A continent that birthed many royal men and women, now holds the title for the most corruption, it is plagued with conflicts. Africa…

the continent, Africa is regularly at the forefront of global discussion in regards to food security, shortages, malnutrition and food-related trade agreements. Almost the contemporary “poster child” of global food inequality, Africa is approached through a rather unique perspective: Instead of being seen as the systematic product of unfair integration into globalization – having its resources stripped, forced to sign lossmaking trade agreements, etc., -- Africa is approached as a continent that…

These slaves were transported on the triangular trade route and its middle passage to the New World. These slaves were majorly from the central and western parts of the continent that were sold by their fellow African s to the European Slave traders (Michelle 2012). Very few of which were captured the slave traders in coastal raids directly. The transatlantic slave is unique in that it took around four centuries; it mistreated…

The Stolen Legacy speaks about social reformation through new philosophies. By subverting people’s beliefs of origins, it establishes a new hierarchy or understanding of world order. In this way, the Greeks stole the Legacy of the African Continent and called it their own. This has shifted power from Africa to Europe, who believe they have civilized most of the worlds undeveloped populations. As a result of this dishonesty has been the creation of an inaccurate world opinion. It has meant that…

Natural selection is a key mechanism of the evolutionary process and relates to the occurrence of certain traits within a population and they way in which these traits affect the survival and reproductive success of an organism. Organisms need to be able to adapt to their environment in order to survive and reproduce. Any advantageous traits that occur within a population increase an individual’s chance of survival, thus resulting in the organism producing more offspring than those who have not…

continued to thrive on Earth up until the End of the Cretaceous Period. With Pangaea broken up during the Jurassic Period, it was during the Cretaceous that the land masses Laurasia and Gondwanaland continued to finally break apart, forming the continents we see today. The climate during this period was mostly warmer and humid than the weather of today, due to the active volcanism associated with the sea-floor spreading. Although most of the organisms of the Cretaceous Period were present…

to 200 million years ago, “a slab of watery oceanic crust slipped down below North America”. According to Weiss,”This provides strong evidence tying ancient surface water with diamond formation at depths of 150 to 200 km (93 to 124 miles) below continents”. These scientists aren’t saying that diamonds form solely and directly from seawater, they are saying that fluids from the oceanic crust may have reacted with continental rocks and created the right environment at which diamonds…
