As an environmental engineer, I would have assumed that would have been obvious to you - not amazing. Here's a revelation they didn't share with you in 'school' - there's no need to live in the desert and eat bugs.
@@JamesBiggar There's no need for anything. These people just chose simplicity and trust me they generally have happier lives. Up north of the same region is a more "civilized" country plagued with depression, rape, terrorism, theft, and suicide. In Africa suicide is almost unheard of. The "1st world" has simple ways of living but complex lives. It's a trade you have to make and there's no better or worse.
Zainab did a fantastic job presenting this docu-series! A perfect balance presenting Africa by a woman of African descent able to educate Western audiences without pandering to stereotypes and depicting a far more curated yet profound exposé.
Yes, you've said it perfectly. I'm just trying to get people to watch the entire series and do some research before they critique it. She manages to remained focused on the history and providing information that comes together throughout the series and leaves nothing out. Even using her own production company. 😊
The BBC have been known recently to be biased and left leaning on documentries so I'm never trust everything I watch as I did when they were unbiased years ago. You only have to listen to BBC radio on all the propaganda they come out with to understand this.
Thank u for the refreshing information. I am from a Xhosa tribe in South Africa, who else speaks a language with clicks? We might be related, who knows 😃
I also speak Xhosa my home language I'm watching from cape town township my parents are from Eastern cape our language has click same as the san people
@Zeinab Badawa I really like your work I am from Uganda and I pray that you keep the entire world posted. Most of our history had been hidden from us for a long time and what we are taught at school are 'rubish' I must say... You've helped us to the way and path of the truth. God bless you for me.
It’s not only that Zeinab behaves as a good anthropologist (I’m sure she is not one) but her good grace and naturalistic approach to all humans makes her an excellent ambassador. She is funny, profoundly respectful of her subject and destroys any prejudice between a journalist and the reported subject. I never say these things, I consider them cheese and vulgar but I enjoyed her documentary so much, that I can’t be quiet about it! What a joy!
Zeinab Badawi's ancestor's controlled the Arabic slave trade in East Africa. Women were sold as slaves sex slaves in their thousands by her people. Sadly their story is never told.
I see people disputing the video, the truth is there different sides to Africa. There are the rich and glamour according to the modern eyes and there are the rich and raw African like these people and another group of people from my country South Africa, who are callee the Koi San. They prefer living a primitive, organic bush life.
I'm a Khoisan sadly I have coloured traits side my mom colored..but the San here in Botswana still refuse modern medicine and they are healthier than us all..I wish I lived with them..I'd be stress free..😂😍
The Koi San are not primitive, and their culture is certainly not primitive. If you put a person from New York or London in the same environment that the Koi San live in, they would die pretty quickly. The 'San are very clever and know every detail of how to live in, and to live sustainably in the wild forests, and find water. Even in Australia, a lady I knew who was married to a anthropologist, said the Ethnic Australians could tell when a so called educated sophisticated person from the big cities had arrived, because they stank of rotting meat, from the sweat that clung to their clothes. The knowledge of peoples that live in the deserts and forests and jungles of the world is tremendous that we in cities have forgotten. In Brazil the greedy people in the cities are trying to take away the land that belongs to the original people who once had a huge city, which was destroyed by drought, and decimated their people. The remains of the city and the art are still there as their heritage, and they do not want to have it destroyed by people who just want to make money from Palm Oil trees. Cynthia McLaglen
As an African American in Florida it makes me proud to see the lifestyles of our ancestors being maintained on the continent. One love black family ❤️🖤💚

Thank you, Zeinab Badawi for enlightening us on the early history of the African peoples!! What an interesting and rich history indeed! As a child growing up in the island of Trinidad and Tobago where there is such a multi racial group of people living in harmony to a great degree, I was always fascinated by my African/Caribbean neighbour's and school friends and wanted to know more about their history and culture. But alas, the British Colonials deliberately kept us in the dark regarding the history of both our African and East Indian peoples! These episodes are finally giving millions of people the world over an idea of the beauty and richness of our African brothers and sisters coming from the great Continent of Africa! Many thanks indeed!
9:26 when she started yelling to catch it, I heard exact the same thing we say in our Tmazight Language (North Afrifan). I am North African from Morocco and from Amazigh descent which are the original inhabitants of Morocco. She said tfit a couple of times which is the exact word we use to say catch it.

