AFRICA: The Most Diverse Continent.
Показать описание
#africa #african #Africamusic
Africa is a region of considerable genetic, linguistic, geographic, cultural, and phenotypic diversity. In fact, the world's 20 most diverse countries are all African. This is the most diverse continent in the observable universe.
Welcome to Afroartista Films and here are 5 reasons why Africa is the most diverse continent in the world. Remember to subscribe to Afroartista Films for more African-themed mini-documentaries.
1. Weather.
The climate of Africa is a range of climates such as the equatorial climate, the tropical wet and dry climate, the tropical monsoon climate, the semi-arid climate, and the desert climate (hyper-arid and arid), and the subtropical highland climate. The diverse climates of Africa range from scorching deserts to icy glaciers, from steamy rainforests to grassy plains.
Africa is, arguably, the most diverse continent in the world. It's 11.7 million square miles of land is rich in biodiversity, featuring forest, woodland, savannah, grassland, desert, wetland, and marine ecosystems.
2. People.
There are over 3,000 different ethnic groups speaking more than 2,100 different languages in all of Africa. We have the extremely tall Maasai, the very short Khoisan who were once called bushmen and pygmies, and such a variety of skin tones and facial features that you just can't lump them together as a single group. There are more than 2000 distinct ethnolinguistic groups in Africa, speaking languages that constitute nearly a third of the world's languages.
Experts suggest that Africa’s high levels of ethnic diversity are not mysterious in origin since they are a consequence of the early modern slave trade, and its large standard deviation in ethnic diversity is the result of internal variation in a latitudinal spread, state size, and urbanization.
3. Cultures.
Africa's rich history and culture are so diverse that it varies not only from one country to another but also within regions and countries. The culture of each ethnic group holds together the authentic social fabric of traditional practices and rites, art, music, and oral literature through which identities are built.
4. Languages.
Its 54 countries and 11 territories are home to an estimated 3000 distinct ethnic groups speaking over 2000 languages. By comparison, Europe, which has about an eighth of the world's population, has only about 300 languages.
Africa's linguistic diversity can even be found among individual Africans. For instance, a study of 100 inhabitants in a city in western Uganda found that the average speaker knows 4.34 actual languages.
5. Food.
African food is as diverse as its sovereign countries and communities. There is no such thing as one African cuisine. Each region has its particularities, and this immensely rich diversity makes African cuisines unique from region to region. The cuisine differs even within countries. Nigeria, for instance, has 200 plus languages. Each of these different cultures has a distinct cuisine.
Northern regions like Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria tend to have couscous-based dishes and use spices like cumin or cinnamon. Eastern regions like Ethiopia would use grains like teff and spice blends like berbere, among others.
In countries like Kenya or Tanzania locals tend to consume maize dumplings (called ugali) or spiced tender grilled goat. Southern regions of Africa have their versions of dumplings – also mostly corn-based – but sometimes they’re prepared with a grain called millet. Going up the Southern coast, countries like Mozambique or Angola have more seafood in their diets and locals tend to use spices a lot.
In West Africa, food will also vary from country to country. In Nigeria dishes are often served with yam or cassava dumplings (called fufu) and spicy hot soups. Ghanaians would use fermented corn patties (known as kenkey). In Cote D’Ivoire, what would be used is fermented cassava couscous and plantain dumplings for a traditional dish called foutou. In Senegal, they would prefer broken rice or millet couscous. While in Guinea or Mali, the fonio grain is king.
