African Definition

Denotes a person with African ancestral origins who self identifies, or is identified, as African. The concept does not refer to those of other ancestry, for example, European and South Asian. In practice, the term mainly refers to people originated from forty-eight sub-Saharan Africa nations; and excudes individuals from North Africa countries, e.g. such as Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia with Arab and Berber ethnicity.
