Also in Turkey is Çatalhöyük. Fascinating early attempt at a city. Lots of homes, but no streets between them. One's east wall was also one's neighbours west wall and so on. How did one commute? One climbed out a trapdoor in the ceiling and skipped across the rooftops.
That seems odd to us, but they seemed quite content with the arrangement.
I still think the all time winner so far is the Mungo peoples of Australia. ca. 40,000 or more years ago they were sailing oceans with amazing aplomb.
Alas, we cannot investigate them anymore because "religious reasons".
