Step-by-step explanation:

Two Cradle Theory traces the cultural characteristics of African and European concepts, behaviors, values, and beliefs to their origins. The theory thus provides a model that situates Africans in the context of their own cultural paradigm for human development rather than the Western paradigm.

The leading proponent of the theory of cyclicity at this time was G. Vico, who advanced the idea of the cyclical development of all nations—each cycle consisting of a divine, a heroic, and a human epoch. The views of Ibn Khaldun and Vico influenced the subsequent development of the philosophy of history.

Cheikh Anta Diop, he believed that African people formed their society based on Egyptian beliefs and not European customs.
It states that if ancient Kemet had evolved as a patriarchal society, as some Egyptologists claim, it in fact would have remained patriarchal throughout its entire history and therefore be a part of the northern cradle.
