Ancient African History: The Ancient Kingdom of Ghana (West Africa Part 1)

Some Background to this Post:  Hello all, this post and others to follow have gotten sidetracked due to other life commitments, but here it is for any that are interested. The previous post dealt with Ancient Southeast Africa, the Land of the Zanj approximately where Tanzania lies today. Now I am coming with the history of Western Africa, these are the states of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. This information came from a book I read on Ancient African history, and newer sources that I found online. I think we can learn a few telling things from this history and others like it, namely: Much of the economy of the Western African states, especially as far as trade with other states relied on Gold, and slavery. Gold, and slaves were sent to the Northern Berber, and Arab states, whereas they would obtain such things as salt, cloth, dried fruits, etc., towards the South.

  13 Fascinating Scientific Facts About Blue Eyes Story by Amanda Gardner  •  2w   Like most human traits, blue eyes are determined by genes, and no two people have exactly the same hue.

Raceology . n. " A scientific analysis of racial differences."  William Shockley Hello, and welcome. The purpose of this site is to explore racial science, race realism, race relations, and ethnography. Unfortunately these issues are shunned by both the mainstream media, and academia, and too often when controversial perspectives are presented they are done so from a supremacist, or extremely distorted and not a  race realist  perspective.  This site aims to present a factual, and fair representation of races, and race differences, though obviously based on the idea that not all groups are equal in their abilities, and not all societies are equal in terms of fairness, and liveability, what is said of some races, ethnicities, and societies and countries may be less flattering than what is said of others. I will try to keep everything presented based either on factual well-researched data, unless it is an opinion piece which may be composed more of anecdotal...
