I'm only on page 157, but my impression was that he was differentiating between parts of Africa, no?
As far as I can call, he implies that just about all of sub-Saharan Africa was less advanced, technologically and economically speaking, than Europe for most of the history of human civilization. He does make some differentiation between certain areas (talking, for example, specifically about the Khoikhoi people and how the environment of South Africa affected their development of civilization), but he doesn't differentiate in the sense that he recognizes that many sub-Saharan African civilizations were actually quite advanced
