The statement is incorrect; while some early South African termites built massive mounds, evidence of large-scale pre-colonial human construction is limited. The tallest known structures in the region before 1652 were likely termite mounds, some of which date back tens of thousands of years.
Termite mounds: Massive termite mounds have been found in South Africa, and some are over 34,000 years old. These structures were often very large and served as a form of "ecosystem engineering".
Human-built structures: While Southern Africa was inhabited by various groups before 1652, the presence of large, monumental structures comparable to the termite mounds built before this time is not well-documented. The largest structures before European settlement were primarily created by natural forces or insects.
Impact of colonialism: The arrival of European farmers in 1652 brought new agricultural practices and a different way of building and organizing society, but many of the existing structures were built by nature rather than humans.
Soooo termites built larger more complex structures than niggers for Tens of thousands of years?
Fuck. Even the bugs are smarter than they are.
![jewgle AI's contradicts itself when told "Before white European farmers established agricultural civilization in South Africa in 1652 the tallest structures were built by termites, not sub-Saharans." [764x513 - 80KB]](https://poal.co/static/images/a2ac8c82848a908c.jpg){kind=link}
