This is a very very difficult question to answer. The earth is billions of years old. But one theory is that people evolved from African and traveled all over the earth. But the oldest archeological evidence we have found is in Africa, with a god call Bes. He is the oldest god known to man. Bes is a little pygmy(twa) with his tongue sticking out. And as that religion traveled down the nile river it ended up in many religions around the world. Any time you see a diety with the tongue sticking out that is a representation of Bes.
The family unit and kinship ties formed the basis of African society. These relationships were central to social organization, economic cooperation, and political governance in traditional African communities.
The social structure in West African society was typically hierarchical, with a ruling elite at the top followed by nobles, merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and slaves at the bottom. Family lineage and kinship ties played a significant role in determining one's social status, and traditional societies often had systems of chieftaincy and councils for governance. Religion and spiritual beliefs also influenced social roles and behaviors.
By African Traditional Religion (ATR), missionaries and Western people (white people) when they came to Africa, looked at what black people did in Africa and called it evil. They sarcastically termed it African Traditional Religion because they said it was a black man's religion. ATR looks at how Africans live, their culture and customs as well as how they worship. Worship or religion in Africa is centered on a Deity commonly referred to with different native names which conveys the idea of a Grand Designer, Creator, Maker, etc The religion is very complex, there is priestcraft, the way to go to God is via the ancestors and there are certain designated places or shrines where God is worshiped. In most cases, the praying in ATR involves singing to the ancestors, offering prayers through the anscestors (some have argued that Africans worship their ancestors, but this is quite contrary. They worship God through the ancestors). The reasoning is that the departed ancestors are now close to the far removed God (Deism) who can only be approached by the ancestors, so it is these ancestors that are more feared in the worship than God himself. There are also some dances, but depending on the peoples, some dances turns to be sexual, while in some cultures, sexual dances are a taboo. ATr thus has many forms and ways of worship, but the common ground of belief is in the ancestors. One does not convert to ATR as is in Islam or Christianity or proselytizer as in Judaism. One is born an African and as an African has the freedom to be able to participate in the worship of the ancestors. However, with the advent of Christianity in Africa, many embraced Christianity and forsook ATR, while others chose to remain in ATR, others became syncretists (they embraced the two religions). There are a number of belief systems as well as worldviews in ATR, certain doctrines and creeds, etc. however, most of those things have not been written from ancient times but has passed from generation to generation through oral tradition or customs and culture.
