When western powers came to Africa, most of it was still pretty tribal, although the affects of colonization were very negative for most African "countries" (I put countries in italics because because there were no separate countries until the European powers carved it up in the 1880's) Egypt is the most famous African civilization, very advanced!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
