.
(at about 30.3 million km² (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of earth’s ‘total surface area’ and 20.4 % of its ‘total land area’)
(with ‘1.2 billion people’ as of ‘2016’, it accounts for about 16% of the world’s human population)
(the continent is surrounded by the ‘mediterranean sea’ to the ‘north’, both the ‘suez canal’ and the ‘red sea’ along the ‘sinai peninsula’ to the ‘northeast’, the ‘indian ocean’ to the ‘southeast’, and the ‘atlantic ocean’ to the west)
(the continent includes ‘madagascar’ and various archipelagos)
(it contains 54 fully recognized ‘sovereign states’ (countries), 9 territories, and 2 ‘de facto’ independent states (with limited or no recognition))
(africa’s population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the ‘median age’ in ‘2012’ was ‘19.7’, when the ‘worldwide median age’ was ‘30.4’)
(‘algeria’ is africa’s largest country by ‘area’, and ‘nigeria’ by ‘population’)
.
(‘africa’ (particularly ‘central eastern africa’) is widely accepted as the ‘place of origin’ of humans + the ‘hominidae’ clade (‘great apes’), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest ‘hominids’ and their ‘ancestors’, as well as later ones that have been dated to around 7 million years ago, including…)

(‘africa’ straddles the ‘equator’ + encompasses numerous ‘climate areas’)
(it is the only continent to stretch from the ‘northern temperate’ to ‘southern temperate’ zones)
(‘africa’ hosts a large diversity of [‘ethnicities’ / ‘cultures’ / ‘languages’])
(in the ‘late 1800s’, ‘european countries’ colonized most of ‘africa’)
.
(‘africa’ also varies greatly with regard to…)
