How geography doomed Africa

[Smeagol]

More like how the average IQ of Africans doomed Africa.

No, there was constant migration at the time. The early farmers in Turkey moved into Europe and were identical to them, we both have ancestry from such farmers. That’s how farming was established in Europe. Those people mixed with hunter gatherers and later steppe people to create modern Europeans. So Europe had farming, one could say, before white people even existed.

Took thousands of years for it and the farming practices to reach Europe, first in the South then migration North.

I don’t know how long it took but it was not more than a few thousand probably

Oldest agrarian cultures, last time I checked, was probably Turkey 9000-11000 BC (or just say near East or Middle East).
Then in Europe 4000-5000 years later.

Anyways as I posted earlier you had ancient cultures, independent of each other on different continents, that created various agrarian and farming methods. Large portions of SSA has excellent climate and geography for large scale agriculture and farming.

Farming developed in temperate zones like Turkey and China then spread to warmer regions.

You said earlier it spread to Europe which is no warmer than Turkey or China. Why does it matter where is spread to?

Early Anatolian farmers were genetically different than Natufians.

Sardinians are the closest people to Neolithic Anatolians, Spaniards come second, and then rest of Europeans. They weren't genetically Turkish or Middle-Eastern.

Africans' technological outcome is a coincidence of history.

It seems you are misunderstanding the nuance of what has happened. I am saying that there was a low chance for agriculture to start in Africa(due to the climate being too hot and not temperate like other areas) and also not much chance of it spreading either(as a result of the Sahara desert). Both factors are reasons why there was no agriculture prior to late contact with outsiders.

I am aware.

Exactly, and while one can make arguments about "IQ" or whatever, they also have to realize that intelligence level is also a historical outcome. I dont know why that is so controversial.
