The Origins of Modern Africa

  • Posted by African History Project
  • Categories Public Lectures
  • Date 25 January 2022

In this lecture and conversation we explore African anthropogony, anthropology, and early oral histories to see if we can use them to reconstruct the history of Africa.

African societies are the oldest in the world and as such the communities of the continent have been engaged in continuous thought about their “origins” for longer than any other community.

This makes African origin stories some of the richest and most interesting stories of their kind.
