No, its not.

There's about 20 threads on here from before you showed up. I dont want to go into it yet again but your 1950s version of ancient western world is bunk. Rome didn't invent anything, and greece probably didn't either.

North Africans can be associated with the rest of the Mediterranean when it comes to development.

This is a broad generalization. At least the Mediterranean should be divided into north/south regions.

On topic, I think that the narrow shape of Africa and the abundance of survival material are some of the reasons you inquire about. Additionally, writing or civilization more broadly aren't an absolute mean of judgment. Another more useful metric could be something related to survival which "civilization" does not guarantee. Let's not forget that most of the evolution towards "civilization" was done in Africa.

It resembles the movies Terminator or Matrix. We created the machines, after the machines want to exterminate or enslave us.
We created the letters, now the letters have their own life and want to exterminate or enslave us.

I want mention Voltaire, but sometimes I feel myself like the Milky Way, going to nowhere direction, confusing means with objectives.
