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.

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...?

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.

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.

The Khoisan then began a more drastic decline in the past 20,000 years or so, with a major blow when the Bantu farmers spread through Africa 4000 years ago. “This shows us how much climate can influence populations,” says genomicist Webb Miller of Pennsylvania State University, University Park, a co-author.Wow, there's a non-sequitur. Bantu farmers putting pressure on the Khoisan habitat is "climate change"???
Does everything in academe these day have to link to "climate change" to get backing?
