Why are there many traditional tribes in Africa?

Matriarchal society, also called matriarchal society, is a primitive social system. The child's surname is the same as the mother's surname, and the lineage and inherited property are calculated according to the mother's line. A man's property cannot be passed on to his children. To this day, there are matriarchal clans in the world.

In ancient Africa, there is a legend that "Africa" is the name of a goddess worshipped by Berbers living in North Africa. They call the goddess the patron saint. It is said that a Berber found the statue of the goddess in the temple. She is a beautiful young woman. So they have regarded women as gods since ancient times, giving priority to women. Although the productive forces have been liberated now, this belief in Africa needs to be gradually changed. It is not surprising that Africa's economic and cultural development is still very backward and there are matriarchal tribes.

In ancient clan society, both girls and boys were raised by their mothers, and the farm work of the clan was mainly undertaken by their mothers. Therefore, a matriarchal society dominated by women was formed at that time. In such a society, the status of women is very high, and people of the same clan live separately according to gender.

The Meru nationality in Africa is one of the few tribes in the world that still retains the tradition of "women first". According to the tradition of matriarchal clan, children live with their mothers when they are young and live separately from their mothers when they grow up. In these ethnic groups, it is common for men to work for their families for one or several years. After serving in his father-in-law's house, a man can move back to his father's house with his wife. They often move back to his uncle's house, because most of the time they are raised by his uncle, and their relationship with their biological father is generally weak.
