There's actually some archaeologists/historians who argue early Chinese characters show influence from Cuneiform, and that both show simularities to neolithic protowriting systems in some of their symbols. Unfortunately they publish in french so i cant read their shit yet

Theres also evidence (discussed in above article) that huntergatherers in Europe 40k years ago had a protowriting system as complicated as the very, very early cuneiform writings.
