RE: who invented what! Why are people So Obsessessed

I can imagine the conversations, people were having -Either after work
after overseeing work constructing the Pyramids, The cholars in Alexandria
(Or the Astronomists from Ur)

Writing on their papyri scrolls as to to the foriegners of the
meditteranean who they do business with - asking what have these Barbarians
invented!!

Everything goes in cycles, people/Socities learn from past
peoples/societies - Knowledge increases


It is funny, some people are superior or smart by proxy,
They feel pride for what someone else has achieved Although they never
quite manage to conribute anything worthwhile themslves.

Somehow they think that because someone of a similar colour invented
something --


{{{NOTE they usually use the the word race Negleting the the fact that
"there are many diff races within each colur" --- [A bit of a red herring
really as there is only one human race HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS]}}

That this achievement by these individuals; is now the collective
achievement of the masses by virtue of them being the same colour.

For example - If you are of European extraction, ie English German French
Polish!! You can claim All the Achievements of the Hellenists and Romans as
your own - By virtual of your colour.

The truth is that all the advances, inventions: cultural, social, political
are attributed to less than 10% <nearer 2%> of the population.
