CONTRIBUTIONS OF EARLY AFRICAN SOCIETIES

Africa, the birthplace of humanity

It is likely that human history actually began in Africa. The oldest evidence of human existence and that of our ancestors has been found in Africa. In July 2002, further evidence of the existence of early humans in Africa was found with the discovery of the fossils and remains of early humans, thought to be between 6-7 million years old, in the country of Chad. The latest scientific research points to the fact that all human beings are likely to have African ancestors.

Trade, Cultures and Civilisations in Africa

Africa’s great civilizations made many contributions to the world, which are still impressing people today. Ancient Egypt, which first developed over 5000 years ago. is one of the most notable of these civilizations and one of the first monarchies anywhere in the world. Egypt is best known for its great monuments and wonders of engineering (such as the Pyramids), but it also made great advances in many other fields too. The Egyptians produced early forms of paper and a

written script. They developed the calendar too and made important contributions in various branches of mathematics, such as geometry and algebra. They made important contributions in mechanics, philosophy, irrigation and architecture.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF EARLY AFRICAN SOCIETIES (continued)

How Europe learned from Africa

Africans were certainly involved in trans-oceanic travel long before Europeans and there is some evidence to suggest that Africans crossed the Atlantic and reached the American continent, perhaps even north America, as early as 500 BC. In the 14th century, the Syrian writer, al-Umari, wrote about the voyage of the Emperor of Mali who crossed the Atlantic with 2000 ships but failed to return. Africans in east and south-eastern Africa also set up great civilizations that established important trading links with the kingdoms and empires of India and China long before Europeans had learned how to navigate the Atlantic ocean. When Europeans first sailed to Africa in the 15th century, African pilots and navigators shared with them their knowledge of trans-oceanic travel.

It was gold from the great empires of West Africa, Ghana, Mali and Songhai, which provided the means for the economic take off of Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries and aroused the interest of Europeans in western Africa. An early historian in the 9th century wrote ‘the king of Ghana is a great king. In his territory are mines of gold.’ When the famous historian of Muslim Spain, al-Bakri wrote about Ghana in the 11th century, he reported that its king ‘rules an enormous kingdom and has great power’. The king of Ghana was said to have an army of 200,000 men and to rule over an extremely wealthy trading empire. In the 14th century, the west African empire of Mali was larger than western Europe and reputed to be one of the largest, richest and most powerful states in the world. The Moroccan traveller Ibn Batuta wrote about his very favourable impressions of this empire and said that he found ‘complete and general safety’ there.
