What historians say this? The term of "advanced" is simply a concept. Whats more advanced in the desert? A cell phone or dog that can locate water?Historians say so because it's true. Pop your head out of your racist ass and think about it for a second. Written languages go back 6,000 years at least and the cultures that had one advanced, went through the bronze age, built machines, architecture, etc. Writing preserves knowledge and passes it on. Look at the native Americans and Africans, never got past stone and wood tools. And were easily defeated with metal tools, carts and superior tactics.Who told you that advanced meant you had written languages? If that is so then whites were not advanced until taught to write.All advanced civilizations had/have a written language. The indians were a stone age people no matter how you try to spin it. There's no written history, they simply didn't develop for some reason.Another means of nonlinguistic communication among many of the indigenous North Americans was sign language, consisting of gestures with the hands and arms. One advantage of sign language was that it made communication possible among Native American groups having different languages. In addition, smoke signals were used by some Native Americans to convey information, but they were capable only of giving simple messages, such as "enemies in the area" or some previously agreed-upon message.
