Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent,
after Asia. At about 30.2 million km˛ (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent
islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total
land area.With about 922 million people (as of 2005) in 61 territories, it
accounts for about 14.2% of the world's human population. The continent is
surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Suez Canal and the Red Sea
to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to
the west. There are 53 countries, including Madagascar and various island
groups, associated with the continent.
Africa, particularly central eastern Africa, is widely regarded within the
scientific community to be the origin of humans and the Hominidae tree (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 seven million
years ago – including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus
africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and
H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (human) found in
Ethiopia being dated to ca. 200,000 years ago.
Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is
the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate
zones.Because of the lack of natural regular precipitation and irrigation as
well as glaciers or mountain aquifer systems, there is no natural moderating
effect on the climate except near the coasts
