what has not been invented by europeans?hi, i am trying to write a paper on the massive scientific and technological achievements of the european peoples, including those in the diaspora in america, and it quickly becomes clear that virtually everything that has been invented is by those of european descent.
surely something has been invented by others? i ask this because i want to write a balanced paper.Last edited by lulubel; 10-12-2011 at 00:20. -

Re: what has not been invented by europeans?Indian actually, adopted by the arabic system.(Original post by Mm_Minty)
Google it.
If you can't be bothered, the numbers we use today are actually Arabic.
To post a list of all such inventions would be too big to fit on this thread. And to educate someone of such, with such a glaringly obvious lack of education as yourself could take years.(Original post by lulubel)

Re: what has not been invented by europeans?I know something the Europeans didn't invent.
Those neck rings that some tribes put around their necks to make their necks longer so they can say "hey I have a well long neck."
