The correct answer is option "C": Histories reflected African civilization by describing the words and actions of African ancestors and past events. Historians lament on the lack of historical written records for African history, since this continent has a rich and complex history, but not in written words. African people who have been a product of colonial education, have not been exposed to a comprehensive as well as chronological account of their own history. Although African does not possess historical written documents about the origins of its civilization, African societies enjoy the possibility of transmitting its historical knowledge from generation to generation by means of the oral traditions.
