History actually turns into a pretty uninteresting affair once you learn that the answer to almost any 'why' you can ask is 'agriculture'. The institutionalism of my beloved Catholic church? Can be traced back to agriculture bb.
Too bad that the Africans' hunter gatherer culture was perfectly fine for them.
Africa got unlucky in terms of potentially domesticatable animals, and good crops to start agr with. You can't plow with zebras/water buffalo.
Also from Jared Diamond: "Many herding peoples of Africa and Asia shift camp along
regular seasonal routes to take advantage of predictable seasonal changes
in pasturage. Thus, the shift from hunting-gathering to food production
did not always coincide with a shift from nomadism to sedentary living."
its actually theorized that the reason for that kind of creature and agriculture is due to its stratified climate belts
notice europe and china/japan have big blobs of green and africa and central/south america have a bunch of strips? that causes big shifts in habitability in each region during different times of year, and that leads to much more nomadic animals/people, thus less opportunity to establish larger, stable, and more advanced societies.
Oh of course! There's also the giant desert that kinda makes agriculture difficult. The Nile delta and the things the Egyptians did with it are very interesting. But the agriculture en masse of Europe and Asia left Africa well behind, relatively speaking.

Well that's wrong because millets, sorghum etc have been cultivated in open fields in West Africa since thousands of years before Christ. And when the Bantu expansion happened all of Sub-Saharan Africa had the cultivation of a great variety of crops. Some groups never reached agriculture. But idk where you're coming from saying blacks never reached agriculture.
I tried to link some sources but the bot thought it was a subreddit and didn't let me. Look up the history of agriculture in Africa on Khan Academy and papers on the Bantu expansion I guess.
The rule is that any neolithic group that settles somewhere is either going to practice agriculture or trade with the group that does, like the cattle herding Tutsi with the crop raising Hutu. And even in these cases there are lots of people that do both. Agriculture is a necessity for society and groups that practice it mostly dominate groups that don't through assimilation. Which is why almost all of sub-saharan Africa is bantu dominated.
Pretty sure it’s the Jupiter + Saturn alignment that some people think will cause multiverse transportation and earthquakes and (apparently) give n-words super powers that simply bring them up to the level of everyone else.
As black people, genetically we are stronger and smarter than everyone else, we are more creative, on December 21 our Real DNA will be unlocked and majority will be able to do things that we thought were fiction. Learn who u are as a people 👩🦯 they wanna make us average
stronger and smarter
Imagine saying this when you got bullied and outsmarted by the Portuguese of all people lol
Lmao imagine being so humorless that not only do you not understand certain types of humor, but you actively seek and destroy humor elsewhere that you don't understand. src

Africans had agriculture. Check up the bantu culture.
The real breaker was the wheel.

Uh they were literally so good at hunting they didn't need to invent the wheel. Checkmate agritards.

Are you saying they've never reached it on their own, or weren't the first people to get there?

No you got it backward: it was the Africans who sold the slaves to the Portuguese. Now who's the real sucker?
