How to use "African" in context?

African has origins that date back to prehistory. It is thought that the physical characteristics of modern Africans are the result of the interaction of several different human populations that have crossed the continent over time. The original African population is thought to have consisted of a mixture of the aboriginal people of Africa, who were the first to inhabit the continent, with Near East and European peoples. African identity has evolved over time, and the term has come to denote a variety of different cultures and peoples.

Africans are a diverse group, with a cultural heritage that is sometimes shared and sometimes unique.
