Introduction
A geographic realm is the essential spatial element in world regionalization system. Every realm is distinct in the provision of a combination of its whole human geography – a combination of its primary economic, political, cultural, historical and suitable environmental features. It is the biggest rational regions into which a whole world can be divided.
Discussion
The African Realm covers the southern of the Sahara desert which is subjugated by the Negros with moderately prehistoric ways, linguistic variety, which hampers communication by itself and by not having the script. The general public in the sub-Saharan is tribal with animistic gullible religion with extensive witchcraft. 
Sub Saharan region has its own diverse traits. It has different languages and religion beliefs. Religions are confined in nature. They are not prejudiced at the slightest by the two immense all taking on religions specifically Islam and Christianity. The economic activities they have include fishing, hunting and gathering.
Impact of Geography on cultures and future events
Climate changes cause people to migrate to different regions thus make contact with different people with different culture. The interaction will result in others losing their culture and adopting another for them to live together. Settlement patterns also change as people move.
  Impact of European colonization
East Africa entirely is amid those regions of the world which provides the majority of natural resources such as   gold, potash, petroleum and copper. European control in the region resulted in slavery. Enforced manual labor for mining natural resources caused suffering and made them accountable to economic exploitation. The rank, advantage and assets of European colonial ruling were regularly observed and upheld   by the use of policies that desecrated the human rights of the in the colonized regions. Unfair policies subjected populations in colonized countries loss of their lands, assets, religious or cultural identities, and at times still their lives. Africans also learnt the importance of the natural resources such as gold. Gold could be used to make ornaments and Africans had the opportunity to make such things up to now.
Conclusion
Africa has a realm of subsistence farmers. Colonization on Africa resulted in political instability, economic backwardness and social mayhem. Colonials rule tactics; obligation and exploitation of African resources had elongated lasting effects on African economies and societies still after the end of colonialism.
