Cheikh Anta Diop (1923-1986) was an Afrocentric historian, anthropologist, physicist and politician who studied the human race’s origins and pre-colonial African culture from Senegal. He should be considered as one of the greatest scientists after Darwin, as he demonstrated that Africa was the cradle of humanity; that everything started in Africa, and that Egypt and modern day Africans descended from the same ancestors, in other words, were the … Every person of African descent should read this book.

there's so much history that we don't know...so much that has been denied, disrespected, and removed in relation to Africa. i'm looking forward to checking out some of the sources Diop cited in his arguments. Sorry it took so long to read. You have to constantly think and check out the references, which makes it very insightful in my opinion.One the best sources of research for anyone interested in refuting the predominate position that Africa contributed little to the world.

It argues that Ancient Egypt was largely Black African in race and culture during the first 2,000 years of its civilization.. Diop’s model goes like this: Quite amazing and indisputable along with the research and documentation of Dr. Diop, as well as other scholars such as Dr. Henrik Clarke,and a personal favorite Rev Ray Hagins who reminds me that God is the Sun the only Omnipotent,Most Brilliant, The Highest Star , wakes us up every morning,starts our day, will never leave us or forsake us,is there for everyone to enjoy, and we worship it without thining about it, the Sun however has kissed the Black race only and that is evidence enough for us to know who earths rightful rulers are with the most melanin in our bodies we as black people are closer to God and get direct nourishment from the Sun..I thank all of the Scholars who have taken the time to research t bring us vital information that knocks all false theories out of the water!
