    It's not a fact. At least not a correct one :p

    I'm afraid we do know you have problems. Lets hope it is as simple as just having too much free time and don't know how to fill it. If you once were cool though I don't wanna know what the hell happened... :p

    Unfortunately I think the majority of people that have read more than one of your threads would bet money on the idea that you can not get laid. People that can generally are in some different vibe which shows in their communication. You sound like you have locked yourself up in a room for years.

    If the shoe doesn't fit don't wear it. You could be construed as being one dimensional in that you could have one girl if you paid for it. Why not two or more out of generosity?
    Neanderthals discovered fire which is still what we use to run our power systems.

    No, actually homo erectus discovered fire.

    I could get on an online dating site and set up 100 dates in a month if I were so inclined. Or I could probably go out somewhere tonight. My main problem when I go out though, is that most girls go out with a group of people they already know and I usually go out by myself.

    And the FACT still remains that all science and technology that is more advanced than medieval was invented by European people, unless you count modern Japan.

    RichardTheFrog, what is your intention in starting this thread? You should clarify, because on the face of it, it sounds racist.

    Stirring the pot, asking for negative attention.

    I'm sure it sounds racist, but it's not.

    It is a fact, though.

    All modern science was discovered by white people. If you don't agree, then you don't know the facts.

    What are your theories as to why it happened this way? I already gave mine. And it is true that humans in prehistoric Europe needed more technology to survive.

    Repeating it is a fact does not make it one.

    Explaining those theories would take too long here. It is better to only make such an effort for sincere people (and threads). You (and your threads) are not really worth that time and effort.

    I stand corrected as to prevailing belief.

    I think the problem stems from not socializing with anyone.

    So according to you we have to ignore the fact that the Japan exists in order for your fact to ring true. That is just a level of ignorance.

    You are not getting the point. Perhaps Japan made one little thing that was built on hundreds of years of European scientific discoveries.

    The "scientific revolution" started in Europe, pioneered by figures such as Isaac Newton.

    All scientific discoveries since that day have been by European people.

    Sure, they may have invented some robotics in Japan in the last two decades or so, but they only got that by using the technology we made.

    Prior to the arrival of Europeans to Japan in 1853, Japan was a medieval society. The only reason that Japan did not become a European colony just like the rest of the world is because they were smart enough to purchase, and then copy, our technology.

    Let's rephrase the question:

    Why did the industrial revolution start in Europe? Why did Europeans discover the structure of the atom? As oppose the natives of Papau New Guinea?

    No, I'm not a racist. I'm just asking this question.

    Why did Europeans come to dominate the globe? Why did the Australian Aborigines not dominate the globe?

    The simple answer is resources. An interesting book on the subject is Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel.

    No, it's not just resources. There are many places on the Earth that have iron and water.

    The answer is in the brains of the people.

    It doesn't take "resources" to come up with calculus, so why did Europeans come up with calculus?

    Why did the natives of Papau New Guinea not put a man on the moon?

    No, this is false. You don't want to get the point though, I understand.


    Seems an entirely different question to me.

    Not everywhere has the combination of endemic animals for domestication and plants for domestic agriculture. Cultures that have a history of animal domestication acquire a whole complex of diseases to which they develop relative immunity. They become dominant by virtue in part from the spread of these pathogens to unprotected populations. So this has to do with the bugs in people, not the brains.

    There are no native beasts of burden representing mechanical power in papua new guinea.

    Okay let's rephrase the question yet again:

    Why did MOST of the technological and scientific advancements of the world come from Europe as opposed to anywhere else.

    And if you are going to say "they didn't," you are wrong and do some research.

    The most advanced civilization the world has known that was not built by Europeans, or built upon their scientific achievements was Ming China.

    Explain that one.
