| Jan 21, 2021 at 17:07 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | Many Western nations intentionally created economic and diplomatic dependencies that forced large portions of Africa into situations where they could not industrialize with the rest of the world. While other colonized regions like the US, Australia, and the Far East resisted and established their own industrial capabilities, much of Africa is still reliant on 1st-world handouts that make establishing industrial self-sufficiency impossible. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 17:07 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @ArashHowaida Africans have been domesticating animals since ~3000 B.C. In reality, the stagnation of civilization on that continent is a relative new problem. In the Classical world, Africa was home to some of the world's most advanced civilizations including Egypt and Carthage. Then in the Medieval Period, Muslim expansionism into Africa brought a huge surge in scientific activity with it. Africa did not really become a significantly "primitive" place until recent history with Colonialism. | |
| Jan 21, 2021 at 0:05 | comment | added | Arash Howaida | @Nosajimiki Animal husbandry could be a viable solution.. but I don't know if it's true that some animals cannot be domesticated. If memory serves me correctly that Gun, Germs and Steel book made an argument along those lines as to why Africa was slow to develop. | |
| Jan 20, 2021 at 16:06 | comment | added | Nosajimiki | @ArashHowaida I see, so are your troglodytes capable of basic animal husbandry, or does the mystery source of energy prevent concentrated populations of animals from being artificially cultivated? | |
| Jan 20, 2021 at 0:13 | comment | added | Arash Howaida | @Nosajimiki I just mean there is not an abundance of troglopauna. While there is certainly more than needed to keep the race alive, the animals are not that numerous that their acquisition is trivial. | |
