Not all involve only animals.  There are important family and tribe values taught in some stories.  \nThe most famous involve a spider whom often gets into mischief because he does not think of others.  \nSome storied are explanations for the unknown (like many myths). (why the mosquitoes fly into ears, and why the sun and moon rise and set..)\nIf you want to pass you should go to the library.

There are several myths (I believe they are Navajo or one of the Pueblos) about the "Hero Twins."  You could use them as a comparison to other works such as "David and Goliath" or "Jack and the Beanstalk."

Thats not something common in the culture I dont think becuase my best friend was doing her family tree and never came up with any. It could be a regional thing, like only certain countries, it could be a social class thing and it could be a cultural thing. Try contacting a museum of African history to ask, but as far as I know, there are none. Sorry :(

Each has links to facts and lots of related sites.  You could also try clicking on the button labeled "Ask Earl". \n\nHope you find what you're looking for. Good luck!

http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/wsem/hd_wsem.htm\nGreat website that talks all about the Ghana, Mali, and Songhai empires of the western Sudan.  Includes maps and photos of artifacts. The site discusses historical events, the rise and fall of the kingdoms.

hello,\n\nWell actually thats a massive question! It depends what exactly you mean by styles? You can visit almost any country or even region in africa and your likely to find they have their own local style/s of music according to their local tribal traditions and customs.\n\nBear in mind that drumming styles alone is a huge subject when it comes to african music. Alot of african music combines voice and drumming. Such as music from Mali, Senagal, Barundi,etc.\n\n*there is the sacred traditions of the Jolies, revered families of singers in africa. Some of these singers are so big in africa they are treated like pop stars (even though we might have never heard of them in the west).\n\n**Theres Cora and zylaphone music.\n**theres moden african beat music with a combination of traditional & electric instruments\n\nIts a huge and vast list, so big its impossible to put limits on really.\n\nIR

You should try to find African art books in your library. Most address the topic. If you find "Art and Craft in Africa" by Laure Meyer you will find a general overview of textiles and clothing. From the Ashanti try "African Majesty" by Peter Adler and Nicholas Barnard. Also "Weaving in Africa" by Karl-Ferdinand Schaedler.

I have read some in translation.\n\n"If so, what is your opinion on the similarities between them and the Bible?"\n\nClearly the authors of the Bible drew upon a stock of pre-existing stories and oral traditions in order to express their theological views.
