You use the same talking points. You say shit like "europe never developed agriculture" or "europe never developed writing". In Greece and later medieval europe we see innovations that did not exist elsewhere, europeans quickly mastered mechanical devices. Even the poorest villages had a windmill which require efficient precise wooden mechanisms which you only saw in Chinese palaces, they moved on from water clocks to using weights and later pendulums, they understood the foundations of modern physics and applied them. China had a large population for millennia, yet Europe only recently had the heavy plow.

Now you look at this and say "oh, persia invented windmills in the 8th century" or "china had a clock". It is kind of like saying the abacus was the first computer.

Inventions are an indicator. If a region has a high population and ample opportunity to adopt the technology of its neighbors then develop new innovations of its own, yet does not, it speaks volumes. The Celts built large stone edifices and their ruins are everywhere, even from the bronze age, even steppe peoples left burial mounds, yet there are no such large constructions in Africa, Africans never even sailed to Madagascar right next door. For 10000s of years no human ever once managed to make the crossing until humans migrated out of Africa, evolved into another race then sailed back to Africa and encountered this island full of what were effectively giant docile chickens with giant eggs you can just eat with zero effort.
