things like polynesian ocean navigation methods,
and various land management practices to creat fire breaks, and promote different species benificial to there needs, inuit technolgy's that are very specialised for survival in the far north, and include the totaly indipendent development of the screw thread fastener, other far north technologys exist accross the polar regions.
There is a very very ling list of things that were explored and refined, and developed into the basic framework that we call science now.....ceramics are ancient, but were developed many times in far flung places through ,what apears to be an inate drive to understand and explore our world, test our ideas and impliment those in some way benificial to our survival and comfort. They has science, that existed in a pure meritocracy,certain studys into lithic ,pigment, and fibre technologys have outlasted the species that started them, but have been continious and in some sense are ongoing today more than 1 million years later....no break.
As there is now mountains of video of other species useing tools and solving problems, the question for "modern science" is to find out how much specific information is pre loaded into our DNA, along with the drive to find more information.
Which then begs the question is "science" instinctual rather than a process?
Do people think science doesn't involve surveying people with direct knowledge of the situation over the long term?
More to the point though - what does Indigenous Science mean in this context. Its not like Indigenous people have traditional knowledge of microplastics.
What is indigenous science?
