Personally I think cultural advances have something to do with climate change and the 4 seasons and war, lots of war. War makes advances in technology that advance civilization. Africa has far less "war" history than Europe. That doesn't mean tribes didn't fight, they did, but not nearly to the extent that Europe did.
I don't say this to make some claim that Europeans are better than Africans, what I am saying is that because Europeans fought amoung them selves so often and on such a large scale that techology and civiliation lept forward for them out of nessecity. If it hadn't Europeans would prolly be extinct, they almost wiped themselves out at least three different times as it is.
There is far more white blood on the hands of whites than any other. Read the history of Europe, the 100 years war, the 30's war, Nepolean, Franco /Prussian war, Rome the barbarians. I'm celt heritage myself, we contributed "berzerkers". Nutjobs with an battle axe basically. Do you really want to send Africa through such a crucible? European dark Ages weren't called that because they didn't have electricity.

No matter what the reasons are, the world is the way it is. Europeans emerged dominant after the Dark Ages. If you look at Africa now, there are berserkers with cheap AKs.
I believe that there were a few empires in Africa, but they could not compare to or compete with European or Asian empires. As far as King Solomon or any other Bible characters, I don't know if they even existed.
In this world, Europeans ARE better than Africans, like it or not. As a person of African descent, and a person that wish that I could go back to Japan and be a hit with the ladies, I don't like it one bit. If I were a White dude, I'd love the work of my ancestors and reap the benefits of being a White man.
