Reply to comment by Freadus in Knowledge of how to make and use pottery was shared between hunter-gatherer communities in Europe via kinship-driven, regional communication networks prior to the spread of agriculture, a paper in Nature Human Behaviour proposes. by MistWeaver80
How does China get a lot of its advances these days? Maybe guilds weren’t a purely medieval phenomenon? Maybe it was through religious ceremonies and a controlling priest class that was skilled because people supported them with offerings but celibate to control their generational power? Maybe familial relationships are a modern invention post-agriculture?
The obvious is not really obvious. But it’s nice when it lines up.

They could have kidnapped potters.
They could have stolen pre-made pottery exclusively.
They could have solely bartered instead of learning to make their own without kinship being involved.
They could have developed it independently in multiple areas because local soil conditions make clay easily accessible and almost effortless to make.

“Raising kids” can be as small as babysitting for date night. Or allowing someone to borrow a car for a doctor appointment.

Yes and no. Older people that don’t breed help raise younger people and increase their fitness. Or so the theory goes.
