According to author Kenneth Feder, he asserts that “the evolution of modern human being was a geographically broad process, not an event restricted to single region.” In this paper I will examine the two models and give evidence of why the replacement model is a more proficient model to accept as the basis for the evolution of the anatomically modern humans. The replacement model states that from Africa premodern humans evolved into to Homo Sapiens and spread from Africa all the way to Europe and Asia about 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. From modern human migrations out of Africa premodern human beings (Neanderthals) were replaced by a more intelligent and advanced population of anatomically modern human beings. Replacement model asserts that premoderns couldn’t compete with Homo Sapiens, so slowly but surely premoderns became extinct due to the shortage of resources being taken by the more developed Homo Sapiens. Feder suggests that for a time Homo Erectus and Homo Sapiens lived in the same regions as one another but because Homo
The slave trade impacted Africa’s population, turning it into half of what it was expected to be in 1850. Organization of the Trade: 1. Triangle trade is a trade network in which slaves from Africa were carried to the Americas, sugar, tobacco, and other goods were carried from the Americas to Europe, and European products were sent to the coast of Africa to trade for the slaves and start the whole network. African Societies, Slavery, and the Slave Trade 1. Europeans made slave trade acceptable by saying that is was already practiced in the continent and they were not the first.
Although Yoruba people live on the west coast of Africa, they can also be found in the eastern Republic of Benin and Togo. Because the majority of the slaves brought to the Americas were from West Africa, some descendants can also be found in Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbean, and the US. In addition, there are many Yoruba’s who are living in Europe, particularly Britain; since Nigeria was once a British colony. The Yoruba are one of the largest cultural groups in Africa. They have created a strong economy through farming, trading, and art production.
So in 1482 the Portuguese built a built a fort at Elmina [the mine] to protect their trade and they then spread across the Gold Coast. The Portuguese enjoyed a monopoly for nearly 100 years. Europeans are attracted. English, Dutch, Sweedes and Danes all wanted to share opportunities offered. African Solution: indigenous slavery.
His “Africa for the Africans” or “Back to Africa” philosophy, as it is also referred, derived from Garvey’s aspiration to create a great nation in Africa for the Negro people of the world, believing; “The time has really come for the Asiatics to govern themselves in Asia, as the Europeans are in Europe and the Western world, so it is wise for the Africans to govern themselves at home. Africa shall develop an aristocracy of its own, but it shall be based upon service and loyalty to race” (Garvey 999). This exclusive view and belief in the superiority of race was a polarizing force for many during Garvey’s lifetime and continues into the present. I, myself, even became entrapped initially by the superficiality of such views and the brazenness of his words. However, in the course of further study and insight into the mind of Marcus Garvey through his work, it became apparent that this plan is merely a means to an end, a means for the African people to raise themselves up and triumph
Europe quickly became the dominant region over the economic aspects of the Columbian Exchange, however their social influence in the Americas and Africa developed slower during the time period of 1492 to 1750. In the mid-fifteenth century, European interest in Africa expanded from goods to incorporate slaves. Europeans began to take over African civilizations and keep natives as their slaves. This was not a new practice to keep war captives as slaves. However the Europeans began to export these African slaves across the globe to established colonies in both North and South America for the first time.
Special occasions owned a distinctive type of African music. The African Diaspora, West African music, and music of the Colonies all had various musical instruments. West African music was representative, or the head of African music before the slave trade to America. It was incomparable to any other music in the style of which it was played as well as the motivation as to why it was played. West African music was documented around the 1600's when explorers kept note of what had been found when traveling.
African presence 1 Afro- Mexicans Blanca Vazquez BLAS 140A African Presence 2 When we think of Mexico we have this idea of a Western-dominated world and for the most part a falsified creation of Spanish influence. In all history books the Europeans are looked at as the settlers and slave owners that made the American civilization and developed the Americas, however this has been proven to be unreal though substantial evidence. Much research has been done about the misconception that the first Africans to reach the Americas where slaves. The reality is that African culture impacted central America and we see it most emphasized in Mexican culture. Historical accounts, archaeological finds, and
PGPH 1 The roots of African-American cuisine may be traced back to 1619, when the first African slaves were sold in the New World. In order to provide the farm labour needed to grow crops, Europeans forcefully transported many Africans. West Indians were also forcefully transported to the U.S. since the West Indies (in the Caribbean Sea) was part of the slave route to
