Volume 2 in the General History of Africa Series covers the period beginning at the close of the Neolithic era, from around the eighth millennium before our era. This period of some nine thousand years has been sub-divided into four major geographical zones.

Chapters 1 to 12 cover the Nile, Egypt and Nubia by far the largest part of the book is devoted to the ancient civilization of Egypt because of its preeminent place in the early history of Africa. Chapters 13 to 16 relate to the Ethiopian highlands. Chapters 17 to 20 describe the Maghrib and its Sahara hinterland, and Chapters 21 to 29 the rest of Africa including some of the Indian Ocean islands.
