Why Africa is called a dark continent?

dhatam7 @dhatam7 (258) • India 19 Nov 08

I heard many call Africa a dark continent, but wonder sometimes that why is called so. Is it called dark continent bcoz of the colour of the native people living there or due no electricity (in past) there or for any other reason?...
