It is most likely because Africa is almost custom designed for humans and that means they did/do not have to plan ahead. No need to store food if you can kill one as soon as you get hungry. That is a gross oversimplification but that is the gist of it.
Sort of. Africa also has the most dangerous game on earth and snakes like the black mamba. Lots of not planning ahead for the long term comes from the fact violent early death was/is common.

gonna dissagree. if those quick violent deaths had consequences, the africans should be experts at weaponery, archery and traded resources for chinese gun powder. they should have figured out how to make traps and become expert world leading hunters. if a lion or elephant storms their huts and break them down through strength....then the african should have thought....hmmmmm maybe i should make stronger shelter. maybe make deep ditches around out villages so lions fall in and cant get out. etc......
they didnt.
