    About this ebook

    The words 'science' and 'Africa' are not expected to be found in the same sentence as ancient Africans are often tagged 'a primitive and uncivilised people'. Of course, we all know that science has no place in primitivity, or does it in respect to African primitivity?

    Permit me to shock you - science in ancient Africa was present all over the African continent and beyond. It is difficult to place science in Africa to just one region or tribe.

    This easy-to-read book of 32 pages with real photos of well researched and mind-blowing history, unearths true stories of Africans and African communities in ancient times who used science to solve problems and to develop their society. You will be amazed at what Ancient Africans were capable of inventing.

    If you have ever wondered what the African continent was doing before slavery and colonialism came into play, this is the book for you as it answers all your burning questions on 'Science Inventions in Ancient Africa, Before Slavery and Colonialism'.

      Interesting concept, with me learning a few new facts about the continent of Africa that I wasn't privy too before. It would have been great if the book itself was a little bit longer and more detailed.
