What prevented black Africans from developing mathematics?

The fact that they are black africants(LOL)

literally didn't need them
or anything else for that matter
this is the only reason hunter-gatherer societies still fucking exist

Fiddlin with numbers is honkey shit. A REAL NIGGA studies the science of MUH DIK.

>literally didn't need them
Nobody needs mathematics though. It's something people figure out because they're intellectually curious.

it's something people figure out after they've secured a living standard orders of magnitude higher than some bare-ass berry pickers and intend to keep it.

We keep having these threads because it keeps stormfags out of all other threads on the board.

Why didn't black Africans secure such a living standard? Is it whitey's fault again?

What prevented white germanics from developing mathematics?

Hard mode:
>ancient greeks, romans, egyptians, babylonians and indians weren't nordic

>Why didn't black Africans secure such a living standard?
Because they DID NOT HAVE TO, how many times do I have to say it?
Agriculture and domestication of animals was a driving force in human development, because they freed up individual's time to do shit other than get food and sleep and they allowed - for the times - ridiculously huge number of people to cohabit in a permanent settlement and not starve, and these things were just not a necessity in sub-saharan Africa.

It isn't beneficial to hunter-gatherer societies. Mathematics is useful for societies that need engineering like buildings and ships, it isn't so useful when your most complex technology is a flexible piece of wood with a string tied to both ends.

Well they did have Leibniz, granted I prefer Newton's notation.

find another way to feel better about yourself m8

People get intellectually curious after they have an underclass farm to get food for them while they navel-gaze.

>just not a necessity
good to know no africans were starving back then

Why didn't Germans?

if they were starving, they went to hunt and gather, if they couldn't find anything anymore, they packed their shit and left for greener pastures

eventually some people in Levant and ~10 other places in the world grew tired of that shit and planted some grass and captured some animals for breeding

It is something you need when developing enough of a surplus that people can invent things like philosophy, in its purest sense, mathematics is born of philosophy, the theoretical kind at least.
In short, Africans living nomadic / pastoral lifestyles, do not need mathematics.

Deep thoughts from my African American associate.

You.know most Africans are farmers?

Yeah and they were farmers at least since the period of heavy bombardment by asteroids, not post-colonialism or anything.
Fucking hell, dude, the only places in all of African continent with legit traces of agriculture were Med coast (e.g not "black africans") and region of today's Ethiopia.
Everything else was hunter-gatherer until well into the second half of second millennium.

What's preventing chimps from developing it?

Since this thread is about underground history, can anyone tell me some other shocking things that black people didn't even?
