Fun fact: The ecosystems of the Amazon Basin rely on around 27.7 million tons of Saharan Dust each year to replace the phosphorus that is washed away by the rains. Without this constant input the local soils would have been stripped of needed nutrients and would be unable to support the plants that currently thrive there.
The Amazon rainforest survived the African Humid Period though, so what’s up with that?
It looks like the Amazon region was experiencing less rainfall at the time with a corresponding shift towards drought tolerant species with parts of the region as savannahs !!

With a different rainfall profile the nutrient loss would have been vastly reduced.
Antactica where?

would be greener on the continents with ice reaching further down because without africa there would be no humans and with no humans there would be no greenhouse emissions and global temperatures would be notably cooler.
You are looking at the wrong continent to disappear for the effect to be noticeable

I think the point was that humans come from Africa (as in, as a species).
I refuse to live in a world with no rhythm
Sea level would be considerably lower, as it would suddenly have a big ass Africa-sized hole to fill.
