How did early Africa's geography shape life there

In Africa, there are different climatic regions, different vegetation zones and different relief features.

Large percentages of people in Africa lived in the grasslands and semi-desert areas, where they were mainly pastoralists and nomads.

For those who lived around lakes and rivers, fishing was common, and they had a more settled lifestyle.

Keep in mind that African people had different communities, which all had different lifestyles, although this deals more with history than geography.
