From Nothing actually a time waay before europeons the sahara desert was a rain forest and africans were the most advanced humans on the planet they had understand of things that to this day we dont have a understanding of. But at some point within 50 thousand years ago a meteor hit the north atlantic ice sheet (greenland) erased nearly everything that was built and causing the rain forest to dry up and turn into the sahara while also setting back human progress back to nearly cave men as time went on what was left of the africans and there knowledge slowly began to recover but shortly After that the europeons had began to explore the continent and had the advantage of being able to commit genocide. But underneath the sahara is where africas REAL history is that is where early humans began to become civilized and learn about space and science. That is how they found the pyramids and many other unexeplained highly advanced structures. Todays science is based of findings and theories from information gathered decades ago and due to very unstable political issues in africa we havent been able to explore more and really see what else is to be discovered. Which is very sad becuase today people assume that there african ancestors just danced around fires and made crazy jewlery which couldnt be further from the truth most of the history of this planet has been lost and mainsteam scientests deny anything that they are not aware of .
Little strawberry yeah that’s why those clothes that Europeans used like the French back in the 1700s looked so advanced in the military those were African clothes that is from when the Africans came to Europe around the 8-16th century to civilize Europeans
Great work brother.Senegalese were the first Africans to meet Portuguese. It was these bumpy experiences that made the Portuguese more careful and better prepared when they arrived in Ghana in 1471.They had plenty of gifts and peace offerings and were able to charm the chiefs. That would sadly set up stage for them to build those Elmina Castles which later became Slave dungeons.
It was. But you're simplifying it a lot. First you forget that Portuguese had been enslaved and subjugated for Centuries by "Muslim Moors", mostly Arabs and Berbers that Portugal (born in 1143) defeated in Portugal Territories in 1249. The Age of Discovery started with Portuguese conquering Ceuta (Muslim Moors City in North Africa in 1415). In 1441 they were not well received in Senegal at all. Portuguese mission was to reach India, the source of Asian Resources like spices, silks, etc and that happened 'cause the Ottomans had controlled all trading in the Mediterranean Sea. From 1470 (Ghana) to 1543 (Japan) Portuguese established ports all over Africa and Asia mostly with alliances not conquests. The Elmina Castle wasn't built in 1482 for slaves. Those were warehouses to stock Ivory, Gold and Weapons that Portuguese traded with local tribes. And did so for many years. And the Elmina Castle was conquered by Dutch and afterwards British. Enslaving People and trading slaves was common in all the World and in Africa for centuries before any European landed in Africa. Let's forget that Egypt enslaved Millions of Hebrews in the Ancient Times. But in that Medieval Era there was slave trade with Africans at least since the Ummayad Caliphate conquered all Arabia, Levante, Mesopotamia, North Africa and part of the Iberian Peninsula in the 7-8th Centuries AD. All strong African Kingdoms participated in both the Muslim Slave Trade and the Atlantic Slave Trade. Ghana Empire, Mali Empire, Asante, Dahomey, Kingdom of Benin, Kingdom of Kongo, etc. They all enslaved weeker tribes around them and trade them for resources both with Muslim and European Kingdoms. And also between them. And refused to obey the British Abolishing Act of 1833. Continued to it and using slaves in their own plantations.
This was great as always and exactly the kind of content I want to see on CZcams! The timing of the European-African encounters coincides with the decline and eventual fall of the Byzantine Empire, forcing Europeans to find alternative routes to East Asia. Also very important to highlight that relations were on equal footing in the beginning, with the looks of the West Africans being a curiosity, but not a sign of "inferiority" as it became later for some reason. I would love to have heard how West Africans described Europeans, but any writings on that are probably burnt to ashes or locked away in one of those desert libraries currently under threat.
I believe in the early 16 Th century one African King gave his daughter to a nobleman from Portugal and they sail back to Europe she had over 300 retainers that went with her.
Incredible how the Nominka warriors were able to beat the Portuguese Navy in skirmishes at their Navy was the most renowned in Europe! Excellent video once again Jabari !
The poison arrows used by West Africans terrified the Portuguese. Conversely the crossbow was found to be much more of a useful weapon by the Portuguese then their cannon or guns. Usually it was when Portuguese were were caught unawares and ambushed that they took the most casualties. The Portuguese tended to retreat the the first sign of trouble. The larger scale battles resulted in more of a stalemate with high casualties.
Kwaku Appiyah The Roman Empire eventually controlled the entire Mediterranean coast of Africa, adding Egypt in 30 BCE, Creta et Cyrenaica in 20 BCE, and Mauretania in CE 44, They crushed the Africans with ease with there minimum of soldiers while the Africans had way more and still got destroyed. Romans had amazing military tactics and defence mechanisms against huge waves of enemy’s.
Swapper Hopper2.0 Blah Blah Blah, What’s your point? No where did I say the Romans weren’t a cool army. I simply stated that the Nubians defeated them, are you disputing that ?

