TRIPLE HERITAGE
I found the discussion of the Triple Heritage as discussed by Ali Mazuri in my opinion to be a truthful caparison of the development of Africa, both agriculturally and physically. The Primary cities of Africa differed from one another in a way the effects of climatic changes took place, each one being unique in its own way.
The traditional Africa, The west and Islam made up the “Triple threat”. According to Mazuri.
The traditional Africa was one that was created and housed the early logged Africans that became pioneers to develop the land by cultivating and planting food to help their live.
In the beginning Africa was considered to be split, one side being the western side being African and the other side being Arabic. The separation of the contintinent of Africa was due to natural catechism. Although it is not sure as to how the separation of the continent of Africa came about or perhaps the European power being strong enough to cause a separation of such a big developing continent. This theory was stated by Ali Mazuri in the video.
The physical environments of each society provided the different village an opportunity to profit from the fruits of their area, but not without a price. I mean there were many patterns of drought as much as provided “fruitfulness”. The survival of each area depended on what or where the people lived. Each area provided their own cultural development, whereas the
different stages of the land made the people in that area adaptable to all that the land would provide a page in the history of Africa. One of the main developments was the agriculture of each area i.e. hunting-primarily. The opportunity to grow your own food gave each society their own mark in Africa’s development, and gave a sense of independence. The growing of your own food not only allowed the feeding of their society but gave a since of individuality. The altitude, temperature of the continent became a factor in the of the regions ability to provide food for the people populating he area.
The cultural evolution of each society emerged around the trial and error of each person occupying the area, the development of tools that actually helped to assure that they were able to continue to provide food for their well-being. The way the population worshiped was also divided some worshiping at the Mosque, depending on which side of the Red river you lived on.
Africa is considered to be the birthplace of the first man and the different evolutions that came about were considered to be pioneered by the Africans. The developments in technology were and rightfully so be credited to the African society, for they endured many obstacles to obtain the rightful respect of being a superior being.
