Pre colonial African Societies

Pre-colonial history shows us evidence of progress because of African pioneering abilities, but also setbacks because of the hard conditions people had to face in those days. People in pre-colonial Africa were engaged in hunting and gathering, agriculture, mining and simple manufacturing

The pre-colonial West African societies were more specialised than societies in the rest of Africa, and their specialisation seems to have increased over time. Trade and the use of slaves were far more developed in West Africa, in both the forest and the savannah regions.
