Landbouw was nog niet uitgevonden in Afrika, dat hebben die gemene kolonisten ze geleerd.
dat kan je niet menen. De landbouw bestond er al 6000 jaar!
By 7000 BC, sowing and harvesting reached Egypt. By 6000 BC, farming was entrenched on the banks of the Nile River. About this time, agriculture was developed independently in the Far East, with rice, rather than wheat, the primary crop. By 5000 BC, Sumerians had developed core agricultural techniques including large scale intensive cultivation of land, mono-cropping, organized irrigation, and use of a specialized labour force.
Evidence suggests that maize was first domesticated in the Americas around 3000-2700 BC. The potato, the tomato, the pepper, squash, several varieties of bean, and several other plants were also developed in the New World, as was extensive terracing of steep hillsides in much of Andean South America.
Roman agriculture built on techniques pioneered by the Sumerians, with a specific emphasis on the cultivation of crops for trade and export.
Agriculture in the Middle Ages
During the Middle Ages, Muslim farmers in North Africa and the Near East developed and disseminated agricultural technologies including irrigation systems based on hydraulic and hydrostatic principles, the use of machines such as norias, and the use of water raising machines, dams, and reservoirs. Muslims also wrote location-specific Farming manuals, and were instrumental in the wider adoption of crops including sugar cane, rice, citrus fruit, apricots, cotton, artichokes, aubergines, and saffron. Muslims also brought lemons, oranges, cotton, almonds, figs and sub-tropical crops such as bananas to Spain.

het zijn dus de europeanen die het van de noord-afrikanen hebben geleerd!
Denk dat we maar beter een Czar Bomba op Afrika deponeren als ze toch niets willen, niks kunnen en niks doen.
