Advancement of Food-Producing Economies Accompanying Khoikhoi and Bantu Migrations
Map Creator:
James L. Newman
Source: The Peopling of Africa. 1995. New Haven: Yale University Press: p. 186.
Date Created: 1995
Map Description:
This map highlights the geographic features and peoples that influenced the development of southern Africa. The Khoikhoi herders and Bantu cultivators migrated along the route shown, forcing the San to shift a little farther north. Despite this displacement, these groups coexisted for some time, until the arrival of European settlers pressured them to move north again. With this reversal of directions, the Europeans created a wave of migration; the resulting clashes between the Europeans and the Bantu and multiple Bantu groups affected populations as far north as Tanzania (Newman 1995: 184-186).
