In Africa, Eurasia, and America, flourishing agriculture supported expanding populations, large cities, highly skilled crafts, expanding trade, complex social orders, and developing states. The basic culture of sub-Sahara Africa evolved mainly from its own traditions, while imported Eurasian culture, such as Islam, was relatively superficial. American civilizations were even more original, having developed in complete isolation from the Old World. Women in Africa tended to have more rights than women in an Aztec society.
