There are some simple litmus tests. Can a group of people build and run a modern city? Can they even maintain one if they take it over?

Just compare Singapore to Lago, for example.

“And there were no great black African civilizations.”\\

Wasn’t it ‘LOUIE the LIP furrycan’ who claimed NUBIANS were the real rulers of Egypt and created all those wunnerful buildings and stuff???

Actually there were, but long ago before the coming of the Portuguese in 1460 and the introduction of firearms. They were far in advance of the European nations of the time, but rapidly fell apart with the introduction of European diseases - mainly syphilis. The cities were built from wood and decayed back to jungle in a few short years.

The Malinese empire and the following Songhai empire would beg to differ.
