CB: What does being BLACK Africa have to do with "ecological/geographical 
 conditions" ? Sounds like Diamond has an inconsistent and racist theory.

Simply saying that one can, as  Diamond does, draw a rough line accross
the African continent to distinguish "white" Africa from "black" Africa
proper.  Egyptians, Tunisians, Moroccans, Libyans and others in the
Northern areas are "white".


No. They're not. They're Mediterranean--it's really easy for them to
trade, fight, and learn from people from all over Eurasia...
