Khoisan Aldeia – Africa

KHOISAN ALDEIA – AFRICA

 

 

Khoisan or Khoi-San (also spelled as a thing or something) is the unifying designation of two ethnic groups from south-West Africa that share some distinct physical and linguistic characteristics from the majority of southern Africa’s Banta. These two groups are the SAN, also known as Bushmen or Bushmen and who are hunters-gatherers, and the Khoikhoi, who are pastors and who have been called hotentotes by the European settlers. Apparently, these people have a long history, estimated in several thousand (perhaps tens of thousands) of years, but are now reduced to small populations, located mainly in the Kalahari Desert in Namibia, but also in Botswana and Angola .
