probably more death world than earth, the gravity and competitive evolution to use bacteria, even if it is "this in a wound gets you sick, it must be dangerous" level of observation, a race that evolved in low visibility like that can very potentially be far more outright dangerous to humans if they cleared out of scanner range before the scanners were in range.

Putting biohazardous material on punji sticks does not require knowledge of bacteria or infections. It simply requires the observation that feces in wounds make you ill. Hunter gatherer tribes use poisons all the time without knowing chemistry or microbiology.

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

True probably The war intent is the same thought

[@Chrisspru]

@@onemoregodrejected9369 indeed. And the iron/ bronze age claim still stands.

[@bendover9813]

But again, hunter gatherer tribes were already in the copper age over 16,000 years, so the stone-age theory still doesn’t really hold. Metal-working of some kind was necessary for the single cut, even if virology isn’t.

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

@@bendover9813 i think is easier to figure out, even if not bacteriology, that a wound that touched excrements will get infected of sorts even if you dont know the medical terms (after all residues are "filthy") than metalwork. Copper age at least it is then. Damn i really wonder how our antecesors figured that one out. But knowing that people *really like to play with fire* is not so hard to figure some madlads trying to feed the fire every thing they came acros until "voilá"
