Bushmen of Kalahari

Most Bushmen (or San) have been absorbed by other cultures, but some still live in the remote areas of the Kalahari desert in the Northern Cape. They are the survivors of a people who inhabited much of East Africa for thousands (and probably millions) of years before colonizers arrived from other parts of the world.
