Much of Africa's history comes from oral tradition instead of written accounts. This can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of the continent's history by those who rely solely on written records for their historical knowledge. Additionally, the Western-centric focus of many historical studies and educational curriculums can lead to Africa's history being ignored or overlooked.