Great video, I'd always wondered how people communicate in such encounters. It never crossed my mind that they'd kidnap people to learn Portuguese and act as translators.
Its easy, this is how it went(words and hand signals). European: " Me want tis land me take, you work me, you no work(sign) you die(sign slaughter) African: " ...................................(sign)"
@Dalavar Redclaw Thats a completely emotional driven comment and a huge generalization no they were not trying to exploit us form the you have to get over that hate

We, Somalis, have been fighting the Portuguese since 1500s. We were successful. We already had ties with Sultan of Oman & The Ottomans. The Ottomans helped us with weapons. And we kept our coast (longest in Africa) free until Oman and Ottomans declined and Europeans combined to divide us (France, Italy & Britain).
Can you do a video on the specific encounters of different african empires with the europeans like the benin empire, ashanti and what they thought of them?
Isaac Fila Diakite, please don't make me laugh. Not sure in other parts of Africa, but in the Kongo Kingdom prior to the arrival of Portuguese it was revealed to them, yet they ignored. Still the same today, Kimpa Vita came with messages, we ignore, Mfumu KIMBANGU came with messages we ignore. Your president and my president know Mfumu Kimbangu's message, they ignore, even Trump knows. Sorry, we Africans...
Danny Cardona not really europe would not be as rich there will be no colonisation but it would still be a lot richer trading from africa . But africa even before colonisation was technological backward and economical backward compare to east asia europe and middle eastern
Mr Football not economically (sorry) but technologically yes. Africa is less tech advanced compare to europe and africa specially in terms of war like weapons and armor
Mr Football well muskets are freaking weak against like bows and crossbows but europe introduced tanks and more powerful guns that why they were able to conquer africa even though afrca has numerical advantages

@Adrian Bradey Landlords And Strangers, Ecology, Society, And Trade In Western Africa, 1000-1630 is the one that comes to mind, we used it as a major source for the video. I covers the early Atlantic contact.
There's no first contact between Africa and Europe. People on all continents have been interacting since man step foot on this earth. No continent existed in isolation. We all trace our ancestry to one man and one woman.
Study the nature and you will understand human existence, stop following kid's stories of the Bible. Dog gives birth to a dog, a duck to a duck, chicken to a chicken, if you saw peanuts will never come out as cassava. So, Blacks were created blacks as the first on earth, the Chinese/Japanese family equally had their own first couple as the socond on earth, whites since beginning were whites being third on earth etc. Time to wake up.
k ebo, that's the truth of the matter, Africans must expand their thoughts in order to tackle some of the issues that are to date bothering them. Christianity and Islam is a killer to Africans, because it doesn't tell the truth. I meant if you plant a seed of peanuts, it will produce peanuts, and not cassava. Once Africans start to understand the nature, then shall be back in the hands of God or creator and start making greater things for ourselves again, just like the Chinese, Japanese, now the Indians are also coming. We are all created by God, the creator of everything, though differently and in our different times. Adam in Hebrew simply means a man, Eve à woman. If one asks you, who is your father? and you answer is a man, that's absolutely nonsense, your father must have a name, those are Biblical children stories...
Great lesson in and of African History. Proving that we are a people of great decent of strong mighty warriors, black greatness, and black excellence even though we're all imperfect!
Joepie De poepie how is it black supremacy if even one of the very first people to visit Africa said and i quote “It Appears to me a very marvelous thing that beyond the [senegal] river.. etc” .

European originally came trying to strong arm but quickly changed the strategy to peaceful trade encounters...

Another great video bro! 6:16 is the reason it's important to always get a balanced perspective of everything! I'm sure people are shocked to hear that this African tribe had the same thoughts about Europeans as Europeans had about them. I often hear white racists making the argument about how Europeans are advanced compared to Africans and Native Americans and I always ask.....from who's perspective? The movie Rashomon delves into the importance and complexities of varying perspectives. Once again, thanks!
1:12 where is this picture come from? Looks is from the Catalan Kingdom( Terraconensis, Darragona kingdom( galicia,leon,navarre,arago, catalonia, valencia, ruled from Barcelona from 5 Century.
... not really. Why don’t you tell the truth? He didn’t even know who instigated the violence in the beginning. That’s what the title claims to be about... but that’s misleading. He also doesn’t even cite any credible sources of information that shows how he formed all of his opinions. Let’s be REAL here... this video is sloppy as 💩 academically speaking. It’s just a glorified history of Africa. Greeeeaaaat. I actually wanted to learn why blacks have always hated Europeans.... no luck here though. Shitty video.
4:51 That's my ancestral home (BuGanda) right there. It isn't the place where the Portuguese schemed a invasion though. Nonetheless I am proud of my people and I am proud that we didn't get conquered until 1894. It's a sad thing to be proud of, but what do you got to do? Be sad about it?
I wanted to learn who instigated the violence in the beginning. But he doesn’t even know or say. I wanted to learn why Europeans and Black Africans fought in the beginning... and why black people have always hated Europeans.... but sadly no luck academically here.
Could you post some of your videos on Facebook? Or at least this video? I wanna share this on a fb group, but youtube links don't catch much attention since fb removed the autoplay
You think so, huh? I like how you assume that, even though there’s no credible sources of information cited. Two questions for YOU now... who instigated the violence in the beginning? That’s what the title of this video claims to be about. Why do you blindly accept this man’s opinions to be true? Real Scholars question things.

