      Considering that the concept of writing has been invented independently so few times in the world, especially in the form I’m talking about, they are not all over the place.

        So few? There are hundreds of forms of written script. Some are logographic like hieroglyphs, some are syllabary like like Cherokee, some are alphabetic like Arabic.

            Yes, most of those writing systems were developed independently.

            Downvoting someone for asking you a question is pretty childish.
