Chapter six talks about The Americas and Africa and how much they accomplished, and how much culture they had, for how little of them there were. I thought this chapter was very interesting because this chapter focused on some religions in both the Americas and Africa. One religion they talked about focused on the Bantu people of Africa and how they were occupied in southern and central Africa.
When we think about Africa, we think about how we all migrated from that region, however, during this time only abut eleven percent of the world's population occupied Africa. Nubia was a Nile Valley civilization that was competitive for material wealth and land. The did a great job building a civilization near the Nile river allowing for agricultural needs and transportation. However, the people who decided to migrate out of Egypt was able to find habitable regions in places such as the Niger river where city states were a useful idea for civilization.
