A influência da África na ciência moderna | Dítoka wa Kalenga Múleka | TEDxFloripa

Ditoka wa Kalenga Muleka draws a parallel between the binary language of computer systems and African divination with cowrie shells, demonstrating that binary language technology was already used by Africans centuries ago, long before the existence of computers. Muleka Ditoka wa Kalenga was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a large and resource-rich country located in the center of the African continent. Muleka, now 76 years old, has been in Brazil since 1981. He holds a degree in journalism (École supérieure de journalisme de Paris), a degree in International Relations (Université nationale du Zaire), a master's degree in Advertising and Public Relations (University of São Paulo – ECA), and a doctoral thesis in Sciences (ECA/USP). Among his many studies, Muleka is also a musician and the father of prominent Brazilian musicians. With frequent trips to his country of origin, Muleka builds cultural and scientific bridges between Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
