This, I think, is how we must understand the geography of Africa and Africans themselves in the 21st century. A global vision of the continent fits better the reality of a transcontinental Africa. Them geographic boundaries of the continent just not satisfactory at all if a proper account of the global african reality we wanna give. When talking 'bout Africans and Africa, we necessarily must look way beyond "the Skull*" or "the Head*", which be metaphorical designations that somehow describe the geographical shape of the motherland.
P.S: "the skull" or "the head" can be understood both as "that which is forward", "the leadership"; or "the intelligence", "the conscience".
