I specifically asked to understand
Please explain using direct quotes why any parts of his model, not data, weren't or aren't reasonable to you in the way outdated yte authors are.
Given you've read the entire book a few times, am I wrong assessing your meaning is: Overall the work is unreasonable except for a few things here and there? Asking for clarity not contention. I'd expect not since you mention 'economists' channeling Wms, a positive note.
Critique is vital. Doubt and questioning is how we progress generation to generation. Hyper-critical is counter productive. Chancellor Williams is certainly as correct as still used and defended Cavalli-Sforza or Arnaiz-Villena. Hopefully not a case of colder ice? I recently again pointed 3 Cavalli-Sforza 'unreasonables' and did similar for Arnaiz-Villena years ago. Due to a fact about education the Ancestor pointed out we all at sometime or another succumb to the Colder Ice Effect (p.189b, hilited in blue).
Just as ytes have foundational scholars 100 or more years ago like Hume, we have the likes of ancestored* Dr. Chancellor Williams. That a young 21st century AfrAm wrote the below linked attests the lasting value of Destruction of Black Civilization in liberation culture, still a best seller in the community per sales at Africa World Press & Red Sea Press.

Apparently there's a community need for DOBC that no other work fills since its 1987 2nd edition. Practicality. Applicable to audience experiences and goals. This is not history for history's sake. It's for assessing the state of African Blackkind toward solutions we find ourselves needing through cultural review of 6000 years of patterns and events, extracting from it a plan for respect and a better future based on our intrinsic values and particulars. Identity. Purpose. Direction. This aspect is lost to many who never lived through any of the 50's-80's Pan-African Liberation Era. Mostly those who wish they could've been in it are drawn to Wms' DOBC.
Any pro bias I have stems from buying this book in '74 and borrowing Africa: Mother of Western Civ/Black Man o/t Nile/et al. (blew my mind) In or close to that year African Origin of Civ, They Came before Columbus, African & Africans as seen by Classical Writers and of course the slightly earlier Intro to African Civ and Blacks in Antiquity. But the non-sectarian analysis and plan objective of DOBC is matched by From Plan to Planet/Enemies: the clash of races, Kawaida, Black Africa: the economic and cultural basis for a federated state. Consciencism is another seminal work I discovered mid '70s. Without this literary grounation in undergrad years my mind would've been totally lost to believing in pseudo-objective academia aka Eurocentrism. None of it stopped me from going on and learning more as more became available to learn some confirming some negating other previous sureties. Balance.
