Hunter-gatherer peoples of the Kalahari and southern African interior (San/Bushmen, including the !Kung, Ju/'hoansi and related groups), among the oldest continuously-documented lineages in southern Africa, progressively displaced into marginal arid lands by Bantu-speaking farmers and later European colonization.
Not an ending: San communities endure across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa (incl. recognized lands such as Nyae Nyae). The map hands off to the modern states.
The atlas holds 6 border frames for San peoples — the shape you scrub through changes in 5000 BC · 400 BC · 650 · 1001 · 1653 · 1796.
Alan Barnard's accessible Cambridge survey of the San from deep prehistory through the classic hunter-gatherer ethnographies to their present-day descendants.
