(Restructure)".....and how its different cultures/civilizations have.." Explanation: I find "faits" a very Latin-based term and to anglicize it restructuring could be the answer here. Culture or Civilization would be a choice based on context or preference here, but they are not too far apart in any case. ".....and how its different cultures have evolved/developed" ".....and how its different civilizations have developed/evolved" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-03-28 12:04:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or "THE/THESE different cultures/civilizations" (depending on how you structure the rest of this)... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-03-28 12:06:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By doing this you can avoid being too specific about the term "faits", as I do not think any English noun would convey the correct idea here without sounding "foreign" - hence my idea to restructure. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2019-03-28 12:28:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I do not understand your point. You see what? |

This lineage and culture of achievement, though, emerged at least 40,000 years ago in Africa. Unfortunately, few of us are aware of these accomplishments, as the history of Africa, beyond ancient Egypt, is seldom publicized. Sadly, the vast majority of discussions on the origins of science include only the Greeks, Romans and other whites. But in fact most of their discoveries came thousands of years after African developments. While the remarkable black civilization in Egypt remains alluring, there was sophistication and impressive inventions throughout ancient sub-Saharan Africa as well. There are just a handful of scholars in this area. The most prolific is the late Ivan Van Sertima, an associate professor at Rutgers University. He once poignantly wrote that “the nerve of the world has been deadened for centuries to the vibrations of African genius”.
