Roman math doesn't have the concept of zero. That's Arabic math.
That math wasn't arabic. They appropriated it from one of the cultures they conquered. arabic numerals were stolen and adapted from some indians, too.
If they conquered them, then the math is spoils, and belonged to them. Shit, do you even conquer bro?
Yeah, zero was conceptualized in the sub continental.
What exactly did Africans contribute to human understanding that's of any significance?
Niggers in Africa provided the world with Gibsmedat Math. It's a type of math where no matter what variables are in what state, the result is "We need mo' money fo' dem programs."
Lol. Btw, listen to the audio book I posted if you haven't read or heard it before.
"The bell curve" by Herrnstein, Murray
That's the popularized tale. Been a long while since I last saw something of this, but it looks like they got it elsewhere. Some even argue this was lost knowledge contained in the library of Alexandria.
It's also important to understand Arab means mixed. Most arabs are mixed of caucasain and something else. Meaning they are a branch from us. The current middle eastern populations do not accurately reflect the populations several thousand years ago. Though pockets in Iran are much closer than the general case. The whole region used to be much whiter. In fact, Iran was once land of the Aryan.
Arabs in those days were very very different from the thawb-wearing creeps in the House of Saud. It was a catch-all term for migratory traders from the regions South of Constantinople.
The word itself is Hebrew and means "mixed." Arabs in the day generally meant a mix of caucasian (Scythian, Aryan, Hebrew, Phoenician, Greek, Roman, etc...) and another non-white tribe. But could have meant other too. The people of Iran today are fairly close (much less white today because of many generations of interbreeding) approximations of what were commonly thought of Arabs back in the day.
