1. What was life like in Africa before the Europeans came?

The peoples of West Africa had rich and diverse histories and cultures centuries before Europeans arrived.

Before Imperialism, Africa was a very diverse land with hundreds of languages and cultures. Societies ranged from centralized government states, to village communities, to nomadic hunter-gatherer societies.

A European author stated : "Africa had no history prior to European exploration and colonization, that there is only the history of Europeans in Africa."
