like yeah there is a lesser need to innovate to survive when you live in pure abundance, like for example the Amazon Natives had way more of a understanding of engineering like doing moats around their settlements and roads but that is because they were in way less habitable place they need this understanding to deal with the amazon rain and the rivers while the costal natives were living in the atlantic forest which is a lot less agressive and there is also a lesser danger from wildlife as there were not many animals that could hurt a man like in the amazon forest so them being just fine hanging makes a lot of sense there is food everywhere you can make multiple camping sites and re-use them when you come back to the area next time, which takes a lot of mapping and knowing about the area to do
