Africa
Africa is the world's second-largest and second most populated continent. Africa has more than 900 million people that live in Africa's 53 countries. This number includes Madagascar and all the island groups. This great population accounts for 14% of the world's human population. Asia is the largest and most populated continent.
The continent of Africa is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.
It is thought that the origins of human life originated in Africa, particularly central eastern Africa, where our tale takes place. Evidence of early human like mammals and their possible ancestors, the hominids, were found in this region and date back to around seven million years ago.
