Not only was humanity born in Africa, it was developed there on that continent to create the first of the world's civilizations, which is the African Kmtic civilization. It was obviously a civilization created by Africans. It was also this civilization that created engineering, architecture, federal governance, medicine, art, and science which was plagiarized by invaders who destroyed the civilization by 332 BC and named what was left-over Greek, Roman, and Arab "Egypt." In fact, the Nile Valley River system, which runs through the heart of the African continent, is at the center of (1) the human species in all of its stages dating from 4,200,000 years ago; (2) the first settled human class societies, dating from 11,000+ years ago; (3) and the first ancient advanced civilizations, dating from 7,000+ years ago. There were specific conditions under which Africa lost its historical initiative and fell into servitude even unto this time.--Back cover.
