It Started in Africa: The Deep Roots of Black Excellence in Medicine and Science
Thursday, 24 September, 2026
In this special episode of Better Black Health, Dr. Greg Hall takes listeners on a journey from the origins of humanity in Africa to the foundations of medicine, science, education, and innovation. From Imhotep and the Edwin Smith Papyrus to ancient centers of learning and Africa’s extraordinary genetic diversity, this episode challenges the idea that Black history begins with slavery, disease, or dysfunction. Dr. Hall connects that deeper history to the present, exploring why people of African ancestry remain underrepresented in genomic research, how ancestry can influence health and disease, and why studying African genetic diversity could improve diagnosis, drug development, risk prediction, and precision medicine for everyone. The episode also examines the roles of environment, chronic stress, lifestyle, and access to healthy choices in shaping Black health today. At its core, this is an episode about more than history. It is about identity, health, and possibility. Our story did not begin with disparity—and it does not have to end there.See the full visual episode on my YouTube page.Each episode of Better Black Health is sponsored by GNetX Sequence Multivitamins for African Americans and the Better Black Health book, which addresses many of the healthcare disparities faced by the Black community.
