@Squadalah_Man@racs@BigTLarrity@matty there is a pretty interesting video talking about why they are like that (mainly Africa). It boils down to "slave trade was so profitable that they spent 300+ years capturing each other to sell as slaves, so they not only got stuck in time as far as cultural advancement goes (because any kind of scholar who was not a warrior was captured and sold as slave), but they also regressed, as they killed/captured and sold all the 'useless' people who couldn't fend for themselves but knew how stuff like 'farming' worked".
