The whole world is interconnected, so it's hard to find anything that is the exclusive domain of one continent. Europeans aren't innately superior to the rest of the world, but they aren't innately inferior either. And even if they were, the idea that something only "counts" if you never interact with and learn from foreigners is a bizarre and arbitrary rule that goes against most of the important innovations throughout human history.
