The Caste System in West Africa, though not as rigidly defined as in South Asia, played a significant role in social organization and hierarchy. It influenced various aspects of life, including occupation, marriage, and social interactions, often determining an individual's status and role within the community. Caste-like divisions, such as those between farmers, artisans, and nobles, helped maintain social order and economic specialization. Additionally, these structures reinforced cultural identity and continuity within different ethnic groups.
