If he's going to mention Egypt and Carthage, I'm going to laugh my ass off, because there is a STARK difference between Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa.

That was very late in History.    Did Sub-Sahara Africa have Bronze armor and weapons?   Domestication of Horses, swine, cattle, chickens, etc?    Dairy products?   Organized Agriculture?    The Wheel?

Wagons?  Roads?    Iron?    Stone masonry?   Cement?    Bricks?   Architecture?

If a large powerful group formed it would likely engage in conquest. There is no reason to believe wars would be less frequent.

You are leaving out the whole "Arab conquest of North Africa" bit. The Arabs pushed deep into Africa taking slaves and engaging in conquest. Arabs are also white, but not the Christian European whites the OP intended.

Roman involvement was much more distant in time, consequently it is hard to see its effects. But the absence of Roman power allowed Arab Muslim expansion.

This.  Sadly, Africa is not isolated like Australia.  So OP's question is moot.  Since they are not isolated, thus for them to develop on their own unmolested is impossible.  But the fact that even with constant interaction with other people, they still get stuck in the stone age is very telling.  Same can be said of the native North/South Americans.  I can only guess that the abundance of food source stymied their desire for advancement?

This isn't correct. European warfare in the time of the Hundred Years War was quite sophisticated, far beyond most of the world at the time.

This isn't correct. The Arabs were less advanced then the Spanish they conquered as well as what remained of Rome (the Eastern Empire).

Carthage Egypt Kush  all might have developed interesting things.
Does Carthage count?  It was founded by Phoenicians (white foreigners?)

Kush is interesting.  It would probably depend on how its skirmishes with Egypt would end-up.  One might finally take over the other and develop some interesting stuff.
That's why the original question is a bit flawed as it is hard to seperate the importance of Mediterranean trade and racial migrations from historic outcomes.

So they would be on par with the Americas in the same situation?
Correct.   And Australia, Mate.
Right so this is more of a black people suck thread than in intellectual discussion right?
Are you Racist?

Yes or No.    Tell the truth.
this thread wasn't started to discuss the prolification of technology in ancient times
You should open your mind to learning about History, without all the racial baggage.   To me, History is interesting and beautiful in its complexity.

I wish everybody could see it that way, unencumbered by their modern day hangups.

This assuming no external person would have ever visited and taken modern artifacts to give or sell or they would have not established any commerce with anyone outside the continent?

The countries would probably have the borders set by the tribes' dominions instead of the artificial borders designed to keep enemy tribes within the same space, thus fighting each other.

Wars would likely happen but not so frequently because they would not be artificially created.

The way the tribes were "investing in technology" they would likely still be in their preliminary stages of hunter-gatherers.

Also, if we assume that Romans were also considered "whites" and had never set any colonies, conquered Egypt, etc.   Egypt might be still a local super-power.

ETA: I wonder what Egyptians might have came up with.
The Romans conquered Egypt AFTER it had been conquered by Alexander the Great. A Macedonian. Another white dude.
Egypt was ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty after Alexander left. Cleopatra was the last descendant of the Ptolemies. She was white too.
Let's go back prior to that then.  If not conquered, would Egypt be a super-power and what technologies it might have came up with?  It's the only African country I can see would have any chance.

It's not that the question is flawed. It's the the OP had a specific answer in mind and asked a question he thought would get that answer.

This.  Sadly, Africa is not isolated like Australia.  So OP's question is moot.  Since they are not isolated, thus for them to develop on their own unmolested is impossible.  But the fact that even with constant interaction with other people, they still get stuck in the stone age is very telling.  Same can be said of the native North/South Americans.  I can only guess that the abundance of food source stymied their desire for advancement?

History is a bit more complex than that. Human migration to and from Africa is fairly vast.

I would say it was more lack of direct interaction with other cultures. Being fairly isolated they became an apex predator and didn't have much need to advance. The ones that did moved north and diffused.

"Might"?

That area is known to be a rather important place in the development of civilization.   It was quite well documented with carving and large stone buildings.

The most interesting thing is how, or why, that technology never made it south of the Sahara.

Australia and America, was isolated by Oceans.

And yet, European explorers encountered Stone Age tribes when they got to Africa.    Why?

The truth is never kind.

So what would Africa look like if the White Devil never ever set foot on their shores?