Um no he wasn't. You are welcome to review my sources if you'd like. Why would Europeans sail all the way to East Africa before anywhere else btw. Did you even think before commenting?
@From Nothing, how comes you didnt start with BC with Greece in Egypt? they're your earliest Europeans and you actually mentioned Ancient times but you jumped to Portugal of AD.
He means real Africa which is subsahran Africa. Greeks and Egyptians and Turkians or Anatolians crossed with Egypt all the time all the way to the neolithic era. Mediterranean is cross cultural highway way way before Alexander the Great
Real Africa is all of Africa. The current people of North Africa is a result of the many invasions that take place in Northern Africa: Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Phoenician, Vandals and Arabs. Much like how the current population of the West is a result of invasion, colonization and slavery.
Eve-Lyn Express The natives of North Africa have always been Caucasoids, and their closest descendants are the modern North Africans. All evidence proves that.
Great video.. I know you hail from West Africa but it would be appreciated if you did some content detailing cushite history and not the kingdom but the ethnic group. Thanks
I was fully ready for this to be a reductive screed about the mean ol whites but you proved to be an actual grown up that doesn’t feel personally attacked by historical events. Man the bar can’t possibly be lower.
@@josephhopkins7456 not a bias but a low expectation. Not a prejudice but a postjudice. The lack of written african records and various reductive historical stories and cultural forces have shrunk the story to “everywhere on earth was a socialist utopia until Europeans arrived.” I do see how that simple a story can be alluring though in light of the fact that there is no higher honor in western culture than that of the perpetual and perennial victim.
@Pusha Tee that's funny how the Romans had bathhouses end aqueducts and were cleaner than all the other European but you just have to look at white people as less than you right?
@Pusha Tee your problem is you think that all the Europeans are the same they never were, that's why you're stupid. Everyone else knows that but you. And not all Europeans ever did look at black people differently. There are writings from them that don't. But you don't read those because they throw a wrench in your narrative
@Pusha Tee you sir are the one who wants all the other people in the world to eat your shit because you're insecure about being black because you were mistreated. It's not anybody else's job to fix you.

