Q4680636




Adanse or Adansi was one of the earliest Akan states in the southern part of present-day Ashanti Region, Ghana. It is regarded as the ancestral homeland from which many of the southern Akan trace their origins. Adanse became an early centre of gold production, regional trade, and clan-based governance, and is remembered as senior among principal Akan states. It influenced the formation of later polities including Denkyira, Akyem, Assin, and the Asante Empire.
