ABSTRACT
John Henrik Clarke said that “Civilization emerged first on the African continent and all other continents are the inheritors of those first humans who occupied the African land mass”. An inheritance that included farming, fishing, and hunting in a very fertile and productive part of the earth was enough to propel the civilization to greater heights. From the energy of the Badarian and Naqada cultures, the people of the Nile Valley were primed to influence human history in Africa forever. The fact that Somalia is unsettled means that the country is not yet in a position to resume the role it has long held as Africa’s eastern anchor. Evidence of microlithic culture has been found widespread throughout the savanna grasslands of Central Africa, particularly in Zambia. Modern historians have often racialized African history, creating a historical profile based in ideas of racial superiority.
