		Kionga was a small portion of the German East Africa colony occupied by Portuguese troops in 1916, and awarded to the colony by treaty in 1919.

		During the warmer period in Eurasia and in the forests of tropical and subtropical Africa there was no reason to switch to meat.
		The addition of animal protein to their diet would have been useful, if not necessary, for survival in the cooler, more temperate climates and more northerly latitudes, especially when plant food is less available in the winter season.

		That the circumnavigation of Africa would bring them to Gibraltar implies that the shape of the continent was already vaguely known, so the Phoenicians' journey may not have been the first of its kind.
		The islands were colonized and, had the Portuguese known anything of the Norsemen's adventures, the Azores might well have become a starting point for the rediscovery of America, but Prince Henry's hopes were centered on finding a way round Africa to the east, and every year he sent caravels with this object in view.

	Evidence Supporting Continental Drift
		The bulge of Africa fits the shape of the coast of North America while Brazil fits along the coast of Africa beneath the bulge.
		He was intrigued by the occurrences of plant and animal fossils found on the matching coastlines of South America and Africa, which are now widely separated by the Atlantic Ocean.
		To him, the presence of identical fossil species along the coastal parts of Africa and South America was the most compelling evidence that the two continents were once joined.

		First of all, the poor little land on the bulge of the West Coast of Africa is a miserable mess.
		Once so prosperous and so tied to America that its upper-middle-class neighborhood was called "Beverly Hills" and its capital city, Monrovia, was named after President James Monroe, Liberia was largely made up of American slaves freed in the mid-19th century and ruled by their descendants until 1980.
		Second, the president should not think about moving helter-skelter into Liberia unless he is ready and willing to weave a coherent strategy for all of Africa, even if that strategy is to say that each former colonial power should now take care of putting its former colonies in order.

		The increasing stress on Africa's freshwater resources is the result of natural and human causes.

	"Origins of Modern Humans: Multiregional or Out of Africa" by Donald Johanson, Ph.D.
		The nature of this transformation is the focus of great deliberation between two schools of thought: one that stresses multiregional continuity and the other that suggests a single origin for modern humans.
		In the Upper Paleolithic of Eurasia, or the Late Stone Age as it is called in Africa, the archaeological signature stands in strong contrast to that of the Middle Paleolithic/Middle Stone Age.
		The major neurological and cultural innovations that characterized the appearance of fully modern humans has proven to be remarkably successful, culminating in our dominance of the planet at the expense of all earlier hominid populations.

		The total cost of building the ship and running the expedition is estimated at 200,000 pounds, covered largely through private and corporate sponsorship as well as funding by the Indonesian government.
		Some people believe the route to be a first millennium trading route that brought spices and silks from the Orient to Madagascar and other African shores in exchange for iron ore, ivory and skins.
		If the early trading route theory could be proved, it would supplant claims that the Chinese were the first foreigners to visit southern Africa, believed to be in the 14th century, about 100 years before the first documented European journeys to the continent.
