Children of Africa: The Story of Us
Man is a singular creature; He has a set of gifts which make him unique among the animals So that unlike them, he is not a figure in the landscape He is the shaper of the landscape
We are all children of Africa They say this is where it all began
In a parched African landscape Man first put his foot to the ground
Africa was our only home for tens of thousands of years until a small handful of people made their way out of Africa
These beings with soaring imagination Eventually flung themselves and their machines Into interplanetary space
We are all children of africa This landscape has been home to humans Two hundred thousand years
We have come so far All of this is cause for great celebration We have come so far This is a story about us
Those early Europeans Were people like you and me But it is humbling When you see the challenges they faced

We are not the only beings With personalities, minds, and feelings Chimpanzees have very clear personalities
Take a chimp brain foetally And let it go two or three more rounds of division And out comes symphonies and ideology
Everything that we are That distinguishes us from chimps Emerges from that one percent Difference in DNA
People like you and me Overcame the Neaderthals People like you and me Made it through the ice age
Using his burgeoning intelligence, This most successful of all mammals Has exploited the environment to produce food For an ever increasing population.
Instead of controlling the environment For the benefit of the population Perhaps it's time we controlled the population To allow the survival of the environment
