Why haven't African nations or India independently invented carrying straps, or handles yet? Can we gift them this technolgy? Head-carrying cannot be good for their necks
Head trays are technology
why do you think bags/buckets are in so many ancient civilisation iconographies?
it's sacred tech
their inferiority is not because they've missed out on technology or innovations, it's because they don't have the mental ability. If they were truly equal to white society, they'd be capable of building their own wells, pumps, farms, etc.
Same reason why banks still use 40+ year old software, its a depricated technology but the amount of time and effort needed to invest in a new technology is too much. Keep in mind their research level is neolithic, so they get a debuff when trying to discover new technologies.
It's a pretty good way to carry stuff if you can manage to keep it balanced, as the weight is distributed evenly across your whole body.
this, european women used to pay money to go to finishing school where they learn to balance books on their heads, because it teaches good posture and smooth ladylike movement. headbasket black ladies are nice respectable ladies and should be treated as such.
Actually, that's a lot more ergonomic and better for your spine than trying to carry a load of that size in some other way.
It would improve cotton picking efficiency OP, I think you're onto something.
Literally causes severe neck and back issues.

Carrying on the head is an extremely efficient technique, if you can balance it.
The strength of your arms is dwarfed by your back/ neck. An average woman could barely haul their loads for a few hundred metres, and you can imagine straps easily failing here.
They are also good for your posture.
If you have bad posture then yes. If you dont do it right then yes. If too heavy and too long to make you do it wrong then yes. If fat then probably yes.
Sorry if they are in good condition then no. Way more efficient than otherways. Carts with wheels could be better if the land is hard enough. More efficient would be living closer to the need so no need to travel or carry as much.
Straps are bad for backs too
Very nice digits mate, so close yet so far away

Hey Mozumbo, you know how we should transport 50 lbs of apples? Lets put them directly on our heads so that pressure on the neck, which biologically only should hold a 10 lb head.
Truely Wakanda tier technology.
why do these people never suffer back issues despite following what seems to be an unhealthy practice?
Hey Harold, you how we should spend our time? Let's stare, hunched over at an LCD screen for ten hours a day, making us myopic, useless embarrassments of humans that need engineering discs of glass to go grocery shopping instead of spending time outside like we biologically should.
Your spine is a chain that can take the weight.
>worried about their necks
What about their rotator cuffs?
It won't be "your spine", as if your lumbar will take the brunt of this. It will be your C-spine, which holds your head upright, nods it and rotates it.
Nobody would ever fucking recommend holding significant weight on your head. It would have to be perfectly centered, which it wont be, else it would put unnatural pressure on C1 and C2.
C-spine's job is NOT to hold significant load. It's why the C-vertebrae are shaped as they are. Look at the large Lumbar vertebrae, with their huge disks. Those are mean't to hold weight. Do you think the force just magically reaches the lumbar? The spine has 4 curves, it isn't a fucking straight beam.
