Africa

Africa Day is on 25th May. All Dowlings... and all humans originate from Africa so this continent is our original home. Today there are some Dowlings living in Africa, click the image to go to the Africa page (Lists/Places/Africa)

Africa Day is on the 25th May. All Dowlings, as all humans, originated from Africa and migrated over thousands of years to the rest of the world. So, according to the best science around, this continent is our ancestral home. Some... went back and a lot settled in South Africa. There are not many from other African countries on the list but if you are a Dowling in Africa please do make contact.
