The South African Defense Force used these guys as trackers and scouts in Namibia and Angola during the Border War in the ‘80s. Their ability to track through the bush was unmatched...give ‘em a rifle and a canteen, and they’d do the rest. And they were *fast* too.

and if it was your misfortune to have to track them, well it was a job rich in frustration . . .

Look like Bushmen to me. Do they have the constant semi-erect penis mentioned in other writings by Peter Hathaway Capstick?

That guy looks like the guy that found the Coke bottle that somebody threw out of an airplane. ;^)

So does that mean the rest of humanity was severely inbred...?

They don’t really speak by “clicking”.
Their ‘constant semi-erect penises’ are actually a metal clicker sheath.
When they speak with a white man, they like to play with it.
There is no charge for this information.

There are somewhere around 350M people speaking Bantu languages.

Using several different methods of analysis, the team reconstructed population sizes for the ancestors of the Khoisan, as well as for Europeans, Asians, and another African group, the Yoruba.Why does the phrase "lies, damned lies, and statistics" come to mind?

They used to have the largest population on the planet back in the days when they weren’t being bopped on the head with Coke bottles.
To: SunkenCiv
One of the older names associated with the Khoisan was "Hottentot" (now politically incorrect).
I remember George Wallace when he was running for President denouncing foreign aid as "sending money to the Hottentots in Yugoslavia."
Geography wasn't his strong suit.
