The Archaic Humans of West Afrika

The video challenges the idea that modern West Africans primarily descend from ancient West Africans, pointing to the Ogolian hyper-arid period and dominance by archaic humans. Despite the existence of "ghost archaic DNA," modern West Africans trace their ancestry to the Shum Laka culture, not the archaic humans. Recent studies by Arun Durvasula and Sriram Sankararaman suggest introgression by an unidentified archaic hominin, contributing 2 to 19% of present-day Africans' ancestry. Specific genes with high archaic segment frequencies prompt the need for further analysis of modern and ancient African genomes. Despite attempts to misinterpret data for racist agendas, Marc Lipson et al.'s findings indicate modern West Africans derive 2% from archaic humans, 10% from the first Homo Sapien Sapiens in Africa, and 88% from a Hapi River Valley continuum.

Today I’m talking to Professor Elijah Zehyoue on Walter Rodney’s magnum opus: How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. Professor Elijah Zehyoue is a historian of politics, religion, and social change in Africa and the African Diaspora. As a specialist of West African History, Professor Zehyoue's research is focused on the impact of slavery and colonialism on West African polities and people in the 19th and 20th century.

Professor Zehyoue's book The Invisible Hands of War will be released in the coming years.

It's hard to believe but silver was at one time worth more than gold. China used silver as their currency and the West had to pay in silver for Chinese goods. This angered the British and so they sought a commodity that the Chinese would be forced to buy. China did not covet any goods that the West had except one: Opium.

China's lust for silver helped establish their formidable economic position on the global stage. However, Western powers were reluctant to engage in silver trade and in their search for an alternative avenue they discovered something that would change history forever: Opium. As opium surged throughout the nation, it brought forth multifaceted societal issues, ultimately fueling the harrowing Opium Wars. These conflicts marked the onset of a devastating "Century of Humiliation" for China, leaving an indelible mark on its history and global standing

The UK is sending some of Ghana's "crown jewels" back home, 150 years after looting them from the court of the Asante king.

A gold peace pipe is among 32 items returning under long-term loan deals, the BBC can reveal.

The Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) is lending 17 pieces and 15 are from the British Museum.

Ghana's chief negotiator said he hoped for "a new sense of cultural co-operation" after generations of anger.

Hey everyone, just a quick video reading off an interesting article on the subject of how Medieval Africans handled Pandemics (though the article says "Ancient Africans" a bunch, medieval is much more appropriate), so that I can meet my 2020 New Year's Resolution of posting 9 videos before 2021! Apologies for my struggles pronouncing some of the words in this article, you wouldn't believe how many tries it took to get some of them even close to right lmao.
