Neo-Nazi Blows His Top

Ok, first, everything Patooka just said.

Second... Technological+economic growth is logarithmic, and accelerates over time. The earlier stages of development rely on accidental factors, and later stages rely on the completion of earlier stages.

In many ways, the relative ease with which humans lived in Africa made a lot of those earlier technological advances less necessary, too.

It all comes down to infrastructure and education (which is arguably a form of infrastructure).

So, socioeconomic factors

Africans live in ease? Well, you are contradicting other leftists who claim "Africans live in horrible conditions! The land is too dry!"

Yes. In ease, compared to literally anyone in the stone age who lived in an adverse environment.

Also, the environment has changed over a very short timescale, largely because of human activity in the last 2000 years.

Living in Africa, you wouldn't need as a species to invent advanced insulated shelter, warm clothing, irrigation, etc.. it comes down to a large number of technologies that just weren't necessary to maintain a way of life in the region. People develop the technologies they need to maintain their way of life in the place they live.

Of course, you would understand this if you spent any time studying anthropology.

But of course you fail to understand the timescales and periods in play here.

Look at California. Warm year round. They developed. :shrug:

I know I shouldn't keep just shaming Underseer's parody bot, but here goes:

The people who came to california didn't come empty handed, neither the native residents or the European settlers. They brought infrastructure with them, from the East the original settlers brought all the technologies and lessons it took to traverse the cold Asian climate across ice bridges in the ice age; with the European settlers, they brought all the technology it took to survive in the climates of Europe. They brought the majority of societal infrastructure with them.

Again, you fail to understand. It's a theme by now, I know, but it would be nice if you weren't QUITE so bad at it
