Can someone tell me what Darwin theory is? Is it related to thermodynamics? Does it have something to do with the way a foot leaves an impression in a mud brick?

If you mean the Antikythera mechanism, that was more like 2000 years ago.

But they had plenty of technological advancements of other sorts 4000 years ago.

well gears were used I think 1000 BC in China so almost 4000 years ago?

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 4 months ago

Sorry, you are correct. I was thinking toothed gears.

Almost 4000 years ago is a stretch. 3000.

considering Neanderthals existed more than 200000 years ago not much of a difference between 3000 and 4000.

Ok, but that's like saying that King Arthur had airplanes because, whomever the historical figure was that the legend is based on lived less than 1000 years before the Wright Brothers......

King arthur had air planes if we are wondering whether or not Neanderthals had airplanes