THANK YOU ZAINAB BADAWI AND BBC It's long series documentary i ever watched iny life and i appreciated how it possible to make like this project. However, i get alot of things before i don't have any ideas, like the beautiful countries in our continent Africa, different languages, religion's, cultures, music, dances, songs, stories, art, tourism, rivers and also communities. And the biggest fact that contributed in the debate says (AFRICA IS THE MOTHER OF OTHER CONTINENT) that is; "the people are still rural alse have or protected everything are they get fathers/grandfather's like the Culture, religion, how they hunting and ruling themselves.
Fascinating to learn that there are people in Eastern Africa that have clicking sounds in their language. Thought that was only in Southern Africa. I am intrigued to watch more of this production.
I truly believe all mankind and animals came from Africa. We have different races and colors due to migration and climate. Africa is the Mother of all.
The Hadzabe, Khoi, San and Batwa are different branches of one family. Even linguistically. I am Xhosa, a Nguni tribe that is very intermixed with this people group. They are part of me, and I am part of them.
But evolution is real we can see this in the fluctuation of human height throughout documented history we can see that certain plants and animals were different 2000 years ago if you can somehow prove that evolution doesn't exist without mentioning god that would be impressive
@@24spoce8 Arguing with these types of people who are anti-science is like arguing with someone who believes that the earth is flat, don't waste your energy trying to give a scientific explanation to these clueless people.
I met Louis Leakey when my mother took my sister Katharine and I, to the Museum in Nairobi, which the Leakey family had begun called the Coryndon, but we children called the Nairobi Museum. He was putting up a skull that was found in the Olduvai Gorge. My mother knew all about him and had also bought books about Urang-utans and Chimpanzee. She knew that Louis Leakey and his wife Mary, and other African Anthropologists like Kimoya Kimeu, were looking for ancient skulls in Olduvai Gorge. He explained that he and his team was looking for links in the fossils between Apes, Hominins and Humans. I was always very impressed by this meeting and have loved ancient natural history ever since then. I spent with my sister the first 10 years of my life in Kenya, East Africa. My mother's passion for knowledge was given to us. Some of these people in the video are sometimes using Swahili words as well as their own language to make it easier to understand. I will never forget Africa, or the Kipsigis, Kikuyu and Luo people we lived with and I loved them. Cynthia McLaglen
We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯 Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!🤴🏿👸🏿
Why bother with modern life when it brings nothing but stress which then leads to depression that eats away the soul.The best things in life are free and they have all the freedom life has to offer and I love how they’ve embraced it and how spiritually content they are which is something modern life CAN NOT BEAT!

It is so nice to hear in a television documentary about a hunter/gatherer society, "I want to make this very clear: [They] are not an early form of human even if [their culture shows] a remarkable degree of continuity with the past."

