African Americans are primarily descended from various ethnic groups in West Africa, with many tracing their ancestry to the Fulani (or Fulbe) people, who are predominantly found in countries like Nigeria and Senegal. The Fulani are known for their rich cultural heritage and history of pastoralism. While specific lineages can vary, the influence of the Fulani can be seen in the broader tapestry of West African ancestry among African Americans.
