History and human progress are two different things. History is the record of human progress and since so many peoples in the world are pre-literate cultures, they have no history aside from whatever they can collect orally and hand down that way. Oral history is notoriously unreliable.

The dominance of European culture in the world is something that could never be anticipated in history up until then. The rise of European dominance is itself a history of pre-literate peoples rising to assume technological advances unimaginable by any human history anwhere.

But these advances are explosive and not sustainable as a picture of dominance. In the larger picture, the period of European dominance, or indeed any cultural dominance, is likely to be of limited significance to people everywhere. It is only a question of time before literacy and the technological advances provided by literacy become universal to human existence.

The rise of populations from poor, so called "third world" countries has nothing to do with this inevitable human progress. Mexico, for example, is a literate culture and their rise in the United States has nothing to do with some kind of looming dominance. China also, is a literate culture that predates Europe's own literacy. It's advances are more significant, except where it is characterized by population growth and dominance, in the US, for example.

The current global population explosion that seems to characterize shifts in political demography are evidence of a diseased state. People who advance the notion that changes in demography due to population growth are evidence of changes in political dominance are clearly part of old global power structures who spread disease as a weapon to extend their influence. The catholic church, for example.
