The European copying of the Arab treatise shows that
European-Middle Eastern interactions and West
African-Middle Eastern interactions in the 14th century
differed in which of the following ways?
O West Africans were net exporters rather than
importers of written works.
O West Africans adopted Arabic as a written language
rather than translating texts into existing systems of
writing.
o West Africans were part of the Arab cultural-linguistic
group and so already were exposed to these ideas
about medicine and diet.
O West Africans did not exchange science or medical
knowledge with the Islamic world due to the greater
distance from major cities.
