Another of those articles that suggests everything great came from Africa. The funny thing is, why did so little of the civilization the Afrocentrists claim originated in Africa stay there? Were they only able to export greatness?

And Cleopatra was descended from one of Alexander's Greek/Macedonian generals (Ptolemy), and the Ptolemeian dynasty primarily inter-married as well.

Yep. If--as the infamous "Dr." Leonard Jeffries asserted--astronomy, higher mathematics, and engineering all arose from the dark continent and was STOLEN by The Man, how come the largest telescope is not in Kenya; why did no Africans protest when Newton and Leibnitz were sparring over who came up with Calculus first; how come the great engineers of Africa couldn't manage to bring running water to even 1% of its people?
