Considering all the civilizations that have ever been, has there ever existed any without some form of writing or mathematics? (Mayan, Incan, Aztec, Chinese, Hindu, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Sumerian etc.)

I'd say it depends firstly on what you count as writing and also on what you count as a civilization. All hunter-gatherer tribes back to the branching of our species? I dunno... try sifting through this cool stuff:shrug:

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
