Discussion
Which word best describes the traditional knowledge of communities accumulated over several generations ?
Answer: A
The best word is folk wisdom.
Folk wisdom is the practical knowledge, beliefs and sayings of a community, handed down from generation to generation, often by word of mouth. That is exactly traditional knowledge accumulated over generations.
Experience belongs to an individual and is gained in one lifetime. Farsightedness is the ability to plan for the future, and intelligence is a mental capacity; neither describes knowledge shared and inherited by a community.
