The inca is not a "stone-age" civilization. They arose in the 13th century. They have writing, metal working, amazing agriculture, bureaucracy, road systems, storage, planned cities. They effectively eradicated starvation in the empire with their public storage systems.
Calling things stone age is wrong. That period, if you're being gracious, ended roughly 2,000 BCE which is about 3300 thousand years before the Inca started their civilization.
If you want to learn a bit more about civilizations in this part of the world, I heartily recommend a book called 1491 by Charles Mann: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39020.1491 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39020.1491
- oblio 7y agoWhile using the term "stone age" in this case is obviously incorrect, all the human ages depend on the place you're talking about. The Iron Age started in Anatolia around 1000BC but even today there are uncontacted peoples (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontacted_peoples) that still haven't reached it. Human society development is not uniform nor universal.
