Europe: Modest weather, plenty of cattle, horses to carry people hundreds of miles, and relatively few predatory/dangerous animals.

Sub-Saharan Africa: Harsh weather, few animals that can be domesticated for cattle, no animals that will provide safe travel so you're on foot, and absolutely everything is out to kill you.

If horses trampled riders to death the way that zebras did, if lakes in Europe hid crocodiles, their advancement would have been stalled as well.
