What is the oldest expertise that's been passed down from person to person? Is there a chain for flint-knapping for example?

Do you think it beats walking though? That's the best answer I've seen so far on this thread.

I know too little about that. But I would think humans would learn to walk without that expertise being ‘passed down from person to person’.
-
I'd guess that our kind of walking co-evolved with teaching it.

Good point! Once we go down that route we get to monkeys teaching each other or even much further. https://www.nwf.org/News-and-Magazines/National-Wildlife/Animals/Archives/2015/Animal-Teaching.aspx …pic.twitter.com/qNOsLtWbwe

Hmmm.. that seems like more of a discovery unless it's more sophisticated : having a scout followed by a backup with supplies, etc.

Basic tool crafting might supersede complex applications of tools (or other complex processes)

Probably simple identification of safe plants to eat came before that

The interesting thing is, things like tool use or even managing fire outdate our own species. The oldest expertise is older than humanity.

Ability to tell stories that connect to people outside of the patriarch. This is a blind spot for tech patriarchs. Esp when tech+psych
