(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Cheikh Anta Diop was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and politician who studied the human race's origins and pre-colonial African culture.

The questions he posed about cultural bias in scientific research contributed greatly to the postcolonial turn in the study of African civilizations.
