It's true that Africa gave us modern Homo sapiens sapiens. It's also true that Europe gave us the Hundred Years War, World War I and II and the first genocide - the number of humans killed by Europeans probably runs in the billions by now. Go figure.
And, it's probably true that most of the European population are too stupid to fart and chew gum at the same time.
