Season 0 Episode 2: Languages and Prehistory
09/28/20 • 25 min
Today we look into the origins of modern humanity, the spread of humans across the African continent, and the linguistic families that form the basis of most modern African cultures.
Later Edit: I didn't realize at the time that "Berber" is actually something of a derogatory word for the Amazigh peoples of North and West Africa. Oops.
