The climate of the Sahara has been highly variable over the millennia and we have been able to provide much more specific dating of these changes, over the last 10,000 years, there have been two distinct humid phases, separated by an interval of highly variable but
generally drying conditions between roughly 8,000 and 7,000 years ago. Another drying trend took place after about 5,000 years ago,
leading to today¶s parched environment.

Coastal-West Africa Thomas E Bowdich, a member of a British
mission, who was sent to Kumasi in 1817
happened to be the first modern historian to
research into Akan history He compared the
laws and customs of the Abyssinians,
Ashantis, and ancient Egyptians and
concluded in a pamphlet he published in
paris in 1821 that "most of the higher
classes of the Ashantis were descended
from the eastern Ethiopians who had been
improved by an intercourse with Egyptian
emigrants and colonists".
