Yeah Africa fails, except for that whole cradle of civilization thing
Guns, Germs and Steel theory imo.
Yeah, everyone should give that a watch or read.
They made a movie?  The New World/Native thing is not theory - it is well documented.  The introduction of disease from animal/human contact is not theory either - at least on a general scale, it is well documented too.  But yes, read that incredibly long and simple book and branch out from there.

Population density and lots of engagement between European powers forced them to changed ala survival of the fittest. Empires that don't adapt fail and dissapear as footnotes in history. Rest of the world's Empires are isolated, so the bureaucratic system won't change.

Exploration was key for European dominance.

Uh...  You just described what's relevant to the colonial Americas.  Modern Africa is quite different.

There are 3 main factors with disease in Africa:

1) Climate: much of Africa is warm year round, perfect for the breeding of bacteria

2) Parasites and vermin: Africa has a wider variety of parasites and vermin than most other continents, perfect for spreading viruses

3) Mass graves: with all the death in Africa from famine, disease, and mass murder, the massive amounts of corpses resulting from it provide the perfect food for bacteria.
