Author reveals Shocking Discoveries about Igboland: Igbos Lived Before Adam
What if Africa is not just the cradle of humanity, but also the center of the world’s earliest civilizations? In this video, we listen to Professor Catherine Acholonu’s talk at the Harlem Book Fair about her controversial book “They Lived Before Adam.”
Prof. Acholonu — a Nigerian author, cultural researcher, and advocate of African-centered history — challenges mainstream narratives of human origins. Drawing on archaeology, oral traditions, and linguistic studies, she presents a bold thesis: that advanced civilizations existed in Africa long before Adam, reshaping how we view both world history, African civilization and the history of Igbo people.
