Why didn't Europeans develop their own original writing system?

Is it reasonable to expect them to? I thought most of the world used a derivation of Phoenician alphabet, with the exception of East Asia.

We have whatever the Vinca script counts as.
And there's Linear A and Linear B.

seems like plenty other areas made their own writing system but only the levant made the breakthrough from pictogram to alphabet(or abjad). i could be wrong tho, is there any other writing systems that INDEPENDENTLY evolved to alphabet/abjad/abugida?

Greeks, Romans, even Vikings, had their own systems.

such claims have been made for decades, and the fact that this is a link to a newspaper rather than a proper scientific publication should be a red flag.

>"For the first two or three thousand years of civilization, there was not a civilized white man on the earth. Civilization was founded and developed by the swarthy races of Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt, and the white race remained so barbaric that in those days an Egyptian or a Babylonian priest would have said that the riffraff of white tribes a few hundred miles to the north of their civilization were hopelessly incapable of acquiring the knowledge requisite to progress. It was southern colored peoples everywhere, in China, in Central America, in India, Mesopotamia, Syria, Egypt and Crete who gave the northern white peoples civilization".
—Bishop William Montgomery Brown

>"The accident of the predominance of white men in modern times should not give us supercilious ideas about color or persuade us to listen to superficial theories about the innate superiority of the white-skinned man. Four thousand years ago, when civilization was already one or two thousand years old, white men were just a bunch of semi-savages on the outskirts of the civilized world. If there had been anthropologists in Crete, Egypt, and Babylonia, they would have pronounced the white race obviously inferior, and might have discoursed learnedly on the superior germ-plasm or glands of colored folk".
—Joseph McCabe
