Why is Africa technologically behind?

Asked by antimatter (4424points) May 26th, 2009

I went to a museum in South Africa where they compared European technological advances with African advances as from the last five hundred years. And I was socked to see that even two hundred years ago Africa was still in the Iron Age! So does that mean that Africa simply can’t contribute anything to world? And how did Europeans became more advanced than Africans seeing that Europeans and other nations invented about everything in this world?
