Is this still an oral history, or can somebody now write?
In 1492 writing was widespread. Maybe not in "Mali"

Hardly anybody seems to write stuff down anymore, Scott Adams for example. He used to write top-quality columns, but now all I see are Vlogs. It's a real problem for deaf and almost-deaf people. YouTube CC is the pits.

What were they doing???
The same as they did thousands of years
earlier and continue to do at present;
fighting over the spoils of tribal warfare.
Sanctimonious malarkey!!!

Precisely. The exact same thing, zero advancement outside of the Colonial zones, and a rush back to their condition in the post-colonial era. Regressives.

Eating each other.
Just like they were still doing in 1942,and will likely still be doing in 2192 if the west decides to quit feeding them.

Liberty, you already know this yet our self labeled intelligentsia
will neither hear nor heed it.
Greece and Rome birthed Europe which founded the New World;
Spain in South America, then Britain and France in North America.
Yet in the former, the Aztec, Inca and Maya Tribal legacy could not
be displaced, so the Spanish exited.
The same scenario repeated itself in Africa where the Tribal mind set
is some 250,000 years old and nothing has nor ever will change.

No kidding. I came across a Bookface page this morning, "White people be like...." and it's enough to just shitcan this whole "Social media" thing once and for all.

The 14th and 15th Centuries in EuroLand ...
Spain drove Jewish people out of Spain.
France and England fought each other in the 100 Years' War.
England fought a civil war known as The Wars of the Roses.
Several Popes ruled from Avignon, France rather than Rome (basically tools of the King of France), followed by a succession legitimacy chaos.
Jan Hus' attempt at reformation, war, and betrayal at the Council of Constance (which also settled the Papal succession mess).
Pope Alexander VI, among Popes, possibly the nadir.
Just off the top of my head. What is now Central Europe was pretty chaotic and messy, too, and not just because of the Turks.
