Pertinent quote from the results section of the publication:
Most people who come from a socio-economically less favorable background do not commit more crime than people who come from a more favorable background, and it also happens that people from a more favorable background do commit crime. This means that even if there is a connection between socio-economic background and involvement in crime, that connection is weak. It is not possible to appreciably predict who will commit crimes based on knowledge of people's socio-economic background.

That’s not what was being argued, and even under that sentiment you would have to remove have of Asia as they fall in the same category as Africa in that regard. Mesopotamia was the origin of every technology that was listed there and then later spread through Europe.
The wheel comes from Mesopotamia, yes. The spoked wheel, a MASSIVE improvement, comes from Russia.
So not only was the wheel understood and mastered by other tribes, it was improved upon.
Can you name one technological innovation a sub-saharan African group not only mastered, but improved?
Remove half of Asia? Inventors of toilet paper, gunpowder? Domesticators of the silk moth? Inventors of crucible steel!?
Using the same argument you just used for sub-Saharan Africa name one technology innovation from Malaysia, Thailand, Bengali, etc.
