Someone wrote: "1) A culturally unevolved and technologically primitive people", unaware that the African peoples of West Africa were literate, most of the north monotheistic, and sophisticated in commerce.
Someone should have limited "2" to a "tremendous demand by Africans for European [manufactured] goods", primarily firearms.
Somone should have realized that European kings were as willing as "African kings to use people as currency" for imperial power.
Someone is unbalanced in describing the relationship of Europe to Africa.