@Sentenced to Death only thing in Africa is resources and more resources that the crooked European countries stole once they set there eyes on that continent. I think it's time for them to go back home to the caves.
@Sentenced to Deaththe facts still remain that the brutality that cause buy Europeans can never change what they have done to the African. They installed there puppet system through out Africa so don't sit there and act like it didn't not happen because everywhere Europeans go they bring not but caius and destruction. You not talking to someone who doesn't travel been yo so many African countries and hear the same things about the west pillage and destruction. Maybe you should go and find out for yourself although it wouldn't matter to you because you're not one of us. With a African ancestors. Plus hearing the story from the one who causes the death of so many to this day will never speak the truth about what happened. But I seek truth an don't go buy my feelings. So do some more research then come back and talk to me. Up to this moment Europeans still causing problems in the world look at the middle east. South America, the Caribbean, Asia and around the globe. My eyes and ears are open to the facts.
I don't think that it was the portuguese technology that discouraged the Niominka, west african poison archers were capable of firing many volleys in the time it would have taken to reload an arquebus, and the densely forested region also reduced the effective range of firearms. It sounds more likely to me that the Niominka learned through regional trade that the Portuguese were interested in trading. Great video.
Also Weak bow woods were not common all over Africa. As seen with the elephant bow. Some west Africans had access the high strength and elasticity African species of wood. The reason why Africans poison is because due to the low elasticity of the bow the arrow would travel slower and have less penetration and no overpenetration. Overpenetration gave any human or animal a quick death since they would bleed from both sides with higher volume of blood. Poisoning the arrow could speed up the process of death.
Can i ask about your use of the term sub-saharan? The African union doesn't recognize this as a region, and it is seen in African circles as a creation of the us state department to separate North Africa from the rest of Africa.
I noticed that too and agree with you on that. I'll add that Black people are and have always been in North Africa so first contact should be in ancient tImes not the 15th Century.
I know for a fact that the 1747 map of Africa has the word "NEGROLAND" you would have to look at older maps of Africa but bare in mind also that what we call Africa today, wasn't always called Africa.
Africa Union has to be politically correct, but i see nothing wrong with Sub Saharan Africa! In the North their culture is very different, they are only in Africa geographically
@@AnalystTosh True and we also not to forget that North Africa is a conquered land by the so callled Arabs. All these name are coloniser's but we have no issues using them for identification until they are toppled and under our feet. "For the LORD will deliver Yaikhubi(Jacob) and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they. "
But why couldn’t Europeans simply leave Africa alone? To this day they still can’t or won’t. What justified such strenuous efforts? The European population was relatively small in the 15th century, so there were plenty of vacant lands in Europe. And Africans weren’t sending any expeditions to Europe for sure. They only wanted to be left alone.
Sub-sahara Africa mined gold that they had traded for centuries. Europeans wanted to be able to buy that gold directly from them rather than have to pay a higher price from Mediterranean middlemen. It's like the fireworks industry. It's much cheaper for a fireworks retailer to buy fireworks directly from Chinese manufacturers rather than buy through an American wholesaler, who buys from the Chinese manufacturers.
Both are valid names for the peninsula. Although there is a minor mix up in the video where Jabari accidentally refers to the Cape Verde islands where he should have said peninsula.
Despite your title, you're actually only talking about west Africa, not the whole of Africa. The East & the North of Africa had contact with Europe way earlier than the 15th century.
@@FromNothing what? the first 30 seconds all I hear is Africa being mentioned & then later you talk about Sub Saharan Africa yet still find a way to generalize the first contact with the region in the context of west Africa judging by the tribes you mention but somehow keep on referencing Africa & Africans like you're not trying to be specific to one region since Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea, Azania (Kenya & Tanzania) are sub Saharan African countries that had contact with the Mediterranean Europeans earlier than the 15th century. Look I'm not saying anything negative or trying to debunk what you're talking about, I'm simply trying to correct your approach on the matter by advising you to be as specific as possible to which group or region you'll be talking about In future since this is the exact same approach you'll get with white people & their media when referencing Africans or Africa. If one side of the continent is poor everyone in Africa is suffering, if one side of the continent has a dictator we all are suffering from dictators, if one side has minerals all African countries are swimming in material wealth, if one African country is having a civil war all African countries are unstable, if one African immigrant finds there way to Europe or America all Africans are migrating to these regions & we'll soon replace them as a majority, if one African has the Ebola every African has Ebola, if there are mud huts in Africa everyone of us is either living in them or we're living on top of trees singing hakuna matata all day. See with the Europeans you instinctively chose Portugal & with the *"west"* Africans you did good by naming actual tribes found there, my only request is for you to try & keep it like that through the whole subject & I'm sure everyone will learn something more worthwhile.
Why? He didn’t even know who instigated the first violence. Nor does he cite any sources of information to show how he formed all of his opinions. Let me guess.... just cuz you’re black?

Hey, man. I have a good topic of discussio for you. Why are the Moors historically depicted in Eyropean art and literature as sub-saharan Africans when they are known to be Berbers? This creates a lot of confusion and I would love to see and indepth analysis of it.
Because not all Moors (or Berbers) were the same color. They are a very diverse people. I made a video on it about a year ago. czcams.com/video/c07rN1JK8_c/video.html
I am a White European (mixed with Turkish) and I am saddened that the history of our ancestors was as hostile as it was in the last few hundread years. My European ancestors didn't always behave as humane and civilised as they made themselves out to be. However, I hope that we can get over our difficult past and live together peacefully in the present. I am not saying that you should forget the past, just remember that the people living today are not the same people as the people from a few hundread years ago. I am facinated by the peoples of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas (and all the rest of the world) and all their respective cultures, religions and myths. The fact that WE ALL made it to this point today means that our ancestors did some things right, otherwise we would be extinct. I just wish we would get along better! We are all relatives. We are all brothers and sisters! As this very big human family, we live together on this planet earth and there are problems awaiting us (global warming/trashification of the environment) that we can only face as a global community, working with each other and not against each other. Hopefully we will realize in time that there is only ONE PLANET and ONE HUMANITY!

