the drought did not kill anybody. the dysfunctional society did. there is enough technology and know how to overcome these things once everyone involved focuses all their attention on it. Instead, they, "leaders", buy guns and power and leave necessary infrastructure to be just a ghost.
150 years ago, most Africans and all American natives were stone age people. Now they are scientists, mathematicians, scientists, they fly super jets, and go to space and much more. They were always capable of more than a stone age existence because they are humans.
