correcting some typos from this quote, from a book worth reading:

"... Africans who came to the Americas constituted not merely a "labor
force," which in the context of slavery in the Americas connotes physical,
not intellectual labor. The transatlantic slave trade also involved the
very deliberate selection of Africans on the basis of their specific
knowledge and skills that were needed for the development of the Americas.
Therefore, this largest human migration also constituted the world's first
_massive brain drain and transfer of technology_ from Africa to the Americas,m
which establishedt he basis for contemporary power relations in the
Atlantic world."
