CHAPTER 8
AFRICAN CIVILIZATIONS
1500 BC - AD 700
DesertSavannahRain forest
Impact of geography?
Settlement & population
- Where are the largest populations?
**No large empires - hard to unite due to diversity
**Most Africans remained hunter-gatherers!!!
8:1 DIVERSE SOCIETIES IN AFRICA
Waterfalls and Rapids● Navigation hard● Isolated groups from trade,
other people
Sahara and Kalahari● Hampered movement of people● Too hostile for people to inhabit● Sahel - southern edge of
Sahara
8:1 DIVERSE SOCIETIES IN AFRICAMediterranean coastal
areas● Fertile land, temperate
climate supported people● Farmers, herders
(pastoralists) along northern coast
Tsetse fly● No use of draft animals
near rainforest● Couldn’t colonize infested
areas
Fertile land and savannas● Supported farming, herding● Healthier populations, higher birthrates
8:1 DIVERSE SOCIETIES IN AFRICASan of the Kalahari
● Remained hunter-gatherer (it worked!)
● Learned to use resources
Nok people● West Africa's earliest
known culture● Farmed, smelted iron for
