works out at around six percent of Earth's total surface area and whopping twenty percent of Earth's total land area yep that's right one in five places is Africa number four despite being the second largest continent Africa actually has the shortest coastline due to its distinct lack of peninsulas and rough edges around its continent or mainland it's completely smooth baby number five Africa also includes a Madagascar and a number of other smaller island groups known to highfalutin science people as archipelagos number six Africa is also the most centrally located continent in the world as it has land both along the equator at zero degrees latitude and the prime meridian at eight degrees longitude sadly the Prime Meridian I just mentioned is an entirely arbitrary contrivance that could have been placed anywhere so theoretically South America could have been the world with centered continent you got lucky Africa number seven there are numerous theories regarding the origin of the word Africa but be the most widely accepted interpretation is that Africa derived from a free a Latin term referring to a native Libyan tribe that was generally applied to all people living in land south of the Mediterranean number eight in the early Mesozoic era roughly 250 million years ago Africa was fused together with other continents as part of a huge supercontinent called Pangea over millions of years this Pangaea broke apart into smaller chunks much like a doomed horror movie search party would number 9 Africa is widely accepted to be the point of origin for Homo sapiens if you don't know what they are by the way you're looking at one well if you're looking at a human that is evidence suggests that the first Homo sapiens emerge in central Eastern Africa somewhere between 200,000 to 300,000 years ago and there was much rejoicing I can imagine I mean humans were gone to everything up but at the time I'm sure everyone was delighted number 10 in 1974 scientists discovered roughly 40% of the skeleton of a female hominid in Ethiopia who would have lived roughly 3.2 million years ago the individual of the species oh dear okay let's give this a go Australopithecus

number 16 however Europe wasn't done harassing the entire continent of Africa yet during the late 19th century the mated European imperial power was thought it would be a great idea to colonize and occupy basically all of Africa thereby creating numerous colonial territories from which Europe harvested resources and systematically subjugated the native African population this was known somewhat euphemistically as the Scramble for Africa and it was very very very very very bad number 17 this process was formalized through the Berlin Conference in 1884 285 which established various rules and regulations for European colonization and trade in the African continent which predictably had zero African inputs this convergence of dust the old euro knob heads was convened because of fears that unregulated annexation various chunks of Africa could lead to disagreement and possibly wars between the European powers how civilized of them number 18 the only two areas of Africa that were not violently oppressed by the aristocratic European douche bags were Liberia and Ethiopia then known to Europeans as Abyssinia number 19 since the era of colonialism many African states have struggled

point five centimeters in circumference and nineteen point five centimeters in diameter number 85 a single Kenyan tribe called the Callen gene is known for producing most of the world's fastest

country in history to dismantle its nuclear weapons program in the name of world peace three other nations Belarus Kazakhstan and Ukraine have also surrendered their nuclear arms but did so only
