      Damn yeah those blessings of the rains would’ve turned it into a holy water apocalypse for vampires.

    Well this confirms how insanely long ancestors/relatives of San and Khoekhoe have been living there, with no major upheal between 10.000 and 1.000 years ago.

    The important part here is not to help a racist narrative that these groups have faced, given that they traditionally are hunter-gatherer societies. We do see that these people had cultural innovations over time. Several stone technological shifts are preserved at the Oakhurst site, and around the same time, are similarly found across archaeological sites in South Africa.

    Not much travelling over there. Humankind was spread very thin for most of its existence.

      It is highly unusual for humankind overall, this long period in most parts of Eurasia saw waves and waves of migrations. But in this specific region of Africa, a group of people stayed the same and didn’t produce offspring with outsiders for thousands of years.
