always something new out of Africa

Definition 
Africa is an endless source of novelty and interest: The story just goes to prove that there is always something new out of Africa. The proverb was recorded as early as the fourth century B.C. by Aristotle in De Anima. It became more familiar in more modern times through the release of the film entitled Out of Africa in 1985.
