	Sextus Julius Africanus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sextus Julius Africanus, a Christian traveller and historian of the 3rd century, was probably born in Libya, and may have served under Septimius Severus against the Osrhoenians in AD 195.
		Little is known of his personal history, except that he lived at Emmaus, and that he went on an embassy to the emperor Elagabalus to ask for the restoration of the town, which had fallen into ruins.
		Neander suggests that it was written by Africanus before he had devoted himself to religious subjects.

	Agapanthus africanus
		Sometimes Agapanthus africanus is still referred to as Agapanthus umbellatus and many laypersons as well as nurserymen confuse Agapanthus africanus with Agapanthus praecox, which is a popular, easily grown species.

	Australopithecus africanus
		africanus was bipedal due to the position of the foramen magnum, and was vindicated by later finds, such as STS 14, which showed unequivocally that africanus was an obligate biped.
		Most postcrania material attributed to africanus is well within the range of variation of the afarensis material, however, the limb proportions may be different.
		Walker and M. Wolpoff claim that the africanus chewing pattern is similar to modern hunter-gatherer groups, with the molars and premolars designed to last a lifetime of wear and tear (the oldest individuals dying at about the time they have no crowns left in their mouth - max age about 35).

		In connection with the Biblical stories Africanus relates many legends whose origin may in part be found in the Apocalypses and the Midrashim.
		The penetration that Africanus displays in proving this letter to be a forgery has earned for him the reputation of a sound Bible critic.

		Leo Africanus is a splendid example of the passage of men and of intellectual elements between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
		The experiences of Leo Africanus clearly prove that the religious, ethnic, and cultural borders between the Islamic and Christian worlds were not insuperable even in the distant past—and nor should they become insuperable in the near future either.
		The originality of Leo Africanus lies in the fact that he wrote his work in Europe, and was most influential there, despite the man himself belonged intellectually to the Arab world.

		On the contrary, the student holders of diplomas from this university were considered to have attained a high level of maturation thanks to the development of mind and talent allowing them to overcome the challenges in the scientific disciplines and to master the most arduous of literary texts.
		One can imagine Leo Africanus in the midst of trying to recollect events from his past prior to launching himself into a causerie; a chat that would have so impassioned his host that the latter would have proposed to put to ink the information evoked so it could be preserved in the Vatican Library.
		Amongst the publications by Leo Africanus of which we know only the titles, it is necessary to cite an Arabic-Hebrew-Latin dictionary a copy of which is preserved at the Escorial monastery near Madrid, a grammar book, another on linguistics, and another written in Latin dedicated to the biographies of large number of Islamic notables.

		Once Africanus announced that, if chosen, he would accompany his brother as a Legate, the decision was inevitable.
		He therefore sent an envoy to Africanus, offering to return his son (the young Publius Cornelius - eldest son of Africanus - had been captured by the Seleucids early in the war) and to endow him with unimaginable riches, if only Africanus would broker a peace.
		But whether or not the course of events were planned and prepared by Africanus (as might be suggested by the illness episode and Frontinus), is impossible to know.

		The first discovery of an early hominid species in Africa was by Raymond Dart, pictured at left, who found this well preserved skull of a juvenile in South Africa in 1924.
		Dart named this newly discovered species Australopthicus africanus, or "Southern Ape of Africa." This speciman of a child, often called the "Taung Baby," after the site in which it was discovered, preserves remarkable physical details.
		An imprint of the brain case is preserved in limestone, and the foramen magnum, the opening in the skull through which the spinal cord attaches to the brain, indicates that this creature walked upright like human beings.
