Africa was linked to Europe by the land bridge of Sicily, which led to the migration of the Andonites to Africa. [12]
Few Andites penetrated beyond the headwaters of the Nile on their migrations in Africa. Some mongrel Andites descended below the equator, but none reached Madagascar. [13] The natives of Africa are among the most recent pastoral peoples. [14] Neanderthals spread everywhere from what is now China to France and even descended to North Africa over the land bridge of that time. [15] The Nodites Spread across North Africa. [16]
Colored races were unable to penetrate Africa for long because of the vast Mediterranean Sea. When they were able to do so thanks to a land passage, only the orange, green and indigo races migrated to Africa. [17] Prereptiles first evolved in Africa from frogs. [18] Africa was the first appearance of reptiles, 140 million years ago. [19]
African tribes have resorted to cannibalism as a measure of warfare, to frighten their enemies. [20] Much worship of fetish stones has been had in Africa. [21] Even today in Africa beliefs are held such as that the rainbow is a snake. [22] The umbilical cord is still regarded today as a highly prized fetish object. [23] Egyptians and many African tribes believed in ka and ba, two factors of existence in the individual. [24] Africans still purchase their wives following an ancient belief that property is more valuable than conjugal love. [25]
The practices of Christian missionaries in Africa trying in a single generation to change ancestral customs have only caused confusion and a loss of authority. [26] Salem missionaries penetrated the most remote tribes of Africa. [27] Simon Zealots died in the heart of Africa preaching across the Nile. [28] Thomas preached among other places in North Africa.
