THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY


The human migration that happened in Africa played a key role in the way the cultural landscape of Africa is now. This human movement shaped the way goods and services were spread throughout the world.

 The two majors migrations that happened was the Bantu and the African slave trade. The Bantu migration happened over 2,000 years ago.  The Bantu Migration was a south-eastern movement. The Bantu migration had an enormous impact on the African economic, cultural and political practices. the Bantu migration introduced many skills to communities one of them being the ability to grow and cultivate crops and how to forge and make tools and weapons from metal. this allowed the communities to spread and cultivate new land of wide physical properties. The widespread and exchange of ideas helped the hunter gatherer communities evolve into more advanced communities that were far more efficient. This was the beginning of what we know as Africa today. No one really knows why the Bantu migration occurred. There is not one solid reason why, but I conclude that maybe they just wanted a change of scenery.
The Bantu people tended to live in small villages governed by chiefs, councils or elders. The location of Bantu villages were never permanent. They moved on when the resources in the land became exhausted.

I mean the Bantu tribe was highly advanced for their era. Their nomadic nature helped spread farming practices and also had a large influence on political and social practices. No wonder everyone one wants a piece of Africa. The vast amount of resources that is available in Africa. Yet since we haven't developed fully as a continent. Our people lack the knowledge on how to exploit these resources to make a profit. The beginning of Africa wasn't always easy. Africa still remains broken and somewhat divided over past historical events like the slave trade. but believe it or not the slave trade also had a huge impact on the worlds cultural practices today.

Stay listening its just the beginning
