That is a very narrow view of history. Not incorrect, necessarily, but also not the full picture. This is only correct if you’re looking at history from that very western-centric lens that starts with Egypt (for some reason), then goes into Greece, Rome, and then 1-2-skip a few, and a neat little line into the Renaissance and then the “age of exploration”. But that wasn’t most of the world, that was pretty much just Europe.

Well, it is a quote by Kurt Vonnegut, born, lived, died in the USA, so there's that.
