Africa is believed to the motherland as fossil evidence has led many scientific experts to conclude that the oldest habitation of human beings in Africa. The first inhabitants of the continent were hunters and gatherers. From Africa, the early humans then spread out to other parts of the world. The Sahara, the mighty desert we know it to be was not always a desert. In fact around circa 10,500 BC, the Sahara was a fertile green valley as confirmed by one of the oldest cave paintings found in the Tassili n’Ajjer region. While still hunting and gathering food, the early Africans began to domesticate cattle. Later, other animals such as donkeys and goats were also domesticated. Around the first millennium BC, metalwork was discovered, and the technology was soon transferred through the northern parts of the sub-Sahara Africa region. The technology soon became widely adopted in Western Africa. This led to some of the ancient artworks discovered in Africa such as the Ife and Benin bronze cultures, the Nok terraculture, ivory among others. Africa is also credited for the starting civilization as we now know it. The Egyptians led by their Pharaohs around Circa 3300 BC began to develop literacy and literary culture as revealed by historical records. Learning, philosophy, and also astronomy formed the basis of what would later become the bedrock of consecutive civilization and even one of the earliest known self-sustaining civilizations in the world. The end of this period ushered in an era of invasion in Africa. First, it was the Persians then Alexander the great who liberated Egypt from Persia and built up a city in his name. The town he set up would go on to become the capital of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Soon after, the Roman Empire took over entire North Africa’s Mediterranean coastline. Islam reached Africa in the early 7th century through the effort of the newly formed Arabian empire. During this period, the adoption of theology and the practice of Islam quickly spread through sub-Saharan Africa. This feat was achieved through the usage of trade routes as well as migration. Intricate bronze designs dating back to the 9th-century Igbo-Ukwu in modern-day Nigeria exhibit a high level of technical finesse that supersedes the bronze creativity out of Europe at about the same time. Before the western colonization of Africa, there were over 10,000 nations with different states and political realities in Africa. Each of these states had her own rule of law and governmental hierarchy. Examples include the small family groups of Hunter-gatherers living in southern Africa; a family clan of central, southern, and eastern Africa; well-organized clan clusters in the Horn of Africa; the great Sahelian monarchies; and the self-governing city-states and domains in West Africa. In the 9th century AD, some dynasties such as the Hausa states, Ghana, Gao, and Kanem-Bornu, extended far across the sub-Saharan savannah. The biggest empire of them all was Ghana, which reigned supreme until its eventual decline in the 11th century, and was quickly succeeded by the Mali Empire. Some of the other notable political powers include The Kingdom of Ife, a Yoruba city-state that was governed under a priestly king. Ife made a significant contribution to world heritage artistically, with her tradition of unique and highly naturalistic bronze heads. The Oyo Empire was based on the Ife model of government.
