just because our people did not isolate and make a dichotomy between nature and the body , does not mena that they did not know what they were doing. When you use the whole prescription , knowing how to make the different medicinal yourself whether it be from molded food or herbs then you have the total know how with no need to market it for fame or push it to the people because healers are found throughout the communities. thanks
Also, Lister had already developed antiseptic technique before 1880 and Lady Wortley Montague had already introduced a similar technique for smallpox which had long been used in the Far East. In short, most of the 'milestones' you mention actually weren't unique eg use of herbs or were not indeed African discoveries eg antibiotics. This is why the credit is missing in textbooks
They never discovered reserpine, they just used the herb rauwolfia - all cultures used herbs medicinally, many of which are now used for drug production eg digitalis. They didn't discover any antibiotic either, they used mouldy foods to treat infections as did many civilisations - they did not isolate penicillin and the presence of tetracycline in bones was due to drinking from urns made of soil contaminated by Streptomyces - they didn't know it was present let alone use it medically.
More Afrocentric crap. Africa wisdom is one hell of an oxymoron if I ever did see one.
