Original Note:
The opinion expressed here implies that Africa had no culture or technology before european colonization, which is untrue. There were kingdoms and empires before (Egypt, Aksum, Rwanda...) and iron metallurgy was developed there 1000 years before it arrived in Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_kingdoms_in_Africa_throughout_history https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Africa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_metallurgy_in_Africa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Age_Europe
