It's rather you saying that considering history Africa and Oceania have been underdeveloped and that's completely wrong. First of all you have to consider the natural environment these people were living in as it seems like to be at least an indicator. Besides, you've missed out that in Africa there had been nations and cultures like Axum, Ghana, Kanem or Songhai. As you've said even the invention of the wheel isn't an indicator for the progressiveness of a culture (e.g. Maya). Just take a look at what the environment has offered to the people and how they used it. There is ofc a clear divide between the northern and southern part of the World but you're just biased about the definition of "progressive".[/quote]
