Corrective History is the ability to research and study time holistically. Looking at the whole picture is the cornerstone to fully understanding events, people, places by viewing them over a long period of time. Exact dates are not necessary. Further research will always refine history. Chronology of events, in other words, the past creates the present and the present creates the future.
The event(s), person(s), and place(s) from the past, create the environment for something to happen in the present and the present creates the future. Studying Corrective History includes all subject areas and a multidisciplinary approach to researching and analyzing these disciplines.

The Life History of the Human family can only be understood when the continent of Africa is recognized as humanity’s place of origin, cultural development and point of departure to other places on our planet. These early peoples of African descent brought their science, technology and skills with them wherever they traveled. Many academic subjects and disciplines will be utilized to explore African people’s role in the origin of human civilization.
Participants in this study will be able to;
-Discuss how the Earth came into being and continued the process of becoming.
-Describe where/how the Earth prepared for the birth and development of organic life.
-Express how/why Africa was the birthplace of the human family.
-Identify and explain the six (6) phases of humanity’s life history from Australo-
pithecines to homo lineages.
-Locate the places where the human family migrated after they left the Great Lakes
Region in Central East Africa.
-Discuss the outline of Humanity’s birth and growth beginning in the Great Lakes
Region (present day Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania).
-Describe in speaking and writing the Geographical, Geological and Historical impact on Central East Africa by the indigenous people.
-Recognizing the multi-disciplinary subject areas of the study of Humanity in Africa. Disciplines include, geology, geography, history, botany, biology and climatology.
Another major topic explores the biological history of the human race. This study begins before humans existed on earth and follow the physical changes occurring in the animal world. The study guide examines the following developments,
From Animal to Human Animal: The Ultimate Transformation
1) The Development of the Power to Grasp
2) The Development of Hind-Limbs
3) Recession of Snout Regions
4) The Perfection of the Upright Posture
5) The Loss of Tail
6) The Loss of Body Hair
7) The Evolution of the Human Brain
Once these seven step took place and the human being came into existence, the development of the human being experienced 3 major changes. All dates are tentative.
1st Change – Occurred by around four (4) million years ago. The structure of fossilized limb bones show that by then our ancestors, in contrast to the gorilla and chimps, were habitually walking upright. The upright posture freed our fore-limbs to do other things, among which tool-making would eventually prove to be the most important.
2nd Change – Occurred around three (3) million years ago, when our lineage split in two. There were two (2) species of humans, Australopithecus Robustus and Australopithecus Gracile. Australopithecus Gracile transmuted into the denser brained Homo Habilis (Human of Ability).
3rd Change – Occurred around two and half (2.5) million years ago. Very crude stone tools appear in large numbers in areas of East Africa.
