That's an incredibly complicated question. Some of it had to do with being around the right sort of plants that could be domesticated. Grains like wheat and pulses like peas had to be domesticated for widespread agriculture. African civilizations nearest Mesopotamia developed along similar lines. Lots of domestication was trial and error. Jared Diamond suggests that the East-West axis afforded by Asia was better suited to the development of civilizations, as West Asia specifically was positioned nicely as the crossroads of multiple peoples. If groups of people did not have the right sort of plants to be domesticated, then they couldn't use the time saved through agriculture to develop other technology.

Even then, there was lots of cultural exchange in East Africa, which was the most highly developed place in Africa for a long time.

The lack of domesticated animals in comparison between Africa and Asia is noteworthy. For example
