  One of the fundamental postulates of the Unified Growth Theory is the claimed
existence of three distinctly different regimes of economic growth governed by
three distinctly different mechanisms of growth. However, Galor also proposed
that the timing of these regimes is different for developed countries and for
less-developed countries. Africa is the perfect example of economic growth in
less-developed countries. The data used by Galor, but never properly
investigated, are now analysed. They turn out to be in dramatic contradiction
of this theory.
