"bantu" is a term coined by a racist german "scientist" . The word simply means "people" in several "bantu-languages" . It's pure PSEUDOSCIENCE! It's like calling Germanic speaking people for volk(s)/folk-people, (volk is pronounced with an "f") since that word is common to many germanic languages. That is not scientific at all! <br /><br />Anybody should know that these beautiful peoples aren't indigenous to southern africa in the same sense as the Khoisan peoples are. Zulu's and Shona people have click consonants too, but we all know that they migrated down to south africa, along with other groups (i.e those who are not Khoisan & Nama) . <br /><br />Groups who look radically different from one another don't "evolve" from the same place. This should be painfully obvious as the Damara's don't look any different (phenotypically) from Himba's, Herero's, Kavango's, Ovambo's (and all the other so-called "bantu peoples" living in Africa.) . There might be more admixture within groups who mingled with the Nama's & Khoisan peoples, but that's pretty much it.Richard Høyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365747744136261072noreply@blogger.com
