The phrase gained popularity thanks to British explorer Henry M. Stanley, who used it in works like *Through the Dark Continent* published in 1878. Additionally, this term carried colonial and racist undertones, suggesting Africa was “backward” or less civilized compared to Europe, beyond just its geographic mysteries.
