In great words of the late Dr. Clarke, " no evidence, no argument". Does not matter if you agree or not, if you have no conceptual framework or evidence that disproves him and many other historians who have research that comes to the same conclusion, you have zero argument. Always be mindful of the context in which something is being discussed. You can not pull out his two cradle theory and take it out of context and then have issues with it……
Cheikh Anta Diop, Skillful historian. picked a side and and was heavily bias.
I agree 100% with Cheikh Anta Diop. The environment plays a significant role in shaping ones behavior and overall personality. A perfect example would be a British couple (white) having a child on the Island of Jamaica. Providing that the child is allowed to freely interact with the general public, that child will in fact sound and express a mannerism similar to that of his surrounding. In other words, he would be indistinguishable from the rest of Jamaican society; except for his skin color.
Walter Rodney and Sheik Anta Diop have given good theories. While at first glance those theories seem to support an pro-African vision, the contrary however is closer to reality. Both are firmly entranced in Western concepts, Walter Rodney in Marxism and Diop in French Colonial Academia. They are both apologist, trying to overcome some pre-conceived African inferiority towards the superior western civilization model.
Both have merit on secondary points.
However, the paramount explanation is that the West/Eur-Asia has a innately more aggressive and savages mature in succumbing, killing and subjugate other peoples (2% neanderthaler DNA, maybe) and that Africa has been conquered and continued to be conquered because of their unwilling to face the those invaders, to the point that they have become seemingly permanent slaves of the peoples.
A similar meme can be found in the Hebrew Israelite explanation of the bible, as a eternal struggle between Gods Kingdom of Heaven and Satans Empire on earth (consecutively Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, Greek-Hellenistic Empire, Roman Empire (Holy Roman Empire, Britain (Pax Brittanica), America (USA Pax Americana and finally the Empire of the Anti-Christ, Israel (fake Jews -Pax Judaica).
The representative of Kingdom of Heaven being in continual disobedient to heavenly rules and therefor punished to serve under Satans Empire. However to understand this, one has to understand Africa/black people as consisting of two different group of peoples, Hamites and Shemites. One of the biggest lie perpetuate is the lumping in one of all peoples of this vast continent Africa, named after the Roman, Leo Scipius Africanus.
I dont agree with this theory. A more comprehensive explanation is in the book "Guns steel and germs" It was the enviroment itself and access to certain types of cattle for agriculture that explains the difference in production. To claim that because europe was cold, and that bread in the white man a need for conquest sounds absurd, and ridiculous.
Quiet a bit of what Diop said is false especially about conquest, how did empires the size of Western Europe in West Africa if Africans were fighters. If anything he is wrong in that aspect, in fact Egypt invaded Eurasia way before any white people existed in the region. The Kingdom of Oyo was particularly war orientated, so were the neighbour the Ashanti, it is only are European subjugation that the warrior spirit died down, after Europeans brainwashing the masses and bringing in fake Europhilic versions of Christianity.
It is really the nomadic invader side that made Eurasian society different, instesd of fighting neighbouring groups they have a parasitic nature where they aim to feed of any and everything, leave no stone untouched so to speak. Most time they didn't even invade, they just migrated then when they mixed enough and got their numbers up they went full throttle. Even the modern Western Europeans who are mostly descendants of the latest wave of whites the Germanics, they never invaded Rome per say they were invited in a mercenaries.
As far as i am concerned, the theory, while it has a few flaws, is sound. This video on the geopolitical history of Russia demonstrates it effectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE6rSljTwdU.
I agree with everything that Cheikh Anta Diop says in this book. He also breaks down the the different types of nation states in other book 'Civilization or Barbarism" . A white author named Michael Bradley even wrote the book 'Iceman Inheritance' that totally goes in line with this excerpt. Michael Bradley used a lot of anthropology, archeology, DNA etc to back up his claims. The harsh conditions were largely responsible for the viscous nature. It's the reason why Europe went from 10 centuries of feudalism in the Dark ages, to 400 plus years of plundering, conquest and enslaving.
Bro did you watch big foot capture live on history channel
You should do some book reviews, particullarly the two books mentioned before. It would nice to see a detailed review of books from our own scholars
There 's truth in the theory as geography helps create a peoples socio-economic patterns and outlook. It's a bit too simplistic to label all African cultures as peaceful though it is true that the industrialisation of conflict wasn't a priority across the continent. Scarcity does define the european however, the fervent belief that there isn't enough for everyone still underpins european thinking to this day and is best illustrated by the nonsense oil companies spout about dwindling supply. The panic caused by scarcity must be maintained even if it's an illusion…
