It is generally accepted that humanity was born somewhere on this continent, some 1 million to 750000 years ago, making Africa our ancestral home. It is in all of us, coded into the twisted ladder of our DNA, imparting its instinctual wisdom to us in subconscious emotions, in primal responses; it has taught us to fear, to exalt, to hate, to love.
A few examples, then, of the art that today comes from the cradle of mankind...
