Pan-African Perspective- Theories of ancient civilizations. History can be written by anyone, true or untrue.
I'm sure there was no bias in this theory.

I am certain that NegusGlennDennis can cite for us articles from archaeology journals that support his claims, right?

After all, citing a single book by a single author is never accepted in academia as being sufficient evidence for whatever it is that one claims.

For example, I can cite the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology in regards to shell fishing by early Humans in Africa.

I can cite the Cambridge Archaeological Journal in reference to the hunting techniques of Stone Age inhabitants of Africa.

I can cite Archaeology magazine (a publication of the Archaeological Institute of America) in reference to a massacre that took place in Africa 10,000 years ago.

I can cite African Archaeological Review in reference to use of stone tools in Ethiopia between the early first millennium BCE and late first millennium CE.

that is the way we learned it in geology class

What did u guys learn?

It is one thing to claim that Africa gave birth to Homo sapiens.
It is another thing to claim that Africa gave birth to all civilizations.

Everything that you've learned has been said or thought of by someone else before so what's your point again? I'll wait

The cradle of mankind

The system of rift valleys that characterizes the African continent represents a perfect environment to understand the evolution of mankind; for the important paleoanthropological discoveries in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zaire, the African rift valleys are indeed considered the "cradle of mankind", that is the place where our species evolved and diversified in the last million years.
The association between paleoanthropological discoveries and rift valleys is not accidental, since the volcanic and tectonic activities that gave rise to the tectonic depressions and the contemporaneous accumulation of sediments in the basins created the ideal conditions for the proliferation of life. In parallel, lavas, volcaniclastic sediments, and tephra were responsible for the quick burial and preservation of faunal and floral remains.

Many extremely well-preserved human and animal fossils have been found in the Ethiopian rift valley, suggesting that this area may have represented a crucial site for human evolution in the last million years. In particular, some Ethiopian localities are of great importance for paleoanthropological researches: for instance, fossils from the Middle Valley of the Awash river bear witness of the whole hominid evolution, from 6 million years to the present.

The transition between Homo erectus and the subsequent Homo sapiens is still highly debated. The most accepted theory suggests that the Homo sapiens differentiated from the erectus in Africa; subsequently, Homo sapiens would have given rise to a sub-species, the modern Homo sapiens sapiens, able to migrate (at around 60,000-70,000 years b.p.) out of Africa and to colonize the other continents substituting other local, more primitive populations (such as the Homo neanderthalensis in Europe).

Finally.!!! Someone that's willing to admit facts about history.!!

Dude, that is not what you have been claiming.
Nobody here has denied the African origins of Homo Sapiens.
You went way beyond that.

what History?
That's pre-History,Bo,and still does not back up any of your claims!
And that's a Fact!

NegusGlennDennis,
I have done my research, and I will debate you.
Now, try citing your source of information.

There's no more need to be said on this brother...I've said what I had to say and so have you...Now enjoy the rest of your day

In other words, you won't cite your source.
Thus, you didn't prove anything.
Oh well.

the "cradle of civilization" and the birth of man are two separate things... only fact we can say is the oldest manlike skeletons are found in Africa, with others just as old from china... that still doesn't change the fact that Egypt was the only civilization from African history that made a big impact on human life...

Then why is the oldest/longest surviving "civilization"
the aboriginal peoples of AUSTRALIA?


The remains of "Lucy", a bipedal primate, may have been
discovered in africa. But "Lucy" was far from being human.

We feel this thread has run it's course therefore it is being locked..
