The first recorded detailed writings in Africa were those written by the Egyptians in 4000 BC. They showed some truly astonishing intelligence, built pyramids and had presented the world with an amazing civilization. Many scientists and academics believe that if you are to look back in time to decipher which was the first civilization on our planet, you should look at who had the first comprehensive writings, this means it would have been the Egyptians. Even before this, over 100,000 years ago, the plains of Africa were very different. Fossils showed that they supported Homo sapiens, which are the same genus as us.
The African Countryside was as said, very different to the desolate plains it is now. At the end of the Ice Age about 10,500 years ago, the Sahara desert was actually a very lush green meadow of land. This sort of area would have meant that growing livestock and grain would have been easy. When you then think of where the continent of Africa is on our planet it is easy to see why the land became desert. The populous would have moved to more lush grounds. At three thousand BC, there were some cultures who had domesticated creatures like the humble mule to do farm jobs for them.
