Civilopedia entry[]
Humans have fished with hooks and harpoons since nearly the origin of our species. Fishing became essential for many early settlements along coasts and rivers. As we developed larger and more capable boats – a feature of societies from Mesopotamia to aboriginal Australia to the New World – fishermen could leave the shoreline and pursue larger catches. Such technologies necessitated centers, places where boats could dock and unload their harvests, as well as repair and store watercraft. These wharves – or “quay” (pronounced to rhyme with “key”) – allowed for the distribution of fish beyond individual consumption, provided increased productive specialization, and furthered the development of early cities.