THiS COLLECTION OF VIDEOS OF BBC ARE REALLY FASCINATING! IN Italy we have never known nothing about Africa except for Ancien Egyptian, supposed for being of pTolemans origins. It's interesting discover the history of africa continent with another point of view!
Wonderful video! SO grateful for allowing the rest of the human family see how we all started out on planet Earth as Homo Sapiens. As I look at the people and hear the narrative, I'm reminded of hos certain humans who migrated into Europe and particularly in the region of Germany and Austria had forgotten completely how they arrived at their destination after staring out in Africa. I had the fortune of visiting my fellow Baha'i brothers and sisters in Nigeria and again in Liberia, and also some Baha'is living in Ghana. Among the pre-Nazi and Nazi-era Germans there arose the myth that the so-called Nordic humans began existence in the northern Ice Age period with no vegetation except perhaps lichen. This they did it was believed by the Nazis to have occurred in total isolation from other humans. Racialism was born out of the mistaken notions of the Germanic tribes. One such fallacy was that the harshness gave the Nordic(who also call themselves Aryans) peoples a superiority over all other humans on the planet, Such foolishness and arrogance was manufactured out of ignorance of the potential of all humans and our common ancestry---biologically and spiritually, as decreed by God. His decree and purpose was for all humans to have the same innate abilities locked within, but needing the right environmental circumstances to unlock those common potentialities. Earlier Religions sent by God were purposely left vague as to the reality of "The Oneness of Humanity", shrouded in metaphors and allegories. With the most recent Revelation from God to humanity via one whose title is "Baha'u'llah", we humans can at last come to realize that reality which for millennia was hidden from human eyes. www.bahai.org
I truly believe that this documental series need to be translated or at least subtitled to other languages like Spanish, Portuguese, and many more for the importance for human history and culture.
Wow! nice to be an African. I'm from India and my family live almost near the THAR DESERT (of Rajasthan) You can see the majority of people live in harmony with the nature.

Don't believe a lot in this series..it is low key white supremacy proganda
In this quarantine time, it is really a timepass.....
Let us study the entire history of Africa... 🌎🌎
Zainab Badawi... THANK YOU!!!!!! THAT IS ALL, AND THANKING YOU MORE!!!!! 🎉
Omg that baby is too cute
The one who shot the arrow?🥺🥺😫😫😫
Absolutely cute.... 😍
yes indeed
I noticed they really didn't seem to like her touching it.
What a beautiful culture and people I love that they chose to stay to the ancestral ways I have the up most respect for that 💯
The Hadzabe, Khoi, San and Batwa are different branches of one family. Even linguistically.
I am Xhosa, a Nguni tribe that is very intermixed with this people group.
They are part of me, and I am part of them.
I'm xhosa also I'm.watching from cape Town township south Africa
Me two
im from Mozambiquean tribe, i forgot to speak the language for my shame
12:32 was a beautiful moment, humor reaching across cultural boundaries
I'm learning so much from Zeinab Badawi, her videos are much beter than visiting a library and picking up a book.
This is soo cool I’m watching this for my Africana studies course I’m so glad I’m taking it.
Thank you. Mrs.Zeinab. for this documentary.
I don't believe in Darwin's theory, but good documentry over all. Zeinab is beautiul and eloquence is superb!!
sadiya, Does Zeinab ever change her blouse?
Darwin was a ras clot liar.and some take his guessing as gospel
But evolution is real we can see this in the fluctuation of human height throughout documented history we can see that certain plants and animals were different 2000 years ago if you can somehow prove that evolution doesn't exist without mentioning god that would be impressive
@@24spoce8 Arguing with these types of people who are anti-science is like arguing with someone who believes that the earth is flat, don't waste your energy trying to give a scientific explanation to these clueless people.
I believe in God and that there was still evolution. That may seem like a stark contrast to some but that’s my personal opinion.
I need same living style..no religions, no education no nothing...just wisdom
I met Louis Leakey when my mother took my sister Katharine and I, to the Museum in Nairobi, which the Leakey family had begun called the Coryndon, but we children called the Nairobi Museum. He was putting up a skull that was found in the Olduvai Gorge. My mother knew all about him and had also bought books about Urang-utans and Chimpanzee. She knew that Louis Leakey and his wife Mary, and other African Anthropologists like Kimoya Kimeu, were looking for ancient skulls in Olduvai Gorge. He explained that he and his team was looking for links in the fossils between Apes, Hominins and Humans. I was always very impressed by this meeting and have loved ancient natural history ever since then. I spent with my sister the first 10 years of my life in Kenya, East Africa. My mother's passion for knowledge was given to us. Some of these people in the video are sometimes using Swahili words as well as their own language to make it easier to understand. I will never forget Africa, or the Kipsigis, Kikuyu and Luo people we lived with and I loved them. Cynthia McLaglen
I was born among the Kipsigis near Lumbwa, where Leakey did massive excavations. Thank you for your account.
This was so refreshing to watch
Africa where all life began and rich in natural resources and eat sea and organic foods,there's no one obese
You've seen EVERY1 in Africa?
We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯
Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!🤴🏿👸🏿
Thank you Zeinab Badawi for this informative episode.
Why bother with modern life when it brings nothing but stress which then leads to depression that eats away the soul.The best things in life are free and they have all the freedom life has to offer and I love how they’ve embraced it and how spiritually content they are which is something modern life CAN NOT BEAT!
zeinab Badawi.you a self made legend,your voice and the adventures research you've done is just mind blowing.we are your number one fan.everyone keeps talking about you at campus.the next generaions mus love you too.
Fiiinally! I’ve bem trying to get to this series for ages.
Yes quite a revelation, waiting for the second series. Would love to read all the volumes, but each one is around 1,000 pages 😀
@Akheem Afari yes i found them online, called the general history of Africa
@Akheem Afari don't know how many pages, it's in PDF format online
tudo bom com voce?
It is so nice to hear in a television documentary about a hunter/gatherer society, "I want to make this very clear: [They] are not an early form of human even if [their culture shows] a remarkable degree of continuity with the past."
Mankind is still hunter/gatherers, [he] has just invented new toys to help him.
@@artartful854well said 😂😂

