Talk:Neolithic decline

"ago"
1. "ago" is for children, not for serious historians. 2. A population decline "between five and six thousand years ago (approximately 3000 BC)" - who writes such a nonsense? 3. And obviously, the writer of these excerpts did not understand these informations himself, being not aware of the contradiction in the third para with "rapid growth between 5950 - 5590 BP". 4. All this is obviously taken from, and caused by, the 2019 Rascovan paper with its confused and slovenly mixture of "ago", "BP", "kyr (in the sense of "ago"!). 5. Rascovan et al. tell us an "invention" of the wheel. The wheel was never "invented", but develloped from toy wheels to ever bigger applications over hundreds of years (see. Holm 2019, or Klimscha 2017). Cruelly!2A02:8108:9640:AC3:6131:BC9E:A2BC:B964 (talk) 07:14, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

How much of a decline?
This is a valuable article, but it never gives an estimate of how much the population declined, and whether this was world-wide, only in densely populated areas or everywhere. Paulmlieberman (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
