Abstract: Consistent Yang--Mills anomalies $into{m}_{2n-k}^{k-1}$ ($ninN$, $k=1,2,ldots,2n$) as described collectively by Zumino's descent equations $deltao{m}_{2n-k}^{k-1}+ddo{m}_{2n-k-1}^k=0$ starting with the Chern character $C{h}_{2n}=ddo{m}_{2n-1}^0$ of a principal $SU(N)$ bundle over a $2n$ dimensional manifold are considered (i.e. $into{m}_{2n-k}^{k-1}$ are the Chern--Simons terms ($k=1$), axial anomalies ($k=2$), Schwinger terms ($k=3$) etc. in $(2n-k)$ dimensions). A generalization in the spirit of Connes' noncommutative geometry using a minimum of data is found. For an arbitrary graded differential algebra $$ with exterior differentiation $dd$, form valued functions $C{h}_{2n}:C{C}^{(1)}oC{C}^{(2n)}$ and $$(k-1)$$ are constructed which are connected by generalized descent equations $deltao{m}_{2n-k}^{k-1}+ddo{m}_{2n-k-1}^k=(cdots)$. Here $C{h}_{2n}=(F_A{)}^n$ where $F_A=dd(A)+A^2$ for $AinC{C}^{(1)}$, and $(cdots)$ is not zero but a sum of graded commutators which vanish under integrations (traces). The problem of constructing Yang--Mills anomalies on a given graded differential algebra is thereby reduced to finding an interesting integration $int$ on it. Examples for graded differential algebras with such integrations are given and thereby noncommutative generalizations of Yang--Mills anomalies are found.
