Even primitive cultures have medicine men. But they don't have engineers, at least, certainly not full-time ones.

- kamaal 15y agoNo, they do have. Not just primitive cultures. Even older than them. There have been huge marvels of engineering for daily lives and occupation. Like Irrigation system in Indus valley civilization(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Valley_Civilization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indus_Valley_Civilization). That sort of a system can't be built by adhoc work. You will need dedicated people to plan, design and implement it. Its more or less as advanced as any decently large irrigation project today. Except that it was more difficult for them. They didn't have many things at their disposal which most engineers today have(which made their job more difficult than we can imagine) While biological sciences were still in Infancy then.
