After reviewing these resources, I learned how science and technology not only helped the continent advance but played a critical role in communication and storytelling. I did not realize how science plays an essential part in storytelling, especially in regards to accuracy and facts. It helps give the listener a better understanding of African culture and way of life. So it not only justifies and verifies different African customs, but provides more insight as to how people can use stories to teach important life lessons and skills. Similar to iron welding and making art using iron, because they tell an important story as to how different African cultures see themselves as well as how certain items represent their societies which is very interesting and insightful.
