A donkey is literally, unequivocally, in all matters both physically and spiritually, a domesticated zebra, and was first domesticated around the 'ear' of Africa: Somalia, Ethiopia, and into Egypt. I *genuinely* do not understand what the issue is with everyone - including Jared Diamond. Furthermore, Africans did independently domesticate cattle and develop rudimentary small-scale iron metallurgy.

As far as I know that 'outdated' meme you hear from time to time is maybe just true: that Africans aren't necessarily stupid, but that a warm/tropical predictable climate unironically does discourage innovation and development - for whatever reason.
