Is Africa The Dark Continent Originally using “Africa” as a key word to search on the net, and individual will come across over 800 different websites. Mostly the websites will deal with weather, safari’s, and politics. If one digs deeper they will eventually come across the knowledge that there are some websites explaining the “Truth”. These websites mostly come in forums and then in the definitions of the words use. One such forum is www.genealogyforum.rootsweb.com. More information dispelling another myth of the name is www.theglobists.com. Most people frequently use the word Africa, not only for the continent, but as a common denominator for 50 countries, 720 million people and 1000 languages. A huge number of religions, tribes and groups of people each with a very different history. We also use terms like "African culture", "African music" or "African religion" even though there is no single culture, music or religion in common for all of the countries/regions. "Africa" is not an African word. The origin of the word is still a little uncertain, but it is credible to see a connection from Latin (Africa = sunny) and Greek (Aphrike = not cold). The Romans were the first to use the name.
