Afrocentrism is probably unique amongst ethnocentric ideologies for its claims that basically every nation and people everywhere on earth were originally black. A thread: 
At this point most people are familiar with this line - that the first Europeans were black.
But this goes all the way. The Anglo-Saxons were black, as were many royals and important figures in English history.
The Celts and Vikings were also black, the evidence is in.
We can also add most other Iron Age and pre-medieval peoples as well. All black.
Classical civilisation has long been fought over by Afrocentrists and their allies.
Less well known are the black Magyars, the black Uralics, and black continuity from the Neolithic Vinca culture onwards between Crete and the Carpathians.
Expanding outwards we have black Arabs, the Middle East was originally black.
Heading east we find that China was also an og black nation, we even have DNA evidence apparently.
China is one thing, but I bet you didn't know about the Old Africans of Japan?!
Australia naturally gets a look in, and Melanesia seems to be a fringe case with some claims for their Africanness.
The Maori and other Polynesians are unsurprisingly black as well, the Niger-Congo languages of New Zealand are well documented.
A full blown claim of African origin hasn't been made for the Inuit yet, but it's definitely coming. We have a Nunavut Black History society and a reflective essay on what George Floyd meant to this Inuk-Jamaican woman.
The idea that the first Native Americans were black has been around for a while.
As has the claim that the Aztecs and other Mesoamericans were from Africa.
"by 12,500 BC Africans were already living in Chile"
So there you have it, the whole world was once populated by black Africans. The real question is, what happened?
