CoEvolution Quarterly, Spring 1983

“Africa is an old and mellow piece of crust. As opposed to North America, you don’t have to learn about endless oceanic invasions of the land nor glaciers tearing apart old soils and creating and recreating the shape of the continent. Africa, as a tectonic place, has had few upheavals.”
