Also to clarify, in regards to this question and all questions I ask, me asking a question is not an indication of my personal views on the topic. Researching the thoughts of my followers is very useful regardless of what I think about the topics I'm researching.

Someone once told me a really compelling theory as to why Africa, as a whole, has had so few of it's own advancements.
The basis was lack of horses. No horses means no travel, no travel means no trade, no trade means no sharing of ideas. And that leads to stagnant growth.

I have to say no opinion because these counterfactual discussions are completely useless for dealing with real world issues today. We have no idea what things would be like without slavery. It happened, it helped make the world we have today, so we should start from there.

I think the idea is they would still be in Africa and thus have a lower quality of life