I read in a book years ago. It said before Europeans touched Africans lands they were afraid to go there because of stories of Giant men and women with 3 eyes, one in the foreheads. Skin black as night. The people were living gods and goddesses walking the earth!!!! Beasts of the land were as tall as the clouds, gigantic in sizes!! Vast land all over with many exotic creatures, animals, giant ferocious great cats roamed!!! Giant insects that will kill you, river water that would kill you, DEADLY hot sunlight during the days!!! They were afraid to approach Africa.. They heard of Asia and began sailing to trade, they by passed African shores for years and years! If they sailed too close, spears and arrows would fly from the shoreline!!!! They didn't DARE!!! The invaders captured weak unsuspecting tribesmen who were small and nonviolent and used them to their advantage. Realized that the people weren't gods but humans that could be killed.... Then the invasion began...😕
@@Incog80 Barnes and Noble. It's essays from early European explorers on Africa. Don't remember the name of the book. It was a bunch of writings on what the Europeans assumed about Africa.

It was very interesting how they thought about us but then flipped it to disrespect and racist views... Went from magical, amazement, to feared, to disrespect and hatred...

@@FromNothing not true, Out of Africa was over decades ago Re-Examining the "Out of Africa" Theory and the Origin of Europeoids (Caucasoids) in Light of DNA Genealogy Anatole A. Klyosov*, Igor L. Rozhanskii Abstract: Seven thousand five hundred fifty-six (7556) haplotypes of 46 subclades in 17 major haplogroups were considered in terms of their base (ancestral) haplotypes and timespans to their common ancestors, for the purposes of designing of time-balanced haplogroup tree. It was found that African haplogroup A (originated 132,000 ± 12,000 years before present) is very remote time-wise from all other haplogroups, which have a separate common ancestor, named β-haplogroup, and originated 64,000 ± 6000 ybp. It includes a family of Europeoid (Caucasoid) haplogroups from F through T that originated 58,000 ± 5000 ybp. A downstream common ancestor for haplogroup A and β-haplogroup, coined the α-haplogroup emerged 160,000 ± 12,000 ybp. A territorial origin of haplogroups α- and β-remains unknown; however, the most likely origin for each of them is a vast triangle stretched from Central Europe in the west through the Russian Plain to the east and to Levant to the south. Haplogroup B is descended from β-haplogroup (and not from haplogroup A, from which it is very distant, and separated by as much as 123,000 years of “lat- eral” mutational evolution) likely migrated to Africa after 46,000 ybp. The finding that the Europeoid haplogroups did not descend from “African” haplogroups A or B is supported by the fact that bearers of the Europeoid haplogroups, as well as all non-African haplogroups do not carry either SNPs M91, P97, M31, P82, M23, M114, P262, M32, M59, P289, P291, P102, M13, M171, M118 (haplogroup A and its subclades SNPs) or M60, M181, P90 (haplogroup B), as it was shown recently in “Walk through Y” FTDNA Project (the reference is incorporated therein) on several hundred people from various haplogroups.

Great work brother.Senegalese were the first Africans to meet Portuguese. It was these bumpy experiences that made the Portuguese more careful and better prepared when they arrived in Ghana in 1471.They had plenty of gifts and peace offerings and were able to charm the chiefs. That would sadly set up stage for them to build those Elmina Castles which later became Slave dungeons.
It was. But you're simplifying it a lot. First you forget that Portuguese had been enslaved and subjugated for Centuries by "Muslim Moors", mostly Arabs and Berbers that Portugal (born in 1143) defeated in Portugal Territories in 1249. The Age of Discovery started with Portuguese conquering Ceuta (Muslim Moors City in North Africa in 1415). In 1441 they were not well received in Senegal at all. Portuguese mission was to reach India, the source of Asian Resources like spices, silks, etc and that happened 'cause the Ottomans had controlled all trading in the Mediterranean Sea. From 1470 (Ghana) to 1543 (Japan) Portuguese established ports all over Africa and Asia mostly with alliances not conquests. The Elmina Castle wasn't built in 1482 for slaves. Those were warehouses to stock Ivory, Gold and Weapons that Portuguese traded with local tribes. And did so for many years. And the Elmina Castle was conquered by Dutch and afterwards British. Enslaving People and trading slaves was common in all the World and in Africa for centuries before any European landed in Africa. Let's forget that Egypt enslaved Millions of Hebrews in the Ancient Times. But in that Medieval Era there was slave trade with Africans at least since the Ummayad Caliphate conquered all Arabia, Levante, Mesopotamia, North Africa and part of the Iberian Peninsula in the 7-8th Centuries AD. All strong African Kingdoms participated in both the Muslim Slave Trade and the Atlantic Slave Trade. Ghana Empire, Mali Empire, Asante, Dahomey, Kingdom of Benin, Kingdom of Kongo, etc. They all enslaved weeker tribes around them and trade them for resources both with Muslim and European Kingdoms. And also between them. And refused to obey the British Abolishing Act of 1833. Continued to it and using slaves in their own plantations.
@@brixcosmo someone who didn't get his history lessons from tik tok. Thank you.
Great to see you're back to the game! Can't wait to watch this one!
This was great as always and exactly the kind of content I want to see on CZcams! The timing of the European-African encounters coincides with the decline and eventual fall of the Byzantine Empire, forcing Europeans to find alternative routes to East Asia. Also very important to highlight that relations were on equal footing in the beginning, with the looks of the West Africans being a curiosity, but not a sign of "inferiority" as it became later for some reason. I would love to have heard how West Africans described Europeans, but any writings on that are probably burnt to ashes or locked away in one of those desert libraries currently under threat.
Phrenotopia- ME too! I would love to know how Africans at that time felt about Europeans.
I believe in the early 16 Th century one African King gave his daughter to a nobleman from Portugal and they sail back to Europe she had over 300 retainers that went with her.

