The SEABUS My first glimpse of Dar es Salaam , the capital city of Tanzania , revealed little. It appeared another overcrowded city with pollution, and many other, problems. However, this obscures the, remarkable history of a country and region that is home to the oldest proofs of human beginnings: East Africa . Science lists the fossilized remains of ‘Lucy’ as 3.6 million years from Ethiopia and ‘Paranthropus Boisei’ about 2 million years old from Tanzania . The divisions of Afrika came much later.
