All of these peoples share similar carving styles that venerate the ancestors. They originated in the southeast around the Lualaba River and migrated in several waves to their current location near Lake Tanganyika.

History Africa is generally agreed to be the cradle of the human race; genetic testing in recent years has confirmed archaeological finds. Some 5 million years ago a type of hominid, a close evolutionary ancestor of present-day humans, inhabited southern and eastern Africa. More than 1.5 million years ago this toolmaking hominid developed into the more advanced forms Homo habilis and Homo erectus. The earliest true human being in Africa, Homo sapiens, dates from more than 200,000 years ago. A hunter-gatherer capable of making crude stone tools, Homo sapiens banded together with others to form nomadic groups; eventually these nomadic Khoisan-speaking peoples spread throughout the African continent. Gradually a growing Bantu-speaking population, which had mastered animal domestication and agriculture, forced the Khoisan-speaking groups into the less hospitable areas. Today they are found primarily in the Kalahari. In the 1st century ad the Bantu began a migration that lasted some 2,000 years, settling most of central and southern Africa. Negroid societies typically depended on subsistence agriculture or, in the savannahs, pastoral pursuits. Political organization was normally local, although large kingdoms would later develop in most parts of the continent, and especially western, central, and southern Africa.

Extractions: Home Open Now Mezzanine Gallery, 2nd Floor This small exhibition draws on the Museumâs holdings of the work of the French sculptor Antoine-Louis Barye (1795â1875). Described by one contemporaneous critic as the âMichelangelo of the Menagerie,â Barye imbued his animal subjects with monumentality and drama. Frequently working at the Jardin des Plantes and the Museum of Natural History in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century, Barye applied the latest discoveries of modern zoology to his creations, lending a sense of accuracy to each and every beak, fang, and tusk. Works include bronzes and watercolors and range in subject matter from tender treatments of woodland creatures to violent confrontations between exotic species. Read more about the exhibition.

Extractions: Long-Term Installation, Open Now A major reinstallation of some 230 works from the Brooklyn Museum of Art's exceptional holdings of African art is now on view in the African galleries. This presentation includes more than 20 important objects previously not on display. While a wide selection from the hundreds of African cultures is represented, this reinstallation is especially strong in works from Central Africa, particularly those from the Kongo, Luba, and Kuba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A majority of the items on display were created for religious or political ceremonial life, but furniture, textiles, architectural fragments, household items, and objects of personal adornment are also featured.
LAS Alumni: News About LAS completed an extensive inventory of indigenous mapmaking in subSaharan africa . Among the luba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, http://www.las.uiuc.edu/alumni/news/fall2000/00fall_mapmaking.html
Extractions: Bassett recently completed an extensive inventory of indigenous mapmaking in sub-Saharan Africa. What he discovered was a heritage rich in unusual artifacts and representations. Among the Luba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lukasa memory boards made of wood, shells, and beads enabled praise singers to recount the history of a specific Luba king. The neighboring Tabwa people charted the path of mythical ancestral heroes on the backs and chests of initiates to the Butwa Society. The kingdom of Bamum in western Cameroon in the early 20th century was the site of one of the most ambitious mapmaking enterprises. Led by King Njoya, the Bamum people developed an alphabet and then undertook a major topographic survey of the kingdom, involving 60 people who made 30 stops over 52 days. "The map's form and content nicely illustrate the political use of maps," says Bassett, noting that the king promoted his political goals of consolidation by presenting images of rule. Fall 2000

Extractions: See also Eastern Africa Guinea Coast Southern Africa , and Western and Central Sudan The British ban on the international slave trade and the development of Arab-Swahili caravan routes from eastern Africa shifts the trade in slaves to the east. In western Central Africa, heightened demand for local African products such as ivory, wax, and rubber allows previously subjugated or isolated peoples such as the Chokwe to rise to economic prominence and displace traditional powers such as the far-flung Lunda and Luba states . Further east, the Arab-Swahili trade also deprives these polities of the trade on which they are dependent. The emergence of numerous small-scale chiefdoms results in the production of new forms of ornate and luxurious courtly arts across Central Africa. Elsewhere, extended periods of migration in present-day Gabon and political consolidation in modern Cameroon lead to the development of new forms of funerary and courtly art. The European partition of Africa in 1884 provides state support for German, Belgian, English, and Portuguese expeditions into Central Africa that supply newly created ethnographic museums and geographic societies with specimens of material culture from the region.
