Really it is a large mixing of factors but I really don't feel like typing out things you can research but I will provide some points.
>1
It wasn't as backwards as you think. I mean they were backwards compared to the the Eurasian socities but so were the Americans, Aboriginals, Polynesians and steppe people.
>2
There seems to be several biological and geographic features that made it difficult for agriculture to spread to Africa
>3
Now as far as nother developing their own agricultural systems I will let you decide between the two main poasibivilities. One the africans were too dumb to do it. Two their was unsuitable animals and plant to do it.

The colder areas of the world encourage nation building, large scale cooperation and agriculture.
Agriculture leads to the division of labour.

Any development made just stopped and shit was like a time capsule until independence and essentially having to start from the mid-late 1800's worst nation of West Europe at best (Portugal maybe?

This capacity is also used extremely inefficiently. I calculate in my book that if we assume that Africans have the same access to food as all other humans. African farm productivity is only about 25% of the farm productivity of the rest of the world. This is clearly not so, therefore African Farmland productivity is even worse than 25% of world farmland productivity.

It was the first time that the semi-mythic gold of the Sudan reached Europe without Muslim mediation. Most of the slaves were sent to Madeira, which became, after thorough deforestation, the first European plantation colony. Between 1444 and 1447, the Portuguese explored the coasts of Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea. In 1456, the Venetian captain Alvise Cadamosto, under Portuguese command, explored the islands of Cape Verde. In 1462, two years after Prince Henry's death, Portuguese sailors explored the Bissau islands and named Serra Leoa (Lioness Mountains).

You don't understand the hypocritical and contradictory nature of your own left wing ideology. Now you wish to discuss something 'real' about Africa prior to European colonization. 'Africa' as a place was created by other races as they came into contact with that continent and the creatures that inhabited it. There was no Africa until Europeans arrived with their science and literature.

something to do with lack of neanderthal/denisovan DNA in the native population

it is neither climate - as comparable temperatures can be observed in south america and south-east asia, nor it is geography as trade routs were present for exchange of ideas and goods, it is not the flora and fauna as africa is diverse enough to provide different starting conditions

so in the end what is left is the people inhabiting the continent

god damn Madagascar was settled about 2000-1800 years ago by god damn south east asians - it was right next to the africans for few hundred thousand years of homo-sapians history and they never bothered to settle it

It just makes sense!

>>2376439
1. Isolation
The Sahara being the biggest geographic barrier discouraged trade in large volumes beyond the North African coast. Yes there were caravans that would cross the desert to trade with Timbuktu and other trading posts, but not in a large enough volume as the Mediterranean region enjoyed.

Next option other than crossing the desert was sailing along the African coast, again not many people did this in large enough volumes to make a huge impact. With trade with other regions of the world restricted, there were fewer exchanges of ideas and goods.

2. Bad native crops
Most common staple crop in Sub-Saharan Africa is Sorghum, which is fine but it doesn't grow as easily or provide as many nutrients as Wheat, plenty of civilizations in the area didn't see cultivating sorghum as even worth it and continued being hunter-gatherers.

3. Navigability
Africa has a lot of barrier restricting contact between people-groups between the Desert and the African Rainforest, where making the trip to other cities/states was both long and very dangerous. So small regions tended to remain isolated as trying to cross from, say Nigeria to Kenya involves crossing the rainforest where disease would likely claim you before you get there.

It also isn't to say all of Sub-Saharan Africa was cursed with this. Ethiopia managed to benefit from trade up and down the Nile River. The Swahili states along East Africa enjoyed healthy trade and development with the Arab world, albeit not to the same levels as Mediterranean Europe.

Niggers.

>>2377824
Thanks Jared.

>>2377824

the americas did not trade with other places for the majority of their history and still developed sophisticated civilizations so, in both isolation and navigability africa is similar with the americas yet, lacks behind them

as for bad native crops, seeds and knowledge to plant them was available to africa via trade routs for few thousand years - compared with the native amercans who developed agriculture on their own and cultivated half of the worlds edible everyday plants

Every other race of peoples figured out this civilization shit. Arabs, Asians, "white" people, brown people, you could even say native americans had it figured out to an extent.

If we're taking the genetic origin for this behavior (Warrior Gene Variant) then only 5% have them. It's the same gene that correlates with violent behavior in other groups too. They have more, so far as we know only three groups were tested to my knowledge, but most don't.

They share no similarities and individuals do not matter, the DNA of the smart negro decides his capacity as seen in the capacity of the negro race, likewise with the DNA of the white race.

Smart and dumb are just individual expressions which are very irrelevant, only it allows the potential to carry out racial potential.

Joking aside, it's unclear if it was independent or carried to them by traders from North Africa.

Never mind I found it
>The distribution of the D allele of microcephalin is high outside Africa but low in sub-Saharan Africa, which further suggest that the admixture event happened in archaic Eurasian populations.[18] This distribution difference between Africa and Eurasia suggests that the D allele originated from Neanderthals.[19]
>However, a 2010 study found that a Neanderthal individual from the Mezzena Rockshelter (Monti Lessini, Italy) was homozygous for an ancestral allele of microcephalin, thus providing no support to the theory that Neanderthals contributed the D allele to modern humans but does not exclude a possibility of a Neanderthal origin of the D allele.[19]

Language is socially constructed.
Time is a concept expressed, formed and propagated through language.
There are multiple meanings of time.
Passage of time.
Ages
increments.

Why do the left persist in circulating these utter lies and distortions? This isn't even a language, merely some childish symbols written on a rock a few centuries ago.

It reminds me of the Ishango bone, lefties actually tried to argue that it demonstrated Africans invented the first calculator. A fucking bone with a few scratches on it!

>, and possibly as far back as the 5th century AD. The writing on the Ikom monoliths is sometimes taken to be nsibidi,[14] which would push the date back to 2000 BCE. Some believe it dates back as far as 5000 BCE

>>2376439
My answer is the Atlantic slave trade.
Key thing to understand is that Africans sold other Africans into slavery. Initially it was the kings who sold their enemy PoWs into slavery. They also sold criminals into slavery. That meant eventually kings and aristocrats began to frame innocent people and sold them as "criminals."
You do that for 300 years and you are gonna wreck your own society.

If there was any way to get out of this, I think it would have been for them to manufacture their own guns. (So that the African kings didn't need to sell slaves to buy the guns.)
But for whatever reason, they couldn't make guns or gunpowder and had to rely on imports.
