Dear Mr. Cooper. It has been PROVEN that AFRIKA is the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION. Should you embrace the scholarship of Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop you shall surely learn of his TWO CRADLE THEORY. I must warn you, that you will need to be very cautious when obtaining such MEDICINE, because an individual of your likes and kind is very prone to OVERDOSING. Diop's medicine caused for him to be denied his Phd a number of times due to the systematic and typical AFRIKAN HISTORY REFUSALS of World-Wide AkkkADEMIA that prevail and KKKontrol institutions of LOWER LEARNING.
Ahem... it's been more or less proven that Africa is the craddle of Humanity (ie. the origin of the genus Homo) however it has not been proven as the craddle of civlization, but named as one of the three possible sites - the Nile Valley, the Fertile Crescent, and the Indus Valley.

While Dr. Diop's work in establishing the conections and interactions between Ancient Egypt and the rest of Africa was groundbreaking, unfortunately the work is now somewhat dated in light of modern scholarship and methods (ie. we have technology for dating and analysis available he didn't) - however he is still a base reference work, just not a primary work any more.
