Africa seems a young continent, having only been explored in its entirety since the 19th century. It was the first to be inhabited by man, 2 million years ago... and yet... The African continent was born during the Earth's infancy.
After suffering a violent cosmic cataclysm, Africa found itself caught in the middle of other continents.
Then, jostled by its neighbors for millions of years, it finally broke free, only to see its crust ripped apart.
