migration and civilizations

In that the remnants of our earliest ancestors - the Equatorial African tribes - remain living along the Congo River system between the Highlands of Cameroon and the East African mountain ranges and have not evolved very much over millions of years, physically or mentally, it is obvious that no sort of civilization could have evolved without migration.

But not just any migration to anywhere. No distinctly black African civilization evolved following the migration of our ancestors south, towards what is presently South Africa. Similarly, no distinctly black African civilization evolved following the migration of our ancestors northwest, towards what is presently Morocco (later Carthage being a Meditteranean rather than a black African nation city).

Although a civilization based in northeast Africa did evolve following the migration of our ancestors down the River Nile, towards what is presently Egypt, it did not emerge until 4000 BC by which time human beings were occupying every corner of the earth and it thus owed its existence more to its central location to all Mediterranean communities than to anything intrinsically African.

Migration, then, was a necessary precursor for the development of civilization in terms of providing a better gene pool for genius to shine, a better climate in which civilization could flourish and a never ending stream of workers. The most vibrant and lasting civilizations were all built and sustained by migrants.
