Summary

Presents Dr Diop's main thesis -- that historical, archaeological and anthropological evidence supports the theory that the civilisation of ancient Egypt, the first that history records, was actually Negroid in origin. The present volume contains over fifty illustrations, many of them newly selected for this book, which further document Dr Diop's theories. The author has written a new preface and conclusion for this edition, which also includes a preface by Mercer Cook, an index, bibliography, biographical notes on the authors and authorities cited, and a glossary of archaeological terms used in the book.
