Bridges

No, not Beau Bridges you idiot, regular bridges!


Here's the thing about Civilization... From what I understand you reproduce a whole bunch and have your children grow up and become grown humans. You all work together, plant seeds, breed livestock and basically obliterate your parcel of land for all the resources it has. Then you build roads so you can sell your apples and pigs to neighbouring villages and then those roads need to cross a river because there's better grain on the other side maybe, so you need to build passageways everywhere all around the world so that civilization can function, or something.

Right, so basically you need to build bridges spanning these physical obstacles. And then cities emerged and these incredible bridges got built.





Bridges.

Bridges part 2: A Bridge 2 Far

And to prevent inbreeding, maybe one of your villager sons will meet a neighbouring village's daughter and they will have a shitload more kids and they will spread out geographically and dilute the gene pool or something. Then they will dig deep into the soil and begin working with harder minerals to make stone buildings and metal weapons and many wars will be won and lost and many men will die probably then different areas in the world will be explored using ships and stuff. Then other stuff would happen, and different languages would form, and shit like science and medicine, and different cultures would influence and conquer one another and the world will be eventually be entirely consumed by the human race.

And at the end of it all, the only thing still standing will be the Bridges.
