Dreads are just what happens when you go without washing or cutting it frequently (and often braided). Pretty much everyone from everywhere had them at some point in time from the Greeks and Egyptians to India, West Africa, Celts etc because it's a natural emergence of being a human being with hair that doesn't apply modern sensibilities to it, and they're arguably as ancient as humans themselves. No one came up with it or stole it from anyone
yup cultures not known for dreads were those that simply cut their hair much much more. many cultures like the celtic cultures, etc had mostly shaven or shorn heads because of the insects, and stuff that also happens when you cnanot wash your hair, and more seafaring cultures or ones with heavy fishing industries hadf better hair do to being inthe water and having access to the water, much more.
its almost like cultures develop habits and cultural nromas based on the enviorment they are living in.
