@craigmiller4528 How about you giving me one. Again actual evidence of wide spread cultures starting say 10,000 years ago. Europe, Middle East and Asia. Written languages, Middle East and Asia; somewhat later in MesoAmerica. I am not saying people didn't exist in other areas e as; but rather little has been found. In Brazil there is some wide spread evidence of large scale populations, but nothing written, carved or available. The Pacific Coast of South America remains of early civilisations; but no written or carved language, even the Inca had no actual written language, although through their knowledge cords they were able to transmit information. My point is that cultures that leave no hard evidence or writings behind are hard to study. We can look at what we can find, make guesses based on funeral offerings and graves, find camp or village sites; but the transmission of knowledge determines what we can say about a past people. New knowledge is added over time as New methods are developed to search for it; but until things are found that tell us something about the people who used the site, there is little to study. Neanderthal was originally thought not to have any artistic or cultural traits, now we know that they had funeral practices, did use decorations and even some art. Less than 50 years ago that won't have been believed. The oldest pottery found was in Japan whi.e the first glazed pottery came from the mountains of Asia 500 years later. Submersibles have found evidence of settlements at the bottom of the Blsck Sea at least as old as those found in Turkey. My point is that we learn over time and condemning Eurocentrism for lack of concern over other cultures is just as foolish as ignoring that as our tools improve, our ability recognize earlier civilizations improve. The question then becomes why did they disappear, and the answer is only zeuropeans.
