[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [b]I've been wanting to touch base on this for a while and believe this should be discussed more in depth. A lot of people have this thought that West Africans have always been isolated from the rest of the world in Ancient times and also that they developed civilization very recently. [/b] Keep in mind that numerous areas of EUROPE have been relatively isolated from developments in the Mediterranean, NEAfrica & the Middle East. England was a relatively isolated place until the Roman conquest, as were Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Large parts of the mountainous Balkans have been relatively isolated, as well as large swathes of Eastern Europe. The Slavic peoples of Russia for example were in early eras the prey of other peoples- hence our word today "slave" derives from "Slav". Neither Britain or Russia (two of the strongest nations of the 19th and 20th century respectively) were of much relative account in antiquity as regards so-called "civilization." [/QB][/QUOTE]
