African International Biotechnology and Biomedical Conference; Advancing Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in Africa

Mind blowing how much of a menace and barrier to state development the TseTse fly has been in Africa. It kills (via transmitted parasite) essentially all horses and roughly 70–100% of cattle in the areas it inhabits. The paper notes “no African ethnic group occupied historically a place that was both inhospitable for the fly and yet highly suitable for agriculture.” Limited sustainable livestock -> limited plough agriculture -> less surplus and lower population density -> limited political centralization / state development
