    What form of encoded human knowledge is more durable than a book? (Not a rhetorical question.)

        Different direction here: knowledge passed down via stories.

        Not well known among many American Christian groups, but... a lot of the Bible, especially most of the Old Testament. What was eventually written down was one version of centuries-old oral tradition.

        I somehow expected responses to be less literal. I've got to put in a vote for something like... vague food recipes (loaf of bread, brisket, daal) or group behaviour concretized in things like signing contracts (the act not the paper) or speaking vows.

        Genomes. Parts of it last on order of 10k years. See ancient DNA. I hope that counts as human knowledge 🙃

        I wouldn't say it counts because learned knowledge isn't inherited. But if you mean things like instincts, then ok.

        Clichés, alas. Half joking, but language even spoken is human encoding.
