development in the new world, and the old world. very interesting. but the north/south comparison, africa is a really interesting case for this, because at the very beginning of my index, if you projected back another 40, 50,000 years, say, 60 or 70,000 years. africa would have the highest level of development because it's the only place where humans have evolved in eastern southern africa. then the they start moving out of africa, move to the other parts of the world, and this i think is a great illustration of what i was saying during the talk, what seems to me to be the driving force behind the shape the world history has taken. africa takes a lead early on in social development. but then as humans -- then also because humans developed in africa first you get much more biological diversity in humans in africa than anywhere else in the world. humans have been there longer. so you might expect africa to retain the lead in development over the long run because it gets this early start. but what happens is people spread out of africa into these lucky latitude regions across the old world,
