The first chapter starts at the beginning with Homo Sapiens in Africa … and is pretty much a mixed bag. Although it conforms with the consensus, that consensus is currently under fire (especially the information presented on Neanderthals) … so take chapter 1 with a grain of salt. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem get much better as we get further into the book. For example … in discussing the relationship between Khoi and Bantu, there is a statement about Bantu migration through Europe where they apparently picked up metal refining/working (I have not found any support for this statement). Additionally, the origin myth of the batwa/pygmy people is presented as fact and seems quite improbable (especially lacking citation). By chapter 6 you get an rather incredulous theory of Egyptians coming from a mix of Bantu and Israelites (putting the cultural identity of the latter before the Kingdoms of Egypt … I am pretty sure that is not correct). Now half way through the book the level of questionable scholarship is a serious impediment to any serious recommendation. And so it goes …



Chapter 1 - Homo Sapiens in Africa
Chapter 2 - The San
Chapter 3 - The Hadza
Chapter 4 - The Khoi
Chapter 5 - Pygmy People
Chapter 6 - Israelites in Africa
Chapter 7 - The Bantu
Chapter 8 - Swaziland
Chapter 9 - Khoisan and the Portuguese
Chapter 10 - The Kingdom of Zwide
Chapter 11 - Zululand
Chapter 12 - The House of Mpondo
Chapter 13 - Thembuland
Chapter 14 - Zhosaland

This book is excellent as an entry-level read for Ancient African history. It's, albeit brief, descriptions of differing African tribes were immersive and engaging. I enjoyed that the authors included folk tales with each tribe as well as concise descriptions of government and culture amongst the differing tribes.

I do wish maps were included in the book. Especially where in Africa each tribe was located.

As far as the bibliography goes, this authors used almost 100 hundred sources to write a 175pg book. This book reads as a narrative and is based in research.

Though I would recommend further research into African history, this book is fantastic jumping off-point.

After trying to read this book, I get the feeling that is an AI creation. There is no author or editor. The paragraphs are vague and redundant. There is no timeline as promised, nor or there any maps. Africa is a large continent with lots of cultures and countries, but none of the stories specify where or when they were written.

Fun bedtimes stories but not a lot of substantive facts presented. Read at your own risk.

Amazing! A great overview of African History!

I was excited to discover this book. I enjoyed the overview of the history of Africa. I have never found a book on African History that gave such a conclusive overview of all of Africa.

This book will be read and reread many times. So much information all in one place and much further reading on all topics identified. Not that much further reading will be needed for a long time as there is so much information yet to cover, and folktales for the different areas peoples.

I am totally fascinated! What are you waiting for?

💕Happy Reading! 💕
