But I'm not claiming that there was civilization in Sub-Saharan Africa independent of external support. I'm critiquing
>>31 's post that states there never was a civilization there
[1], and not providing relevant references to research that support his claim. It is a fallacious argument to make such a statement without referring to substantial evidence to back up said statement
[2].
Also, rather cute you tried to turn that around on me
[3]. Nice try, slick.

Footnotes:
[1] Under what evidence exactly?
[2] Just as if I said in this thread that there was civilization in Sub-Saharan Africa independent of external support, I have the obligation to provide relevant sources that support my claim, since to make such a claim, the burden of proof is on me. Since I had not made such a claim, I am not obligated to do so.
[3] I commend you on making the attempt, but let's not allow cutesy little things like that take the discussion off-topic.
