You can see there is an intrinsic and intelligible link between etymologies of words, particularly of African languages, and mythologies as well as cultures. This may seem surprising, but shouldn’t be, since this phenomenon has already been observed for a very long time with the terms, such as Adam, found in the biblical mythology and their meanings.

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

Obviously, listing all the clues here would be impossible, but I'll let you listen to the following song so you too don't stop wondering.

“Sà” also means, among other definitions, to burn, to be lit, to toast, to roast. Associated with “Àdɛ̀” to mean “Human” i.e “Àdɛ̀sā”, it appears justified to think that it refers to the “Creation myth” and obviously recalls the metaphor of the “Burnt face”. Especially since in Gã language, related to (a-)Dãŋ and which in addition to the same territory and cultural space shares many words with it, including a part of the list above, “Àdèsá” in addition to meaning "Human" also means “Story”, “Tale”, “Song sung during folktales”.

If, as Science says, the Genetic Adam, so-called Y-chromosomal Adam, who’s technically the “most recent common patrilineal ancestor”, lived 338,000 years ago, and Human first appeared in Africa, when in fact his skin color only changed and diversified very recently, there is almost no chance that at the time he could have been anything else than what is today considered a “black” individual.

Before getting to my point, there is beyond all a logical deduction to be drawn from Science and we aren’t going to keep on acting as if we still don’t get the well-known scientific verdict on this issue.

This is not even a debate, insofar as the last agnatic ancestor common to all current humans is established in genetics as being a “black” African.

Keiga Jirru >

“Genetic Adam” is far close enough for us to no longer speak of Human species, but of Human race and more accurately of modern Man. Incontestably the one indigenous to the ecosystems of the Motherland was “black”. That’s it! The more his age is pushed back through research, the clearer it is that he was “black”.

Etymology, semantics, especially in African languages, clearly justify the mythological narrative, even biblical, as much as it gives an account in a way or another, through the narrated story, of meanings that intrinsically possess the words.

Since, it’s quite clear that the first human is what the figure of Adam is supposed to illustrate. The Israelites whose beliefs claim to be inscribed in the Truth of Being would’ve been royally mistaken if they had imagined other than "black" the “First ancestor”, as established by the Tanakh/Torah (i.e the Law), of all Humanity.

Beyond the obvious, in a certain way, this issue is quite simple... We can at least agree on this since it’s factual and verifiable in several respects: The very notion of “Adam”, the concept, the essence of the ancestral figure, the first Human as the Hebrew account introduces it in its books, neither appeared with the latter nor appeared with Hebrew spirituality (as a specifically structured pious practice, that would be specific to a people), but precedes it.

Anyway, my point is languages, mythologies & traditions that are often thousands of years old also inevitably teach us a lot about this distant origin. All we need is to look for them and here is a little overview, enough to better enlighten us on the book of Genesis, or even more:

Words down to lexemes in most African languages (most tonal) have a polysemous nature and the languages themselves hide, like everywhere, an often unsuspected philosophical dimension. But, it’s interesting to observe that in the notion of human being, Àdɛ̀sā proposed by the Dãŋ (People), the latter is also literally, metaphorically perceived as a pearl which emanates from the fragmentation of the main pearl which is in itself the Primordial Being that is Àdɛ̀.

Clearly, in recent centuries, all have been done to exclude the African, the “Black” man from the biblical and cultural Hebrew Odyssey, while all the clues lead to him. Now, the reputation of language in general as the “black box” of human history isn’t word in vain. I’d even say these are words in etymology, if you get it.

It appears that the entries for letters in dictionaries, esp. African ones, incredibly justify the account of mythologies, including biblical one, just as much as the latter account anyway for the etymology of the words which appear in the entries.

The father or rather the very first ancestor of Genetic Adam, i.e the Adam who interests us here, i.e the first ancestor of Mankind, or whatever you call him, being himself African, it simply obvious that he was definitely "black". Just like his offspring Genetic Adam, right? Whoever speaks of the first Human on Earth necessarily speaks of the very “Adam” of ALL Humanity. Unless the one of the Bible isn't related to this planet.

Was Adam white or black (African)?
