This volume deals with the beginnings of history, from around 500 BC, the date when historical sources begin to embrace all Africa north of the Sahara. It is shown that these northern Africans were not simply passive recipients of other cultures' influences or religions.


When this had been done, the foundations were laid for a wholly African civilization and, by the end of the period, the Bantu expansion had brought almost all the southern half of the continent within its sphere.
