Question

What are the differences and similarities between the emergence of classical civilizations in Africa and America?

Answer 1

Ancient Africa and the Americas were homes to several civilizations in the Ancient World. These civilizations largely arose in fertile river valleys that made it easier for people to practice agriculture, or, the growing of crops, rather than relying on hunting and gathering. Agriculture allowed for the population to grow and also lead to more complex societies with distinctive social classes. These societies were then able to influence their neighbors and leave a lasting mark upon the region and history. In this lesson we will examine two ancient civilizations from both Africa (The Egyptians and Kush) and the Americans (The Olmec and the Andean People). We will look at how each society was structured and their similarities and differences.

Ghana dominated the region between about 750 and 1078. Smaller states in the region at this time included Takrur to the west, the Malinke kingdom of Mali to the south, and the Songhai Empire centred on Gao to the east.
