African Civilizations on and out of Africa, Vol.1, 1st Edition: Birth of Humankind and Civilizations, and their Spread from Africa

Africa, over the years, has been denied her place in world history. Africa’s contribution to world history of humankind is unparalleled. Yet, some people write and portray Africa as though she has no history, no historical accomplishments; and some even go to the length of questioning what Africa has done to contribute to human civilization and history. What is often forgotten is that Africa is the mother of humankind as well as civilizations. It was her children who left the continent of Africa and peopled other parts of the world, as well as bringing civilizations to wherever they settled. In this book, the author places Africa in her proper place of world history and civilizations. This is an introductory volume, which would be followed by other follow-up volumes. Get volumes 2 and 3 for a complete understanding and evidence of the treated topics.
