Highlights ● Africa holds 17% of world population but produces only 3–3.3% of world science. ● A theoretical model links regional scientific output to the global knowledge stock. ● Simulations to 2050 reveal sharply diverging development trajectories. ● Three new laws are derived: cognitive deficit, absorptive capacity, lost contribution. ● Results support concentrating research funding to cross a critical mass threshold.
