- rightbyte 2y agoI don't think slavery made sense for nomadic people. Also, 'slave' is a quite advanced abstract concept for a time when humans could barely speak with eachother.
- biorach 2y ago> a time when humans could barely speak with eachother. That's a pretty wild claim
- PlattypusRex 2y agoI'm confused by this, humans already had well-developed and complex language well before we started moving out of Africa into Europe.
- underlipton 2y agoRelatively high divergence of language across a relatively small geographic area? How often, exactly, are you interacting with people outside your family group? Outside your local group of family groups? Even factoring in nomadism.
