Wooden structures 476,000 BCE

Sailing 100,000 BCE

Drawing 73,000 BCE

Counting 60,000 BCE

Medicine 40,000 BCE

…

Writing 3,200 BCE

Alphabet 2,400 BCE

I find it hard to believe humans were building houses, painting pictures, making rope, and sailing for tens of thousands of years without inventing writing. I think we just haven’t found any of it that survived.
