In African mythology, the figure known for creating humanity and the first ancestors is Mbombo or Bumba. In the creation myth, he is said to have emerged from a vast, dark void and vomited the sun, moon, and stars, followed by various animals and, ultimately, humans. Mbombo's story emphasizes the themes of creation, life, and the interconnectedness of all beings. His narratives vary across cultures, but they collectively highlight humanity's origins and the significance of ancestral ties in African worldviews.
