I guess my point is that kinships networks and communcation should surely be the norm in terms of theories about the spread of knowledge. A newsworthy article WOULD be "prehistoric Humans spread knowledge and advancement usually through the kidnapping of superior members of other tribes." People spread knowledge through communication....I dunno seems a bit obvious doesnt it?

Exactly what I was about to say "Knowledge of how to make and use pottery was shared between hunter-gatherer communities in Europe via kinship-driven, regional communication networks"......or...."hey nice thing how did you make that?"......what the hell else did they think was an alternative? I guess there is a chance that people independently discovered stuff but that's the only thing I can think of.
