why do you think the europeans were more advanced than the africans?

Answer 1

because the Europeans had guns. that's about it, really. there were great civilizations in Africa. these days there are a lot of parts of Africa that are in grinding poverty, though. things are much worse in those places than they are in Europe. plus the fact that there are entire peoples being erased by AIDS in Africa.

back in the colonial days I think another thing that went wrong for Africa was that the Europeans had a better understanding of what the global market they were trading in was about. the two continents were trading on a global scale. with each other, with tasia, and with the new world. but the Africans often didn't quite realize the value of the capital they traded in to quite the same degree as Europeans.

Africa invented human capital. without that contribution a liberal free market society never would have been possible. wbhile to a certain extent the idea of assigning a monetary value to a working persons life and economically plotting the worth of mans time has had its benefits, especially in Europe and the new world, it has never worked to the benefit of Africans. they should never have started exporting human labour. that was one of the most disastrous moves ever committed by any group of humans ever, and a lot of the suffering and impoverished social conditions that exist in Africa today can be credited to the existence of human capital.

Answer 2

hmmmm, perhaps it is because the Europeans wrote the books while being busy selling africans as animals, and africans had to become strong without the help of dominating others but developing self. I think you are getting your info from a biased or ignorant source and you need to become more educated in the area in which you question and assume.

Answer 3

I think it was because the Africans were following their tribal ways, doing everything the same way it had been done before, but the Europeans had to settle their lands which meant they had to cope with more adversity than the Africans. This adversity led them to change the ways they did things and allowed them to develop their cultures

Answer 4

this question takes with no attention that Asians, Africans, Australians and local human beings fell at the back of the Europeans. that's the end results of a theory held via the successive ecu colonial Empires. that's plenty from being actual. permit me supply some examples. in terms of water conservation, an important section, that's been shown via Anupam Mishra, from the Gandhi Peace beginning up, that Indian concepts grown in Rajasthan over the centuries haven't any equivalent interior the western international. they're concepts to "harvest the rain" in a area which gets the least rainfall in India. The language has forty diverse words to call clouds. in terms of recruitment of administrative cadres, the gadget of examination first submit via the chinese language Empire replaced into emulated via all ecu international places, and now the the ecu, via autonomous India or perhaps via the U. S.. in terms of food, the tomato replaced into chanced on in 1519 via Cortez in Montezuma's gardens and seeds have been extra decrease back to Europe the place they have been planted as ornamental curiosities, yet no longer eaten.
