The video I linked is in French BECAUSE THAT'S THE LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN SENEGAL.
As for the 'out of Africa' theory, that's still open to debate.
ps. I did not address my comment to you. Your attitude leaves much to be desired.
In 1966, the First World Black Festival of Arts and Culture held in Dakar, Senegal honored Dr. Diop and Dr. W.E.B. DuBois as the scholars who exerted the greatest influence on African thought in twentieth century. In 1974, a milestone occurred in the English-speaking world when the African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality was finally published. It was also in 1974 that Diop and Theophile Obenga collectively and soundly reaffirmed the African origin of pharaonic Egyptian civilization at a UNESCO sponsored symposium in Cairo, Egypt. In 1981, Diop's last major work, Civilization or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology was published.

I see the petty dictators are looking after their own,. Lining up for that BIG FOREIGN AID PACKAGE Obama has promised to dole out. The Bill already passed, the Senate I think, 7% of US GNP per year. ( That rivals US military spending.)
That aid money will go to line their respective pockets, and to but wepons for their next inter tribal genocide,and of course, to "get whitey." ex pats and colonials who create the jobs and business investment in many of those countries.
Enough to make one hurl.
Pomp and Circumstance of petty dictators and the making of an American Fascist.
