Expert Solution

There was little human to human contact between people of Eurasia and south Africa. The contact was historically hindered by the presence of hot and dry Sahara . Further the equatorial central Africa is also hot which is not suitable for human movement. Thus in early human history domesticated species of plants and animals could not spread to south Africa. Thus we see as means of transport improved contact become more and more easy and spread became inevitable.
