The term "TRIBAL ART" should not be used to discuss pre-developed art techniques as the word "tribal" denotes a small group of people, and not an underdeveloped state of technology or intelligence; though many such tribes of Africans hundreds of years ago did not have as developed cultures as today's societies the term is generally accepted as derogatory in the art history world.

That's why the term is used in a historical sense, to describe false assumptions made in the nineteenth century. Warofdreams talk 03:27, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
