Here, I assume 'them' refers to African civilizations. You have made this point extensible to all learning and innovation . . . basically you're stating that all human advancement was predicated on stealing something from African societies.
So, since America adopted the printing press as the basis for literary (and therefore intellectual) advancement and promotion via mass-production of literature, who did Gutenburg steal it from?
Unless it was an African culture that was mass-producing books centuries before, it seems we've found a hole in the theory (however minor), b/c credit appears to be given to whom it is due.
Personally, I think the revelation that Egyptian culture was Semite (although existing on the African continent) should have been enough to make you re-think your theory . . . but what do I know?
