Africa is the second most populous content, home to roughly 12 percent of all humans or 840 million people. Cairo is the largest city with over nine million inhabitants. Africa has eight percent of the world’s oil reserves and produces nearly 50 percent of the gold in the world and also produces 50 percent of the diamonds in the world. Arabs put their mark on Africa starting in the seventh century A.D. and spread Islam throughout the country.
