Man is also a branch of life on the earth, in fact, is also classified into the life system, and the only existing species in the "human genus", that is, the so-called "Homo sapiens", so Homo sapiens is also known as the common ancestor of today's human beings, and the "species" of Homo sapiens is actually divided, in the long historical changes, because of the geography and historical development, the current human race is also divided into four major human races, namely yellow people, white people, black people and brown people. The corresponding continents are roughly Asia, Europe, Africa and the United States. But there has always been a question that has plagued people, that is, why has the black race not been able to build a good civilization and a powerful empire?
This question has indeed been discussed by many philosophers and writers and sociologists of all time, both ancient and modern. Specifically, the yellow race has a great civilization empire such as the Chinese civilization. The white race, on the other hand, had the Roman Empire and modern civilization. The brown race, on the other hand, had an ancient civilization like the Mayan civilization. In the history of mankind, whether ancient or modern, there is no record of the excellent civilization and powerful empire of the Blacks.
Why can't black people create a strong civilization with strong physical qualities?
But what is puzzling is that the physical quality of the black race is actually the strongest among the four major races. This can be borrowed from today's black athletes, most of the world's more intense sports, black athletes are often discipline maintainers, and in some fitness enthusiasts, most of them are also black, black physique is not need to be repeated, they are indeed strong, lean appearance, contains a huge amount of physical strength and strength. And such physical conditions, placed in the era of cold weapons, should become a brave and good general, but in fact, the countries in the African region rarely appear, let alone travel to foreign territories. So this makes many people wonder why black people can't create another "Chinese civilization.". For this point, some experts have proposed three reasons.
First, sub-Saharan Africa lacks the "cradle of civilization"
The first reason stems from the watershed. Most of the world's most powerful civilizations actually rely on the innate foundation of the river basin. Including the emergence of the four ancient kingdoms, it is actually such a manifestation. Ancient Indians originated in the Indus Valley, ancient Babylonians originated in the Two Rivers Valley, ancient Egyptians originated in the Nile River Basin, and ancient Chinese originated in the Yellow River Basin. The river basin is the cradle of human civilization, but unfortunately, the black ethnic settlements south of the Sahara rarely have such a long line of watershed support.
Second, African civilization has never been recognized by facts in history
The second point comes from culture. Although there is no strong civilization, in fact, Africa has a special number of tribes, and some relatively small civilizations and cultures have been born, but such civilizations and cultures are not recognized by mainstream ideas. As a case of Modern African History, Basil Davidson commented on Africa, saying bluntly: "Africans have never developed their own civilizations." In his view, because of the time gap and because of the limited productivity, Africans could not assemble a large empire, and naturally no recognized civilization appeared.
Third, the Negro lacked a sense of identity, did not have a figure who integrated the empire, and was separated from each other
And this third point comes from a sense of identity. For the vast African land, Africans do not have a high sense of cultural identity, and each tribe only believes in its own primitive gods. This is quite similar to our ancient division of hundreds of tribes, a tribe has a tribal totem, but there is no "Huaxia tribe" in Africa that can integrate other tribes and create a "Yangshao culture" and "Longshan culture", and thus originate to form a "Huaxia Dynasty". Physical fitness may be strong, but black Africans lacked the emergence of forward-looking historical figures, coupled with the arrival of later Westerners, so there was no strong civilization born.
