Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The replacement of wheeled vehicles by camels indicates a cultural loss, where the old technology was no longer used or maintained, and new cultural practices, in this case, the use of camels, took over. It was not a primary invention or secondary invention since the technology for chariots and carts already existed, and camels were already known to be useful for transportation. Diffusion refers to the spread of cultural practices from one group to another, which does not apply here. Revitalization refers to the revival or restoration of an old cultural practice, which also does not apply in this context.
