How Were African Ancestors Doing This? by vybzkartel(op): 2:02pm On Aug 15, 2019
As a Jamaican I can never forget my African roots
II believe I am originally from West Africa and I periodically get into racial debates with my white buddies
What usually come up include

1.How were Africans before western civilization keeping their armpits refreshed from sweat of odour?

2 were African Ancestors wearing underpants and bras?

3 were they maintaining oral hygiene?

4.How were African women taking care of their menses?

5How were Africans treating wounds


Thanks

No human invented oxygen, it was discovered

They were not able to handle any of those things in a hygienic way unti the white man came to educate them. For oral hygiene, I know that they used the ashes of cow shit to clean their teeth, some places in Uganda still do it today.

When you get used to a particular odor you become insensitive to it. Yes they took their baths and made sponges from coconut husk or such like to scrub some sensitive parts

2 were African Ancestors wearing underpants and bras?
No! they weren't just a loose cover made from animal skin

3 were they maintaining oral hygiene?
Sure! they made chewing sticks which has proven to be more effective and medicinal than even the toothpaste we now use

4.How were African women taking care of their menses?
Im not a lady and Im single, born again so I dont know how menses happen and how women handle it even in modern times

5. How were Africans treating wounds
They had herbs that were squeezed and the liquid and shrub administered to the wound. Even the modern treatments came from improvements of such ancient methods


And please note that even the whites were not thrown from heaven with everything already made for there comfort. There was a period they didnt have all these modern inventions. Ask yourself how they also survived. Man and other animals will always learn to adapt to any environment they find themselves. Note also that even with modern inventions more diseases are arising to challenge it and we keep improvising to tackle it. Civilization brought its own problems that further inovations needed to solve. Our natural environment with its clean air has been disrupted so diseases that were not known are now rampant and we have weaker antibodies to combat them

Not "mostly like", they were no different from the monkeys, in fact they were learning from the monkeys until the white man came to teach

life started in africa.
1. We invented blades which was used in cutting hairs.
2. Underpants are bullshit. The heat generated only can make you have low sperm count. What is bra? Lol. Actually something use in covering a breast? Ask urself. Why can't women sleep by putting on bra. It is covered with a piece of wrapper.
3. Like someone said,"we were using chewing stick". It has proven that chewing stick is better than the fucking toothbrush we use today,
4. Don't know.
5. Aborigines( blacks/ moor) are the architect of every invention you see today.
pta( an ancient Egyptian) probably a black man was once worshipped by the Greeks. He was god of medicine for 2,700years before hypocrates was born. What u see today in first aid box today was documented by the ancient Egypt( Kemet( land of blacks) on walls. Maybe you can make your research.
They plagarised everything we invented, including straw.
Proud that you remember your root.

Your comments usually don't make sense. How can u compare breathing with shaving armpit?

One you do unconsciously without thinking. The other you do consciously.

Man, you are really a learner.
