that's another topic, for sure. but not what I started this thread for.

I think disease was a factor, nearly all of those old diseases came from Africa.

this.
it might be resource rich but it's also inhospitable.
large amounts of the first european settlers in africa were killed by disease, and their livestock too.
then there's other issues like droughts, lack of arable land.
Just because it has tree's and grass doesn't mean it's good for farming. Most parts of africa are notoriously difficult to farm, due to bad soil, hence why the natives can't do it.

I can see the disease argument. There are far too less permanent cold areas, meaning disease rich species have no exchange with disease-hostile, cold areas, resulting in diseases having the change to evolve further more.

But bad soil? In Africa?

Arable land doesn't stay arable for very long in Africa, because the amount of water in an area often moves around a lot unless you're near a notable river or a massive lake. The Sahara desert and the Savanna actually shift around a little bit.
