African civilizations were not primitive; rather, they were diverse and sophisticated, with rich histories, complex societies, and advanced technologies. From the ancient kingdoms of Egypt and Mali to the city-states of the Swahili Coast, these cultures developed their own systems of governance, trade, art, and science. European thoughts often misrepresented African civilizations through a colonial lens, overlooking their achievements and contributions to human history. In reality, African societies had their own forms of knowledge and innovation that were just as advanced as those in Europe.
