Independent
invention is the process by which humans innovate,
creatively finding solutions to problems a mechanism of cultural change.
Faced
with comparable problems and challenges, people in different societies have innovated
and changed in similar ways, which is one reason cultural generalities exist.
One example is the independent invention of agriculture in the Middle East and
Mexico. In both Mexico and the Middle East, agriculture led to many social,
political, and legal changes, including notions of property and distinctions in
wealth, class, and power.
