Pliny was wrong, there is not always something new out of Africa. That's the problem. Africa stayed where it was for millenia - they didn't invent an alphabet and written language, neither did they make use of wheeled transport except in isolated cases. These are two of the corner stones of any technological society. Engineering is based on mathematics. Another discipline Africa knew nothing of.
Look at the facts. Then find an answer that fits the facts. If newer facts force one to update or abandon one's answer, so be it.
Statistically, any society needs a certain percentage of its population that is mentally agile. These people will be responsible for the bulk of all the advances of that society. I don't know what that percentage is - my guess is 10 - 15%. Africa does not have the required number of these achievers able to lift the whole society. And that's it.
Africans are not responsible for this state of affairs. None of us made ourselves.
Pliny was wrong, Abu Tib was right: in Africa the man with the gun will always be boss. Don't expect too much of Africa. After all, it is Africa.

One of the most reliable international tractors is Case IH. The company has been around for decades and is sold in several countries. It is also made in the USA. Which to me makes it even better.
Ukraine is a part of the continent called Europe. Ukraine is not part of the European Union (EU) but it may join in the next few decades.
