You got all that from text books commisioned in the XIV centrury bt the Wholely roamin Empire, history books s not reliable, I was really there.



And just how is that date plucked out of the past?


There are no fukkin aboriginal genes on this planet, the build at base has been beamed here where the soil would support generation of a civilization bud, lot's of billions of them are planyed every minute very few rise to tax thier bretheren. Thye are usually circumvented by good natural progression. Seeding planets, by EB Eaver, $19.99 EEEEHBAY

What date is that? The one deduced by the genome project? They count regularly occurring mutations and new branches and compare them. They are now able to compare genomes of the long dead. They now have a few complete Neanderthal genomes and the data is piling up rapidly. They can now sequence a 20000 year old genome from a single tooth.

Yes, there are aboriginal peoples. They were the first ones to explore, settle new places. Wherever the did it, it was a goddam dangerous operation, too.

These people are snake oil, why have the regularly occuring mutations been regularly occuring? There's no reliable dating for 99% of human history. It's way to valuable to share with the lesser brotherin. That's what I herd anyway. Real huistory is very difficult to explain to children so just fill thier heads with flags and Queens and they will comply.


Would you rather die for the king or the queen?

Probably more inventions and discoveries in the past 80 years than in all of history before that point.

Damn I thought it would be easy, all I kneed is a warm place to multiply, gestation, sure I;m habging on to the walll know but it wi\on't al3ways be theat way,

We have to endue short summers only because we haven't invaded you lot, Georgia this autum,n, a nice winter , you are in th way of me enjoying winter,

More maybe, but are they as important?Almost everything we have depended on someone harnessing fire and making metals.


What year was alcohol invented/discovered? The wheel was a fairly important invention. (About 6060 years ago.)

It's is an impossible question to answer since we don't know what happened 100 years ago let alone times further back than 1500.
I would say agriculture gunpowder or the wonderful thread forms. But when were they?

An interesting question. Bread was made into slices in the beginning and then evolved into loaves eventually requireing the reinvention of the slab or slice.

You were supposed to click on the link I provided to get the whole story as I just provided a slice of it.....

But the Chillicothe Baking Company, in Chillicothe, Missouri, was willing to give Rohwedder’s invention a chance. They installed the machine and began to sell “Kleen Maid Sliced Bread” on July 7, 1928. The day before this bread was to be put on store shelves, the local newspaper, the Constitution-Tribune, ran both a front page article and a full page ad to inform the public and promote the product:

What do you mean 'we' don't know what happened a 100 years ago or earlier?

Anyways one of the most fascinatingly complicated machines invented was the Babbage Calculator

Nobody is too sure when toilet paper was first used. Before the invention of toilet paper, people from different parts of the world had many different ideas for personal hygiene. Some people used stones or sponges (especially rich Romans), but a variety of other things were used also.

The first “official” toilet paper was introduced in China in 1391, but the first mention of toilet paper (paper for personal hygiene) dates back to the year 589 AD in Korea. Between 875 and 1317 AD, paper was produced in large sheets (2-foot x 3-foot sheets and even perfumed) for Chinese emperor’s family hygiene.

In the Colonial America, the common means was corncobs.

Joseph C. Gayetty invented the first packaged toilet paper in the United States in 1857. Joseph C. Gayetty is credited as the inventor of modern commercially available toilet paper. "Gayetty’s Medicated Paper" was sold in packages of flat sheets, medicated with aloe and watermarked with his name. Gayety’s toilet paper was available as late as the 1920's.

In 1871, Seth Wheeler (to some sources Zeth Wheeler) of Albany became the official “inventor” of toilet paper. Seth Wheeler patents rolled and perforated wrapping paper. His Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company began selling the first toilet paper on a roll.

Rolled and perforated toilet paper was invented around 1880. In 1879, Thomas Seymour, Edward Irvin and Clarence Wood Scott founded the Scott Paper Company in Philadelphia. Scott brothers came up with the idea of customizing rolls for every merchant-customer they had. They began selling packages of small rolls and stacked sheets. Scott Paper Company began producing toilet paper under its own brand name in 1896. By 1925 Scott Company became the leading toilet paper company in the world.

The first documented use of a roll of toilet paper was in 1882 in New York State.

In 1935 Northern Tissue invented splinter free toilet paper. Simple paper making procedures often failed to remove small splinters from the finished product but Northern Paper engineers solved the problem (method called linenizing). Softer, splinter-free toilet paper then became a reality for consumers and provided an advertising slogan for Northern Tissue.
In 1942 St. Andrew’s Paper Mill (England, Walthamstow, London), produced the first soft, two ply toilet tissue.

In 1954 was produced the first colored toilet tissue by Northern.

Who Invented Toilet Paper?

Your culture is surprisingly North American, now. Enjoy your coffee. Somewhere in the last few decades you figured out how to make the stuff.

Actually, it's the other way around. North American culture is mainly British.

And I don't drink coffee. I drink tea. It's also weird for a Canadian to say that the Europeans don't know how to make coffee. That's like telling the Chinks they don't know how to make noodles.

Just what the sentence said, history is invented.

If Edison wore tights, would he have had a military title like Cpt Light Bulb?

Origins of the light infantry?

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that Edison invented the lightbulb. Sir Joseph Swan and maybe even Humphry Davy have a much better claim.

You might know how to make tea, but you are as ignorant as they come in other ways! You should probably avoid walking down alleys in China town after dark!

The genomes from the north corner of Wales where my grandmother came from are continuous going back 10,000-12,000 years. They are the aboriginal people of Europe and they've been treated like one, too.

A DNA study of Britons has shown that, genetically, there is not a unique Celtic group of people in the UK.

According to the data, those of "Celtic" ancestry in Scotland and Cornwall are more similar to the English than they are to other Celtic groups.

The Scots, Welsh and Irish being "Celtic" is nothing more than a myth invented by 18th Century Scottish, Welsh and Irish nationalists and there is no evidence to suggest they are in any way related to the true Celts of mainland Europe.

The fact is that the vast majority of Britons share the same lineage. Around 80% of people living in the British Isles are descended from the indigenous European Palaeolithic hunter gatherer population.

The era when the ones in power saw that their looks or their strength was not enough to keep all of the people happy all of the time. Introducing false fears was found to be the cure for an observant population. There probably isn't a time when that ploy wasn't used to some degree. We have a society that believes what they are told rather than believing what the facts point to as being 'the most likely version'.

There's nothing ignorant about me. I consider myself to he fairly knowledgeable on a wide range of issues.

As for China it's an awful place with awful people and awful food and I have no intention of going there intentionally anytime soon.

Celts never existed.
