Societies that contribute

“There are also human populations distinguished by how little they have contributed. Reports of pre-contact sub-Saharan Africans are consistent: No tribe in that vast area had the wheel, writing, a calendar, or a mechanical device of any kind. Metal working had been introduced from the north, but in all of black Africa there were no two-story buildings and no monuments to compare even with the stone statues of Easter Island. . . Madagascar is 250 miles off the African coast, but Africans never settled it. Instead, it was populated from 3,000 miles away by Southeast Asians who arrived around 500 AD. Africans continue to be largely incapable of absorbing the science and technology of others, and have not added to it.” — Thomas Jackson, “Making Sense of the Past,” American Renaissance, December 2007

“Australian aborigines were even more primitive than Africans when whites first found them. They were living in the old stone age, which is to say they did not work metal and had no domesticated crops. They had invented one thing: the boomerang, which they used as a weapon. The Tasmanians were more primitive still. About 10,000 years ago, when sea levels were lower, Tasmania was connected to Australia. When the ocean rose, the Tasmanians were unable to cross the Bass Strait. During their 10,000 years of separation, they became even more primitive than before: They forgot how to make sewing needles and fishhooks.” — Thomas Jackson, “Making Sense of the Past,” American Renaissance, December 2007


North American aborigines were also living in the Stone Age till 1491. They had no wheel, no metal working culture beyond some native copper. They hadn’t domesticated any animals beyond the dog and had no written language. A few tribes had developed fabrics and were working with clay, but for the most part used skins, stones, bark and wood. They also engaged in inter tribal warfare, torture, slavery and cannibalism. Before humans arrived in North America, there were horses, camels, mammoths, mastodons, American lions, sabre tooth tigers. For some reason they all died. The book 1491 by Charles C Mann is a very good resource and gives some insight as well as asking questions. Some things we may never know.


Pat, it’s 2025, and there’s really no need to falsify history about a people, whom, compared to the rest of the world aren’t particularly advanced, in an effort to further the interest of whites. Written language was found in the horn(geez) and Sudan(meroitic). The mosque of djene(Mali) is higher than 2 stories. Metal working was independently practiced by the NOK culture(Nigeria). This isn’t to state that there’s anything particularly impressive about Africa(frankly, there isn’t). But, with this in mind, there’s also no reason to lie.
