Hi!
I just stumbled across this site and saw the article. I recommend that you take a closer look at it, because some things are just wrong.
For example:
Walter Sammons improved the comb, but he didn't invent it. As soon as people had long hair, they combed it. There have always been combs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comb
Also, the pencil sharpener was invented by a french guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_sharpener#History
At that time, there were practically no Africans in France.
Concerning the typewriter: It was not like one guy alone invented typewriters. The concept was improved over hundreds of years. The first guy to build an actual typewriter was Italian.
Please remove this false information.
Greetings,
Valentin
