Also, the traditional Chinese wheelbarrow is an example of wheeled transport that doesn't require more than a footpath -- so, I do have doubts about the whole roads and infrastructure theory.

A commencement ceremony turned unruly over the weekend when the keynote speaker, María Elena Salinas, one of the most prominent journalists in Spanish-language news in the U.S., underscored the achievement of the Latinos among graduates and made some remarks in Spanish.
Non-Latino graduates and their guests at California State University, Fullerton’s College of Communications booed the Univision anchor and yelled at her to leave the stage, according to a student who was at the ceremony.
In social media posts following the incident, the Peabody Award-winning journalist said she didn’t notice the uproar and chalked it up to "sad racism on the rise."
One person, whose handle is @JakeHolzschuh, responded on Twitter, “We were upset that your address was aimed at one ethnicity instead of the whole class. Had nothing to do with racism.”
Salinas answered: “Unless you're Native American, we are all from immigrant families.”
The journalist, who is one of Univision’s most prominent anchors, delivered two commencement speeches at Fullerton. One was delivered at the university-wide graduation, where she was given an honorary doctorate, the other at the university’s College of Communications commencement.
In tweets leading up to the ceremonies, Salinas said she was looking forward to addressing the graduates, noting that the university had the largest population of Latino students in the state. The university’s website puts the Latino student population at slightly more than 37 percent.
The second, smaller address was the one that created sparks, according to a first-person account by graduate Denise De La Cruz in the Orange County Weekly.
De La Cruz describes Salinas’ speech as “well received” until the anchor “became a little too Latino-centric and blatantly anti-Trump.”
De La Cruz said that Salinas asked the crowd to repeat some Spanish motivational words after her, parents in the crowd yelled, “What about us?”

“Immigration is an action not a state of being inherited by descendants.”
Well said!
“My peoples.
I think I’ll keep them.”
Our peoples built Western civilization.
The Left is trying to destroy it.
McConnell & Ryan are in on it too.
Absolute and utter ignorance.
Mexicans actually murdered Indians by the tens of thousands, as policy.
It was explained to me that the reason the pre-Columbians never made use of the wheel (and in many cases, never even invented it) was because their continent lacked draft animals to pull carts, so why bother.
I call BS, because those primitive, violent cultures would simply have used their pre-executed prisoners to pull the carts.
punta = puta
B T T T
You're fixing to make one so hang on for your new silliest.
...what about Americans like me who have no one single state to call home?
Ummm...where do you currently live? Which State?
There's your sign.
This war has been relentless for many years.
