hereditary metabolic disease called porphyria, though not until he had already been on the throne for more than a quarter of a century.

I mean, just fucking look at him.
