The vast continent of Africa is so rich and diverse in her culture which only changing from one country to another but within each African country there is cultural diversity. And while civilization is visible around the world, most African communities remain stagnant and this confirms the saying that million years ago humankind originated from Africa.

During the colonial era Europeans conquered and divided African continent centuries ago, the influence of the Europeans exist to this day. Their presence had an influence on all aspects of African culture, ranging from language, dressing, religion, educational system,etc. About 3000 different languages are being spoken in Africa, although most African countries have abandoned their local language for Europeans’ languages who are their colonial masters and this Europeans’ languages are now considered official which is being used in government, business, religion and education.

Africans cultural activity centres on the family, and ethnic groups. Art, music and oral literature serve as reinforcement to existing religious and social patterns. The westernised minority influenced by Europeans’ culture and Christianity, firstly rejected African traditions and cultures but with the fast rise in African Nationalism, a cultural revival occurred. The government of the most African Nations foster National dance, music groups and cultural museums and to a lesser degree, artists and writers.

Africa is a birth place of human species between 8 million and 5 million years ago. Today, the vast majority of her inhabitants are of indigenous origin. People across the Africa Continent are remarkably diverse by just about any measure: they speak a vast number of different languages, practice numbers of distinct religion, live in a variety of types of buildings and engage in a wide range of economic activities.

Over the centuries, people from other parts of the world have migrated to Africa and settled there. Historically, Arabs have been the most numerous immigrants. Started in the 7th century, they crossed into North Africa from Middle East, bringing Islamic religion with them. The latter movement of Arabs into East and Central Africa occurred in the 19th century.
