developed independently
Correct answer:
developed independently
Explanation:
Separated by thousands of miles and vast oceans, Mesoamerica and Mesopotamia both developed writing systems independent from one another. They were not aware of each other, and certainly didn't cooperate or fight. The evolution of writing was largely a result of agriculture and the need to keep records of surplus.
