Everyone is not the same ...
The parents of a friend of mine have done peace corps work in Africa. In one village the father made a tire swing which the people enjoyed. Every time it broke he would hang it up again while the people watched. So the parents left for a long time - like maybe a year or two - and when they came back they saw that the tire swing had broken again and the rope and tire were laying on the ground. Not one person had the initiative to throw the rope over a limb and tie it to the tire.
i think most of the less passive people migrated north out of Africa a long long time ago.
