In europe from a certain point they were pretty much advancing at the same rate throughout the continent, and when europeans encountered africans who had the greater technology? african culture and intelligence weren't inferior, but the absence of technological crutches that allow phyisically weaker europeans to survive did mean that the white gene pool would have been more polluted by unathleticism, whereas blacks would not have had the same advances in medicine and sanitation to allow those with weak constitutions to survive...
You do know what the system of Feudalism entials right?
95% of the population had no access to anything...much less technology that they could use as a "crutch". The very basis of Feudalism was workingto survive.
And are you going to talk about superior technology, medicine and sanitation in "middle age" Europe?
Why do you think they called it the "dark ages"? Medicine and sanitation was virtually non-existant.
Conversely Africans were building Pyramids, performing succesful surgeries, using contracpetives and applying antibiotics thousands of years before thefirst castle was erected..
How old are you kid?
