That's not the DDR flag, OP.
Has /his/ ever wondered why "civilization" AKA fort building, city making, river cultures seem to appear all around the exact same time 3100 - 2700 BCE? I understand that surplus food and increased organization made it all possible, what i wonder is why a sudden explosion in 3 or more different places at once.
>>1569431
I never really thought about why civilizations all came about at the same time. I just move my worker to an irrigable tile and click build on my settler.
>>1569431
Stable climate made it possible to not only appear, but stick around for long. Even then there were still gaps of thousands of years between the beginnings of different independent civilizations.

Did the Celts do anything significant other than be repeatedly defeated?

They kidnapped St. Patrick, thus justifying a millennia of British atrocities committed in self-defense

How could feminism have been suppressed in western society?
Why oppress a movement outright when you can infiltrate it, cause a major schism, and make sure it never comes into relevance due to petty infighting?

Nice try Anita
Europe didn't exist. The Byzantine/Orthodox world was a completely separate civilization from that of Western Europe, and the two hated each other.

I've been putting off getting into it
>In the winter of 1450 a ravenous army of wolves invaded Paris
>The beasts terrorized the people and devoured over 40 men, women, and children
>Citizens waged battle against the canines and succeeded in luring them into the center of the city where they were slain with makeshift weapons and stones, the leader of the pack being defeated in front of Notre Dame Cathedral
>In WWI a pack of man eating wolves were so bloodthirsty that the Russians and Germans called a temporary truce to rid themselves of the creatures
Were european wolves always so vicious? Or did some aspect of european culture make them this way?
I even read somewhere about europeans building raised roadside platform shelters from wolves
American wolves are pretty chill in comparison
>>1571160
>European Wolves
Wolves are just vicious. Full stop. Its a pack of predatory animals for sakes.
In China, wolves & tigers were quite the hassle, that the it was a civic duty to alert villages of any pack/pride close by.
Said villages then arm up and go after them similar to the way said militias arm up and go after bandits.
In addition, some chinese weapons evolved out of animal control campaigns, like the Wolf Lance, Wolf Club, and the Tiger Fork,
>>1571160
Wolves are known to form super-packs in times of desperation and just run down anything in their way, even humans.
When times are plentiful for the wolves they leave humans alone out of fear.
It could be that America still has vast swathes of uninhabited land so the wolves rarely interact with humans, whereas they are always close by in Europe

But I unistalled Civilization III in 9th grade to focus on my studies.
How much credit do General Winter and rasputitsa (the mud seasons of Eastern Europe) deserve for defeating Napoleon and Hitler?
>oh no it's cold let's go back :--Dddd
idk, given the Russian army post-Suvorov was completely incompetent it might have been so. Ruskies only know scorched earth and zerg rushing. I'm guessing bad logistics so no supply lines also affected it.
>>1571042
Seems like a less valid excuse for the Germans. It wasn't a new phenomenon and he knew he had a military built to conduct war only in the summer.
>>1571032
If you presume that winter is the main reason why Hitler and Napoleon lost then you are implying that russians are somehow superhumans who are immune to cold and can fly and carry equipment over impassable tracts of land which contradicts your obvious agenda
what are some of the worst/most inacurrate documentaries?
Fahrenheit 911
There's this one part of the movie where Michael Moore claims that (Saddam's) Iraq never harmed a single American before the 2003 invasion. I don't know if he purposely ignored the gulf war, or did the excessive fat in his head make him forget?
Zeitgeist

any documentary with a political bias (everything by michael moore)
Is technological advancement a natural or artificial progression?
Are all of our advancements inevitabities, that result from the stagnation of biological Darwinism and the need to provide sustenance for growing populations?
I'm not trying to start a discussion on free will necessarily but I'm very curious about whether or not modern technology might be the next/current phase in our evolution.
I don't know of any evidence that evolution has particularly stagnated (it would take a few thousand years to check), but sure, the distinction between natural and artificial is a totally arbitrary one. The evolution of the automobile is no less a product of organic processes (an organic brain did all the work) than the evolution of a body part.
>>1573073
It's the opinion of many that we've encountered an evolutionary plateau. People don't breed with each other for traits that promote characteristics such as intelligence and disease resistance anymore (as is apparent in Africa with the AIDs epidemic). Unintelligent people have many times more children than those that are opposite them on the bell curve.
But I hear you, I suppose technology can't ever be considered artificial. I just meant that it's another facet of our evolution as a species, and has more to do with increasing our individual capabilities than we acknowledge.
>>1573060
stagnation of biological Darwinism
>>1573073
>I don't know of any evidence that evolution has particularly stagnated
That isn't what OP implied
So.
>inb4 Just throwing this out here for discussion.
Darwinism implies natural selection. There is currently no biological impetus for the human organism to change. Current evolutionary changes are based on technological advancement not on adaptations to survive to environment.
Should children have the right to kill their parents in retaliation for ruined childhoods, or sue them or have them incarcerated or otherwise punished?
Parents have total control of a child's life for 18 years, and very little accountability.
>>1572174
a better question would be should parents have total control of a child's life for 18 years. parents can rape you, abuse you, etc. why grant them revenge when you can prevent the thing happening in the first place?
>>1572174
>incarcerated
Thats what asylums are for.
