Are Human Beings Different in Their Capacity to Discover?
If certain elements of culture are universal and thus can be found in every culture, then technically one could guess that the things that we're taking from other cultures were also part of our culture. People are very similar in their capacity to discover. The rates at which they discover these things are heavily dependent on idiosyncrasies of the environment that they inherit just by virtue of where they are on Earth. But my point is, I agree that populations that have had their culture disrupted either had those discoveries in their history or would have come across them soon enough. Yeah. Why don't we just make sure that a package that contains all of the most useful stuff is given to everybody? yeah.