THiS COLLECTION OF VIDEOS OF BBC ARE REALLY FASCINATING!
IN Italy we have never known nothing about Africa except for Ancien Egyptian, supposed for being of pTolemans origins.
It's interesting discover the history of africa continent with another point of view!
Actually Original Egyptians are todays Sudan, Ethiopian, Eritrean...
omg they just true people live in peacefully without noting.
Wonderful video! SO grateful for allowing the rest of the human family see how we all started out on planet Earth as Homo Sapiens. As I look at the people and hear the narrative, I'm reminded of hos certain humans who migrated into Europe and particularly in the region of Germany and Austria had forgotten completely how they arrived at their destination after staring out in Africa.
I had the fortune of visiting my fellow Baha'i brothers and sisters in Nigeria and again in Liberia, and also some Baha'is living in Ghana.
Among the pre-Nazi and Nazi-era Germans there arose the myth that the so-called Nordic humans began existence in the northern Ice Age period with no vegetation except perhaps lichen. This they did it was believed by the Nazis to have occurred in total isolation from other humans. Racialism was born out of the mistaken notions of the Germanic tribes. One such fallacy was that the harshness gave the Nordic(who also call themselves Aryans) peoples a superiority over all other humans on the planet, Such foolishness and arrogance was manufactured out of ignorance of the potential of all humans and our common ancestry---biologically and spiritually, as decreed by God. His decree and purpose was for all humans to have the same innate abilities locked within, but needing the right environmental circumstances to unlock those common potentialities.
Earlier Religions sent by God were purposely left vague as to the reality of "The Oneness of Humanity", shrouded in metaphors and allegories. With the most recent Revelation from God to humanity via one whose title is "Baha'u'llah", we humans can at last come to realize that reality which for millennia was hidden from human eyes.

Art and Culture
I truly believe that this documental series need to be translated or at least subtitled to other languages like Spanish, Portuguese, and many more for the importance for human history and culture.
WOW WHAT ARE THEY SMOKING LOL THEY WERE GETTING IT IN 👊🏾💪🏿💯 LOVE MY AFRICAN PEOPLE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
So come visit Africa, to experience it in your eyes.
