1. Motivation. Lesson goal setting (2 min) (Frontal work)Presentation Slide 1 Ayalneha Mulatu, modern Ethiopian poet wrote this way about Africa

The name is not so important for the country
And outlines are not that important
How important is who lives in that land,
Why do people live and how do they live.
Learn any country's special disposition
We can only get to know her people.
"Whose Africa?" - ask me
And I will answer you: "She is mine,
Until death, until the end of time -
A mother to everyone who was born here! "

Processing of statistical material. Handout.

How is the population of Africa changing? Why?

What are the largest countries in terms of population on the mainland.

Average population density 32 people / km2

Cities are growing - administrative, capital, industrial and transport centers.

Cities - millionaires 15 The largest of them are Cairo, Lagos, 12.5 million people each.

Life expectancy -53 years In Sierra Leone - 38 years Uganda - 41 years

3.. Many scientists consider Africa to be the ancestral home of modern man. In 1994, in Ethiopia, scientists established the age of the remains of the most ancient man - 5 million years. There is an interesting version that about 6 million years ago an event occurred in the ancestral home of mankind (in Africa) that changed the hereditary properties of monkeys. What happened?

  • (Rift zone passes)
  • (Uranium ore)

Rift faults, volcanism, earthquakes could have caused the appearance of an unusual human ancestor. As a result of the earthquakes, uranium ores were supposedly exposed. Monkeys walked on freshly fallen radioactive volcanic ash. Radiation is known to affect heredity. That is why only here the monkeys began to give birth to offspring that were not like themselves. The famous scientist-biologist Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov came to the conclusion that man is something like a "monkey freak", like an extraordinary child of great apes.

So, modern man appeared in Africa 11 thousand years ago. It is believed that he was short, had strong teeth, and ate plant foods. It was from that moment on that various races began to form on the mainland.

Race- a system of human populations, characterized by similarities in a complex of certain hereditary biological characteristics, which have an external phenotypic manifestation and formed in a certain geographic region. Traits that characterize different races often appear as a result of adaptation to different environmental conditions that has occurred over many generations.

The criterion for distinguishing a race from a species is the absence of significant obstacles to the creation of fertile offspring, which leads to the formation of many transitional forms in the area of ​​mixing races.

Filling out the table "Human races and peoples of Africa" ​​(work on the textbook p. 184)

Africa as a large continent is divided into several regions.

Fill in the table taking into account the regions.

    INTERESTING! It is known that people with different skin colors live on planet Earth: black, yellow-faced, pale-faced. But the Tuaregs inhabiting Niger are called the "blue people of the desert." Their festive indigo clothes cast blue reflections on their dark skin under the bright rays of the sun, and unstable dye is absorbed into it.

    11 slide

    INTERESTING! On the border of Uganda and Sudan live isolated from the outside world Karamojong tribes belonging to the group of Nilots, the tallest people on the planet. The average height of women, who are much shorter than men, reaches 190 cm. These African gullivers are also the darkest-skinned.

    12 slide

    13 slide

    POPULATION ACCOMMODATION Analysis of the map shows that the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Guinea and the southeastern coast of the mainland are relatively densely populated. High population density in the Nile Delta, where there are 1000 people per 1 km². Less than 1% of the total population lives in the Sahara Desert, which occupies almost ¼ of the mainland, and in some regions it is absent altogether.

    14 slide

    CONCLUSION The number of Africa exceeds 780 million. Africa has a relatively sparse population, which is extremely unevenly distributed across the mainland. The distribution of the population is influenced not only by natural conditions, but also by historical reasons, primarily the consequences of the slave trade and colonial rule.

    15 slide

    COLONIAL PAST MOTHER The colonization of the mainland began in the Middle Ages. And by the beginning of the 20th century, almost the entire territory of Africa was divided by the capitalist countries of Europe among themselves and turned into a continent of colonies (countries deprived of political and economic independence). The colonialists oppressed and exploited the indigenous population, took away the best lands, drove them from their native places to areas of little use for life. They plundered countries mercilessly. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were only two free states in Africa. Now all countries on the mainland are independent.

    16 slide

    COUNTRIES OF AFRICA According to natural conditions, the composition of the population, Africa can be divided into four parts: North, West and Central, East, South.

    17 slide

    COUNTRIES OF AFRICA 1. On the map, determine which states are located in North, West, Central, East, South Africa. Draw their boundaries on a contour map. 3. Student presentations.

    Slide 2

    Africa is the ancestral home of mankind

    In East Africa, archaeologists have found the remains of an ancient man and tools of his labor, which are about 2.7 million years old. Finds of this kind are the oldest on our planet. This gave reason to assume that the first people on Earth were Africans, that it was on this continent that humanity originated. From here, ancient people began to settle all over the world.

    Slide 3

    Caucasians

    There are about a billion Caucasians living on Earth who have DARK SKIN, plus black hair and black eyes - Arabs, Indians, Tuaregs, Moroccans.

    Slide 4

    Equatorial negroids

    Most of the mainland (south of the Sahara) is inhabited by representatives of the equatorial (Negroid) race. In the scorching sun, their skin turned dark, which relieves it from burns, and their hair became curly. The peoples and tribes of this race have significant differences in skin tone, height, facial features.

    Slide 5

    Pygmies live in the equatorial forests (Translated from Greek, this word means the size of a fist). These are the small people of our planet - the average height of an adult man is only 145 cm. Instead of the Masai and Tutsis, they are the Tall peoples of Africa, their height reaches 200 cm.

    Slide 6

    Pygmies are one of the shortest races, but they are not dwarfs. Purebred pygmies have an average height of 145 cm (men) and 133 cm (women), and this is not a pathology, like in dwarfs. Their body proportions are the same as yours or mine, so their head seems disproportionately large.

    Slide 7

    The Masai are considered the most beautiful among the natives of East Africa. Tall, muscular, with expressive faces, the Masai are sure that they are the favorites of the gods and are very contemptuous of other inhabitants of Africa.

    Slide 8

    Mongoloid

    Bushmen and Hottentots live in the south of the mainland. They are short, have yellowish wrinkled skin, a wide cheekbones, which makes them similar to Mongoloids. Bushmen differ from Negroids because they have lighter skin and thin lips.

    Slide 9

    Intermediate

    The inhabitants of the island of Madagascar - Malagasy - Descend from mixed Negroid and Mongoloid races. Also, Ethiopians, who have a lighter skin color with a reddish tint than Negroids, are considered representatives of an intermediate race.

    Slide 10

    Long before the arrival of Europeans, the peoples of Africa created a kind of culture (Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Benin, Sudan). They built large cities where crafts and arts developed. Unique monuments have survived to this day: the Egyptian pyramids - a miracle of ancient building technology, temples, ivory and wood carvings, bronze sculptures, etc.

    Slide 11

    Compared to other continents, Africa has a relatively low average population density - about 20 people. / km2. The population of the mainland is extremely unevenly distributed. The coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, the Gulf of Guinea, as well as the southeastern coast of the mainland are densely populated. Large ports are located there, which have emerged on the busy world trade routes. Many of them have become the largest cities of the coastal states, and often their capitals.

    Slide 12

    Colonial past

    2. What peoples of Africa do you know? Where do they live?
    3. How is the population located on the mainland? What factors influence the uneven distribution of the population?
    4. Consider why the official language in many African countries is French or English.
