East Africans, Southern Arabs and bantus as the lowest classes

the caliphate of omar basically owned that land

wait, might have the wrong name

hold up

Sultanate of Oman is what you're looking for

But yeah you're right

@English Pirate yes

thank you

alright even if supposedly natufians were in every society it doesn't mean that their genetics were directly responsible for all of it.

@Fidel Castro no one is saying every society, just the civilized african ones

i said 'even if'

like this is easy bro, just check if they spoke Niger Congo linear A, Niger Congo Linear B or an Afro-Asiatic language

the majority of them are Afro-asiatic and that isnt just by chance

only mali empire was truly SSA

aha what about hungary

and even then it was mostly a trade empire

what about hungary?

hungarian language is not afro-asiatic

no shit

its turkic

Uralic

But ye

yup ^

i always forget when it comes to Hungary

uralic people need to pick indo-european or turkic

theyre like the barely noticeable person that sits in the back

well hungary had civilization despite not speaking afro-asiatic. Plus hungarans weren't very ethnically different from others in the area

@Fidel Castro why dont you understand?

were not saying all civilizations are from the natufians, just that all the african civilizations of any notability are

sorry if i'm misunderstanding you

Europe is predominately indo-european due to the yamnaya expansion

>all african civilizations of any notability
mali empire tho

i used the term notability for a reason

it was notable

mali couldve literally been conquered by any civilized people but their geography made it a pain.

no, not really

it was even in Civ 5

they were tribal people with one guy who came into power, enslaved other tribes in the form of serfdom and dug up a lot salt and gold to then give and trade to the muslims that he himself converted too

Mansa Musa became the richest guy ever

Mali wasn't that impressive it was just had lots of gold mines

Which made it "rich"
