The rectangles seem suggestive of agriculture as well.
- akiselev 3y agoPrimitive forms of agriculture ("intensive gathering" and cultivation) among hunter gatherers were around long before sedentary agriculture developed, on the order of 10,000 years or more [1] [1] https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0131422 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
- contingencies 3y agoIf you eat things and spit or defecate out the seeds then assuming a roughly endemic plant and suitable conditions you are going to get more plants of that type coming up where you were. Given hunter-gatherer societies often featured seasonal nomadism, and would thus have experienced plant growth in their seasonal environments through time-lapse staccato, it wouldn't have taken an abnormal intelligence to realise agriculture. It's probably far more ancient than we will ever know.
