Can’t just listen to ONE.

I am now hooked. Speechless. Relaxed learning; the voice, the music & layout of content is just smooth and on point for what I lie to listen too!

Finally the Truth Of Human Origin

Studying the origin of human beings and providing scientific foundations and facts, is critical in exposing how the colonizers systematically excluded the ultimate truth that we are all one family.

There is so much more to learn, grow and understand as we humans continue to evolve and recognize contributions made by ALL of our family members.

Thank you for bringing this audible series to Kindle.

Mind blowing and real TRUTH!

Absolutely well researched, well worded, wholeheartedly and brutally honest about Africans and heritage versus oppression!

Fascinating facts. Long winded intro

Cheddar Man is excellent. Extra rhetoric gave me fear for the series, but it gets less. This format with separate rate-and -reviews for each section is a pain. I do not like it!

Starting with a looted object

I’m just amazed this whole episode starts with the narrator admiring a stolen and looted object from the British Museum; one of the greatest collections of stolen art in the world. What a whitewash from the beginning

Painful narration

Bonnie Greer has a great voice and speaks great when not reading the episode. But it's frustrating listening to her slow and emphasis on every syllabus.
Some new ideas but a real stretch to get black genes into everybody... and what does that really matter? Seems like a forced legitimization...

I like the point about "out of Africa".
