Africa's soils are dead after thousands of years of farming.

So first Africa was a continent of undeveloped nomadic pastoralists, but now also its soil is dead from milennia of intensive farming?

Not to mention that according to this logic the entire world should be dead from starvation already...

Archaeological evidence shows plenty of farming in most of the continent for a long time. The pastoralism in recent times is an adaptation to this. Not sure where I said it was a continent of nomadic pastoralists.

Of course, this is all based on material evidence, as there is no written language aside from the East and North Africans to refer to.

Also not sure I follow your train of thought on the whole world dying of starvation. Current grain production is mostly American.
