Answer:
This eurocentric idea not only denies us all of a full understanding of human history by erasing Africa´s role as the birthplace of human and civilized life but is also the basis for racism in the present.
Furthermore, it leads to the distortion of both African traditional religions and scientific ideas.
Explanation:
The eurocentric appropriation and even erasure of African history lead to a distorted conception of history that denies Africa as the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization which is a key element to understand human development.
It also is the basis of racist ideas that served slavery in the past and is still present today.
Finally, the European philosophies and technological development have been profoundly influenced by Africa, and this appropriation has been the basis for an exploitative system that doesn´t recognize Africa´s role in religious ideas and scientific concepts that are still relevant in the present.
