Origins of Life in Africa pt 1

                                                       Origins of Life in Africa

This topic was taken from our study group class, cultural awareness. We learned and discuss creation stories of the bible and Torah.

We discussed what essential, might be need to create life? Water and amino acids and abundance and variety of minerals. Food and shelter. Where would this be at in Africa? There are three (3) main theories where life may have started in Africa Southern, Eastern and Northern Africa.

The first theory is Southern Africa {Botswana, Zambia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe}. Some scholars believe life started here? There is some fresh water in this area, but to many droughts occur here. There are hardly enough trees to support shelter and fire wood. These means this environment would be to hot and dry for early man, combined with no shelter from predators in the wild.

The second theory is Northern Africa {Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan and Ethiopia}. The Sahara desert is now there but before the last ice age 10,000 years ago the Sahara was a wet and topical land. There was a river than ran through the area called Sahel. As Europe cooled off the Northern winds stop, and no rain came.

Sahel: mean. Arabic- coast or shore/ word originally came Libya!

With not enough evidence because of the desert we can not say yes or no? But a strong possibility!

The third theory is one of the more commonly excepted theories about life starting. Eastern Africa {Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya} area, it has everything  need for life in abundance. Fresh water on the Nile coming from Lake Victoria. There would be large amounts of food for eating. Trees and caves for shelter from the elements and predators!

But most of all there is a abundance of amino acids, minerals and salts to build and maintain life. These are called soda {alkaline} lakes. Due to the many volcanoes! The large lakes or inland seas could help life out.

These lakes are probably the key to life start?

In part two (2) we will discuss other important factors?

Origins of life in Africa pt2

This is a continuation from pt1 of this topic. This was part of the study group in class Saturday, January 26, 2013.

We discuss three (3) main theories where life could have started in Africa and why?
In Kemetic studies we going in deeper into African roots and history mean of us are going into Ethiopia and the interior of Africa.

With this study of interior of Africa dates are not line up correctly nor making in logical sense. The main reason is the holders of the information are liars! Europeans have lied for their own cause which has hamper and stop a progressive science move all together!

These are some reason I explained to the class that will help with the incorrect dating of humans and earth!

First Europeans were the last people on earth to develop a culture, due to being land locked by ice until the last ice age 10,000 years ago. So for the most part they know every little about human and world history!

Secondly Europeans jealousy of Africans, often "called racism" has blind them to many of the facts and clues to our origins!

I will use a example, because I do not want to become a basher of Europeans, I just want them to look at the damage that is being done to all of us, because of their racism!

example:
If you want to know something about your personal family or your human family, you go to the oldest living member in your family and ask them what they know, and start your research from that.
European take what they learn from each other, and because that everybody else information is discredit simple because they are not European or White!

The simple fact is human and world history is much older than Europeans are admitting and release to the general public. Humans are every old, but if you go by evolution we are not at all?
In Africa in Southern Africa and in the country of South Africa in the Blombos Caves. Human remains have been found that are 75,000 to 175,000 years ago!

This blows everything apart far as dates because humans supposedly only stated culture 10,000 to 15,000 years ago? So how were these early humans in South Africa buring their dead with artifacts/ beads and jewelry if there was no culture then?

One answer I personally pose is that there are six (6) main geological time periods in the history of the world, this is caused by mass extinction and starting of a new dominant spices of life {plants, reptiles or mammals}.

During these mass extinction what if some type or form of humans or humanoid lived, but was destroyed with other life on earth expect small pockets of people like a family, group or tribe?

Now you have these small pockets of humans scattered across Africa? Each group would grow and populate do to certain factors such as water, food and shelter. Along with stable and predictable weather patterns.

This could help explain such old fossil and artifacts in the Blombos Caves in South Africa?

Women Section: Hyptia

Women History Month/ Hyptia

Hyptia was a woman that lived in Ancient Egypt during Roman occupation of Egypt. This period is known as the end of the classic period of Ancient Egypt.

*Tip
Classic period: is a time frame when science and arts flourish in a culture.

Hyptia was said to be Greek, but some suggest she was bi-racial of Greek and Egyptian {African} blood. Hyptia lived between 335 to 405? She was the head of the Platonist school in Egypt, were she taught philosophy and astronomy. She was noted for her works in mathematics.

She is known as the first recorded woman of mathematics in history? She was known to be active about her political views. Which at the time would have been about the Counsel of Nicaea and the Bishops of Alexandra. {The Christian Bible as we know it today}

It was said she was killed by a mob of Christian {monks}, because of her political views.

This is another tragedy, the attack of women since Greeks times.

**Tip
It must be consider, it was the European Jews/ non- Hebrews and Greeks that insulted a alpha male as a God. From this point forward women have been losing rights and their value in society. If a person is consider second in life, even the value of that persons life becomes secondary!

We thank Hyptia for her beliefs and views, even if her views differ from my personal views greatly!

The Vernors company  was trademarked in 1911. It is not the oldest ginger ale soda in America, but it is the oldest surviving ginger ale soda in America to this day!

Detroit and Vernors do hold the title for the oldest ice cream float in America. Long before A & W the most popular ice cream float in America.