Excellent video once again Jabari !
The poison arrows used by West Africans terrified the Portuguese. Conversely the crossbow was found to be much more of a useful weapon by the Portuguese then their cannon or guns. Usually it was when Portuguese were were caught unawares and ambushed that they took the most casualties. The Portuguese tended to retreat the the first sign of trouble. The larger scale battles resulted in more of a stalemate with high casualties.
Kwaku Appiyah The Romans would crush you.
Swapper Hopper2.0 The Romans also crushed almost every other group in Europe loool.
Yet they got crushed by Nubian Africans...

Great video, I'd always wondered how people communicate in such encounters. It never crossed my mind that they'd kidnap people to learn Portuguese and act as translators.
Its easy, this is how it went(words and hand signals).
European: " Me want tis land me take, you work me,
you no work(sign) you die(sign slaughter)
African: " ...................................(sign)"
That was European technique 101 kidnap and then bring back to Europe. They did that everywhere they went.

We, Somalis, have been fighting the Portuguese since 1500s. We were successful. We already had ties with Sultan of Oman & The Ottomans. The Ottomans helped us with weapons. And we kept our coast (longest in Africa) free until Oman and Ottomans declined and Europeans combined to divide us (France, Italy & Britain).

There's no first contact between Africa and Europe. People on all continents have been interacting since man step foot on this earth. No continent existed in isolation.

Study the nature and you will understand human existence, stop following kid's stories of the Bible. Dog gives birth to a dog, a duck to a duck, chicken to a chicken, if you saw peanuts will never come out as cassava. So, Blacks were created blacks as the first on earth, the Chinese/Japanese family equally had their own first couple as the socond on earth, whites since beginning were whites being third on earth etc. Time to wake up.
@@nekongovitankanga hahaha funny
k ebo, that's the truth of the matter, Africans must expand their thoughts in order to tackle some of the issues that are to date bothering them. Christianity and Islam is a killer to Africans, because it doesn't tell the truth. I meant if you plant a seed of peanuts, it will produce peanuts, and not cassava. Once Africans start to understand the nature, then shall be back in the hands of God or creator and start making greater things for ourselves again, just like the Chinese, Japanese, now the Indians are also coming. We are all created by God, the creator of everything, though differently and in our different times. Adam in Hebrew simply means a man, Eve à woman. If one asks you, who is your father? and you answer is a man, that's absolutely nonsense, your father must have a name, those are Biblical children stories...
That is so inarguably true.

He means real Africa which is subsahran Africa.
Greeks and Egyptians and Turkians or Anatolians crossed with Egypt all the time all the way to the neolithic era. Mediterranean is cross cultural highway way way before Alexander the Great
Real Africa is all of Africa. The current people of North Africa is a result of the many invasions that take place in Northern Africa: Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Phoenician, Vandals and Arabs. Much like how the current population of the West is a result of invasion, colonization and slavery.

WHERE IS THIS INFO
The Niominka wanted all the smoke 🤭😂💪🏾
And they lived happily ever after
😂
The whites lived happily ever after.
I don't think that it was the portuguese technology that discouraged the Niominka, west african poison archers were capable of firing many volleys in the time it would have taken to reload an arquebus, and the densely forested region also reduced the effective range of firearms. It sounds more likely to me that the Niominka learned through regional trade that the Portuguese were interested in trading. Great video.
Also Weak bow woods were not common all over Africa. As seen with the elephant bow. Some west Africans had access the high strength and elasticity African species of wood. The reason why Africans poison is because due to the low elasticity of the bow the arrow would travel slower and have less penetration and no overpenetration. Overpenetration gave any human or animal a quick death since they would bleed from both sides with higher volume of blood. Poisoning the arrow could speed up the process of death.
It was a combo of casualties and the Mande kings of the Gambia river going over the Niominka's heads to make peace and secure trade links.
Can i ask about your use of the term sub-saharan? The African union doesn't recognize this as a region, and it is seen in African circles as a creation of the us state department to separate North Africa from the rest of Africa.
I noticed that too and agree with you on that. I'll add that Black people are and have always been in North Africa so first contact should be in ancient tImes not the 15th Century.
I know for a fact that the 1747 map of Africa has the word "NEGROLAND" you would have to look at older maps of Africa but bare in mind also that what we call Africa today, wasn't always called Africa.

