Wow!! Relearning everything we we were taught!
Not if you read between the lines. The areas of Africa where advanced civilizations occurred were in Northern Africa. I don't think there's ever been any question that the people there were Mediterranean, not African. Even tales of Atlantis, the Phoenicians, and Moses journey support that.
Anyone who has studied the Minoan civilization knows that the Ancient Greeks had ties with Egypt. Civilization came thru the Mediterrean sea, not from Africa northward.
Wow!! Relearning everything we we were taught!

Not if you took time to examine the evidence.. Egyptian paintings show them as being light skinned with blue eyes and straight hair... The blue eyes , at least in the tomb paintings , were usually blue gemstones (and were often stolen).
To mix metaphors, the proverbial indoctrination emperor has no clothes!
I suppose that blows the mythical "University of Timbuktu" all to hell, too.
Unless DNA and genetics is also a cultural appropriation...
