It was simply a typo for later.

And during that period, there was a lack of deforestation they would follow layer What would follow later? |

Deforestation followed with the Bantu and particularly post colonisation due to their different agricultural and settlement practices compared to a forest dwarf people.

there was a lack of deforestation they would follow layer, as the Pygmy were forest peoples, not mounted tribesmen. But if say, 1 pygmy tribe domesticates zebra won't that make them become mounted tribesmen? |

Ye Gods.
They live in a forest. Any type of horse is not suited to the forest. Therefore, they aren’t going to domesticate a zebra. Their food and whole way of life is wrapped up with being a small forest people. They aren’t suddenly going to become Congolese Mongols on a whim.
You’re supposing that one small tribe can domesticate zebras. Suppose that happens, even though it is next to impossible. How does that improve their life in the forest? How does it make their hunting and gathering more effective? It does not.
In order for the zebra domestication to have any effect, the Pygmy already need to be in a savannah. Why would they head there instead of deeper into the expansive Congo rainforest?

There is no way a zebra would change anything to a tribe that did not even had any interest in ridding any kind of animal. |

Zebras are hard to domesticate because these animals face predators like the lion, cheetah, and leopard. Hence, the zebras are always on alert.

A much better scenario is giving them 1900s cars plus the technology and knowledge to use, maintain and make more of them

Zebras 🦓 are so hard to train and even when they are trained you usually can’t ride them rather just put them on a carriage harness with a team. The Europeans colonist were the first ones to successfully train there’s no other people were so frivolous with time or resources to successfully train these animals www.sciencealert.com/this-is-why-zebras-have-never-been-domesticatedZebras are smaller than the big horses Europeans are used to this makes me wonder I wonder if a quagga could be trained to be ridden. |

Arnt the Pygmies hunters and gathers if so, I guess they would be the first hunters and gathers while maintaining zebra back riding.They are at least not going to be a burden on the relatively small zebra at least compared to riding horses