I've just been really busy working a job that I hate. I quit it and I'm going back to school so I should have alot more free time now.
Need more videos plz... imma big fan😷😷😷😷😷💯🤘🏾🤙🏼💂🏿♀️💂🏿♀️💂🏿♀️🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Thanks. Be sure to catch me live at 5pm EST tonight. 4 hours from now!
But why couldn’t Europeans simply leave Africa alone? To this day they still can’t or won’t. What justified such strenuous efforts? The European population was relatively small in the 15th century, so there were plenty of vacant lands in Europe. And Africans weren’t sending any expeditions to Europe for sure. They only wanted to be left alone.
Sub-sahara Africa mined gold that they had traded for centuries. Europeans wanted to be able to buy that gold directly from them rather than have to pay a higher price from Mediterranean middlemen. It's like the fireworks industry. It's much cheaper for a fireworks retailer to buy fireworks directly from Chinese manufacturers rather than buy through an American wholesaler, who buys from the Chinese manufacturers.
@EDEUSdisse In a way you’re saying what happened is the muslims kicked the European anthill.. It’s an interesting view.
They did, all these people interacted and mingled from the start of time. It was just cut of for a long period. And yes they did explore
To be clear, Cape Vert, not Cape Verde
Both are valid names for the peninsula. Although there is a minor mix up in the video where Jabari accidentally refers to the Cape Verde islands where he should have said peninsula.
Thank to watched.
Despite your title, you're actually only talking about west Africa, not the whole of Africa. The East & the North of Africa had contact with Europe way earlier than the 15th century.
I already said that within like the first 30 seconds of the video.
@@FromNothing what? the first 30 seconds all I hear is Africa being mentioned & then later you talk about Sub Saharan Africa yet still find a way to generalize the first contact with the region in the context of west Africa judging by the tribes you mention but somehow keep on referencing Africa & Africans like you're not trying to be specific to one region since Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea, Azania (Kenya & Tanzania) are sub Saharan African countries that had contact with the Mediterranean Europeans earlier than the 15th century.
Look I'm not saying anything negative or trying to debunk what you're talking about, I'm simply trying to correct your approach on the matter by advising you to be as specific as possible to which group or region you'll be talking about In future since this is the exact same approach you'll get with white people & their media when referencing Africans or Africa. If one side of the continent is poor everyone in Africa is suffering, if one side of the continent has a dictator we all are suffering from dictators, if one side has minerals all African countries are swimming in material wealth, if one African country is having a civil war all African countries are unstable, if one African immigrant finds there way to Europe or America all Africans are migrating to these regions & we'll soon replace them as a majority, if one African has the Ebola every African has Ebola, if there are mud huts in Africa everyone of us is either living in them or we're living on top of trees singing hakuna matata all day. See with the Europeans you instinctively chose Portugal & with the *"west"* Africans you did good by naming actual tribes found there, my only request is for you to try & keep it like that through the whole subject & I'm sure everyone will learn something more worthwhile.
They did not even discover or use future time when Europeans arrived
Um... what?
Love it♥️
Why? He didn’t even know who instigated the first violence. Nor does he cite any sources of information to show how he formed all of his opinions. Let me guess.... just cuz you’re black? I actually wanted to learn why blacks have always hated Europeans.... but instead it was just a glorified history of Africa. Greeeeaaaat.
Although there are many truths people are different all over the world we are depict as one color and non contributors of the Earth one thing is for certain we will all leave it one day so why waste time with hypocrisy so enjoy it🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hey, man. I have a good topic of discussio for you. Why are the Moors historically depicted in Eyropean art and literature as sub-saharan Africans when they are known to be Berbers? This creates a lot of confusion and I would love to see and indepth analysis of it.
Because not all Moors (or Berbers) were the same color. They are a very diverse people. I made a video on it about a year ago. czcams.com/video/c07rN1JK8_c/video.html
3:04 bruh no wonder they were called “black” instead of brown
Wen both sides had the same weapons Europeans keep running
Don't trust too much
When it comes to outsiders, don’t trust at all.
I am a White European (mixed with Turkish) and I am saddened that the history of our ancestors was as hostile as it was in the last few hundread years.
My European ancestors didn't always behave as humane and civilised as they made themselves out to be. However, I hope that we can get over our difficult past and live together peacefully in the present. I am not saying that you should forget the past, just remember that the people living today are not the same people as the people from a few hundread years ago.
I am facinated by the peoples of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas (and all the rest of the world) and all their respective
cultures, religions and myths. The fact that WE ALL made it to this point today means that our ancestors did some things right, otherwise we would be extinct. I just wish we would get along better!
We are all relatives. We are all brothers and sisters! As this very big human family, we live together on this planet earth and there are problems awaiting us (global warming/trashification of the environment) that we can only face as a global community, working with each other and not against each other.
Hopefully we will realize in time that there is only ONE PLANET and ONE HUMANITY!
Where do you get off thinking you can speak on behalf of Europeans
@@SpiderMan-jt4ve What are you talking about? I am speaking on my behalf, as a European. I never said that my opinion resembles that of all Europeans, did I? Learn to read before you make stupid accusations.
@@ThatWhatIs393 ok then what's with all the 'we this' and 'we that'? Use 'I' instead of 'we'
@@SpiderMan-jt4ve Actually, if you read my comment again carefully, you will find that my usage of the word "we" does not imply what you say it implies. Please name one specific part of my comment where I use "we", that implies that I think that I speak on behalf of all Europeans.
@@ThatWhatIs393 you're not European your Turkish only a small part of Turkey lies in Europe
Athens was established by a Egyptian general.
According to what source?
cujoe Mblakka Lol it was not, and the Egyptians and other North Africans were never black.
those are my ancestors ❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
@Anglus Patria you drunk ? wrong address
Are Fante people European if so how much
First contact...Ha ha yeah right first contact with your children or decendants.
You forgot the Greek-Macedonian Empire (1200BC-146BC), Roman Empire (31BC-476AD) and Byzantine Empire (330AD-1453AD).
I read in a book years ago. It said before Europeans touched Africans lands they were afraid to go there because of stories of Giant men and women with 3 eyes, one in the foreheads. Skin black as night. The people were living gods and goddesses walking the earth!!!! Beasts of the land were as tall as the clouds, gigantic in sizes!! Vast land all over with many exotic creatures, animals, giant ferocious great cats roamed!!! Giant insects that will kill you, river water that would kill you, DEADLY hot sunlight during the days!!! They were afraid to approach Africa.. They heard of Asia and began sailing to trade, they by passed African shores for years and years! If they sailed too close, spears and arrows would fly from the shoreline!!!! They didn't DARE!!! The invaders captured weak unsuspecting tribesmen who were small and nonviolent and used them to their advantage. Realized that the people weren't gods but humans that could be killed.... Then the invasion began...😕
book called?
@@Incog80 Barnes and Noble. It's essays from early European explorers on Africa. Don't remember the name of the book. It was a bunch of writings on what the Europeans assumed about Africa. When they were scared to get close to the shoreline!!! They sailed around the continent, looking and wondering.. It was very interesting how they thought about us but then flipped it to disrespect and racist views... Went from magical, amazement, to feared, to disrespect and hatred...
All human beings ultimately have origins in africa, also its not like africa was ever completely isolated from the rest of eurasia.. so there basically never was a real first contact event
I know... I already said that and clarified what I meant.

