African Humanities & Arts have a long history of sociocultural development and have achieved outstanding results. Based on archaeological findings, African Humanities & Arts’ history can be traced back to at least 3100 years BC, that is to speak, at least 5100 years of palpable history. But few of them have survived to be known and disclosed to the world. In today’s African societies, there have been many outstanding Africans such as Cheick Anta Diop, etc. who have tried hard to save their traditional arts culture and humanities. Some of their hard works have paid off.
