1.Why do you think
early Europeans believed Africa did not form part of human history?The
information I learned from the film "Africa a History denied" did not
startle me. This video taught me that white people, long before enslavement,
had distorted and changed the history of Africa. For instance, the fundamental
goal of the movie was to portray Europeans as the forerunners of African
civilization (Ancient World, 2017). Even the validity of African culture has
been disputed, such as the remaining ruins. Additionally, Africa was depicted
by Europeans as the depraved contrast of Europe. Europe's general supremacy
would be obvious in comparison with and in contradiction to this image. Thus,
Europe's perception of itself was grounded on its acuity of Africa (Ancient
World, 2017). As a result, Africa is characterized exclusively in terms of how
it was colonized, civilized, and divided, and any curiosity in how the
continent was previously is satisfied outside the curriculum.
