Lesson 1: Africa in Context

Summary

The information we just covered in this lesson isn't even a scratch on the tip of the iceberg in terms of describing the African continent. I hope this lesson has begun to clarify some misconceptions you might have had about Africa - the landscape, the people, the cultures and communities. Remember the information from this lesson, as it will provide you an excellent foundation to understand "in context" the remaining topics on the environments of Africa.
