Black Eve, the common origin of the humanity.

For 6 million years, in Africa, there have been three revolutions of humanity, up to what we are, homo sapiens. Africa is the protagonist of the history of humanity. (*)

  1. The first hominid (Proconsul) appeared in East Africa in the Miocene (between 24 and 5 million years ago)
  2. The origin of humanity (homo sapiens) is estimated to have been about 200,000 years ago, all of us are descendants of the same woman, “Black Eve (or mitochondrial Eve)”.
  3. All of humanity today descends from about six hundred homo sapiens who lived in Africa about 100,000 years ago.
  4. Second emigration from Africa (50,000 years); Colonisation of Asia, Europe and Australia.
  5. After (17,000 years), Sapiens arrives in America.

Africa, the cradle of the humanity, has a history and has given birth to history... each generation has to build its pyramids” Doctor Joseph Ki-Zerbo.

The realisation of the logotype of EENI Global Business School

The logotype of the EENI Global Business School for Africa has been made by Ms Tapsoba, an excellent artisan of the Craftsmen's Village of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso, West Africa).

Artisan Logotype EENI Global Business School

Mr Tapsoba, with the indications of Mr Thierry Somda and Pedro Nonell (founder of EENI Global Business School), has created a model using a paste; then it will be moulded in copper to obtain the final figure. Oxidation obtains the blue colour. With the model, the logo has been digitised.
