    Transatlantic slavery affected the population of Africa as there were fewer men to clear fields and hunt.

    Explanation:

    The transatlantic trade of African slaves was the process by which more than 15 million black slaves were transported to the Americas to serve in the colonies of the British, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch empires. It is estimated that during the 17th and 19th century, the African population stagnated (and even decreased during certain periods of time) as a result of the departure of men from the continent, which caused both a decrease in the number of people in the continent and a lack of reproduction due to such shortage of men.

    The departure of so many men from the African continent was one of the causes of the continuing poverty that has appeared on the continent since the 20th century onwards. The lack of labor, both for the development of villages and for hunting and fishing, led to many populations beginning to suffer needs and seeing their development capacities diminished. This led to few men having the ability to replace them, which in turn were taken as slaves, plunging African populations into constant underdevelopment.
