AFRICA
 AFRICA: THE DARK CONTINENT

Africa is called dark continent not because of

the complexion of the original inhabitants but
because of most people know little about it.
Africa covers an area as large as the United
States, Wester Europe, India, and China put
together. It has one-fifth of the globe. It
contains 98% of the diamond mines of the
world and 55% of the gold mines. It produces
2/3 of the world’s supply of cocoa and 3/5 of
the world’s supply of palm oil. It has immense
reserves of water power.
 AFRICA: THE DARK CONTINENT

Archaeologist are now becoming increasingly

sure that the first man appeared in Africa.
Fossilized remains of man have been found
there that, when given the carbon dating test,
show man roamed the African continent two
million years ago. No such fossilized testimony
is available anywhere else in the world. Stone
implements have also been found in certain
parts of Africa that testify to two million years
of human occupation.

 NATIONAL PARKS IN AFRICA

The Africans have always lived very close to wild, savage animals.
The people fear them, eat them, and worship them. Animals play a dominant
role in African Mythology and folk stories.
At the national parks, you can see wild animals in their natural habitat without
risk of being harmed. The national parks are zoos in reverse.
There are two basic rules to follow when in national park: first, never
get out of your car; second, never use, fire off, discharge, or explode any
kind of firearm.
The parks are very extensive, some are over 40 square miles. If the
animals get used to the sight of the men walking around, they might be
tempted to wander into town where they might attack people and get shot.

 AFRICAN ART
African art has been copied and imitated by
Western civilization. Government and private
museum or collectors competed in acquiring
primitive African ceremonial masks.
African art is closely associated with religion.
Contemporary dance music is based on African
music with its short rhythm based largely on the
drum beat. African music is bound up with religious
ceremony, composed as a prayer for rain and for
success in hunting and in war. Drums may be
entirely wood, hollowed, and slit; they may be made
of wood and hide--- elephant ears are especially
valued for this purpose.

 AFRICAN LITERATURE

African literature is often oral in nature, may be in prose or in poetry. Storytellers in

Africa often tell stories using the call-and-response technique. Because African
storytellers would expect that his/her audience to give responses or comments.
Poetry is often sung or recited in a singsong voice.
Poetry types include the narrative epic, occupational verse, ritual verse, and praise
poems for rulers or other prominent people.
The praise singers are sometimes called “GRIOTS”