Re-Examining the "Out of Africa" Theory and the Origin of Europeoids (Caucasoids) in Light of DNA Genealogy
Anatole A. Klyosov*, Igor L. Rozhanskii
Abstract:
Seven thousand five hundred fifty-six (7556) haplotypes of 46 subclades in 17 major haplogroups were considered in terms of their base (ancestral) haplotypes and timespans to their common ancestors, for the purposes of designing of time-balanced haplogroup tree. It was found that African haplogroup A (originated 132,000 ± 12,000 years before present) is very remote time-wise from all other haplogroups, which have a separate common ancestor, named β-haplogroup, and originated 64,000 ± 6000 ybp. It includes a family of Europeoid (Caucasoid) haplogroups from F through T that originated 58,000 ± 5000 ybp. A downstream common ancestor for haplogroup A and β-haplogroup, coined the α-haplogroup emerged 160,000 ± 12,000 ybp.
A territorial origin of haplogroups α- and β-remains unknown; however, the most likely origin for each of them is a vast triangle stretched from Central Europe in the west through the Russian Plain to the east and to Levant to the south. Haplogroup B is descended from β-haplogroup (and not from haplogroup A, from which it is very distant, and separated by as much as 123,000 years of “lat- eral” mutational evolution) likely migrated to Africa after 46,000 ybp.
The finding that the Europeoid haplogroups did not descend from “African” haplogroups A or B is supported by the fact that bearers of the Europeoid haplogroups, as well as all non-African haplogroups do not carry either SNPs M91, P97, M31, P82, M23, M114, P262, M32, M59, P289, P291, P102, M13, M171, M118 (haplogroup A and its subclades SNPs) or M60, M181, P90 (haplogroup B), as it was shown recently in “Walk through Y” FTDNA Project (the reference is incorporated therein) on several hundred people from various haplogroups.
