I wonder why they all developed writing...

Also, the American continent became populated much more later, though lately there has been an "study" that claims humans reached America about 130.000 years ago. https://www.nature.com/news/controversial-study-claims-humans-reached-americas-100-000-years-earlier-than-thought-1.21886

Well, the Americas were settled late in the game. That might have an impact.

>>2751389
Because they literally had to walk from Africa
through Siberia,
through Canada,
through the USA,
through Mexico

AND

somewhere along the way discover that maize could be cultivated so that civilization could develop

NOT TO MENTION

they achieved all that

You forgot it developed indipendently in Minoan Crete around 2000 BC

You can do this in a few centuries at most.

I was looking for greece but only found Anatolian records. Thanks but.

>>2751506
If your goal is to walk to South America, yeah

But it's not like people knew South America existed and were trying to go there. People probably didn't go through Siberia until all possible land that wasn't a frozen hellhole got taken.

Didn't many just get to South America by boat?

>Around 10,200 BCE the first fully developed Neolithic cultures belonging to the phases Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) and Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (7600 to 6000 BCE) appeared in the fertile crescent and from there spread eastwards and westwards.

> La Blanca, Ocós, and Ujuxte in the Pacific Lowlands of Guatemala yielded pottery dated to c. 2500 BC.

Seems it took them 5 500 years less to develop it. The real question would be why Mesoamerican civilization started so late.

>>2751495
We all know you can't walk and think at the same time right guys? I mean it's like that with you as well right?

>We're just gonna go through the icy hellhole that is Siberia because there is probably a sunny land on the other side

I think the point of building settlements is to remain stationary for the most part.
