Where did human beings originate? Where did "civilization" begin? The answer to both of these questions according to anthropologists, geneticists, and historians is Africa. Therefore, our study of human history begins in Africa. Unit 1, Class 1 discusses the prevailing theories of where human beings originated from and when, why and how they migrated out of Africa to populate the rest of the world. Unit 1, Class 1 also discusses the impact of these migrations on our physical make-up, including skin color and hair texture, as well as our personality development. examines the African origins of modern humans (homo sapiens) 200,000 years ago, to the fall of the Ancient Egyptian empire to the Greeks in 323 BCE. It traces the African origins of civilization in Ethiopia and beyond to the rise and fall of the Nile Valley civilizations of ancient Nubia and Egypt (Kemet). Students will study the evolutionary process of civilization building that began in Africa nearly 200,000 years BEFORE the founding of ancient Kemet/Egypt. Students will analyze the e to humanity.
