* The cultural hearth of the Western Sudan would be the civilizations founded by the Mande peoples such as Ghana and Mali. Neighboring ethnolinguistic groups such as the Songhai, Gur, Senegambian/Atlantic, Dogon, and even Tuareg Berbers have been impacted by Mande and especially the Manding subgroup culture. The reach of Mande culture spreads as far south as Kru country in Upper Guinea. The majority of Western Sudanese people are agriculturalists and pastoralists with a minority of various specialist ethnic groups or castes focused on hunting wild game or fishing. The region was primarily pagan and nominally Muslim until the Fulani Jihads of the early modern era, though there does exist a small Christian minority from the colonial age. Groups of note aside from the Mande include the Songhai who built the largest of the pre-colonial West African empires and are famed for their powerful Sohanci wizards, the Fulani cattle herders who are known for the male beauty pageants of the Wodaabe subgroup, the cliff-dwelling Dogon who possess a rich and extensive cosmology in addition to astronomical knowledge, and the Hausa who are the largest Sub-Saharan ethnic group on earth.

Africa, the origin of mankind and second largest continent on planet earth. Africa is home to between 1,000 and 2,000 distinct languages, in addition to around 3000 ethnic groups. 16% of the world population lives in Africa, and that figure is projected to swell to 40% by the year 2100 per the UN. In spite of these factors the peoples, cultures, and histories of Africa are scarcely understood or even recognizable to many non-Africans.
