The Khoisan is a collective term to refer to the various hunter-gatherer indigenous tribes of Southern Africa. They are, in fact, two evolutionarily related but culturally distinct groups of populations that have occupied southern Africa for up to 140,000 years.
These Khoikhoi nations and Sān are grouped under the single term Khoesān as representing the indigenous substrate population of Southern Africa prior to the hypothesised Bantu expansion reaching the area roughly between 1,500 and 2,000 years ago. Many Khoisān peoples are the direct descendants of a very early dispersal of anatomically modern humans to Southern Africa before 150,000 years ago. Some 22,000 years ago, they were the largest group of humans on earth.
The Sān are popularly thought of as foragers in the Kalahari Desert and regions of Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Northern South Africa. The word sān is from the Khoikhoi language and simply refers to foragers ("those who pick things up from the ground") who do not own livestock. As such, it was used in reference to all hunter-gatherer populations of the Southern African region whom Khoikhoi-speaking communities came into contact with and was largely a term referring to a lifestyle, distinct from a pastoralist or agriculturalist one, and not to any particular ethnicity. Today, only about 100,000 Khoisan, who are also known as Bushmen, remain.
They are variously described as the world’s first or oldest people; Africa’s first or oldest people, or the first people of South Africa. Their first-people status is due to the fact that they commonly retain genetic elements of the most ancient Homo sapiens.
Origins
It is suggested that the ancestors of the modern Khoisan expanded to southern Africa (from East or Central Africa) before 150,000 years ago, , so that by the beginning of the "mega-drought" 130,000 years ago, there were two ancestral population clusters in Africa. They were ancestral to the Khoi-San and bearers of haplogroup L1-6 in central and eastern Africa ancestral to everyone else. This group gave rise to the San population of hunter-gatherers. Their nearest living relatives are postulated to be the Hadzabe people from north-central Tanzania and the Mbuti pygmies from the eastern Congo.
Language
Khoisan languages share click consonants and do not belong to other African language families. For much of the 20th century, they were thought to be genealogically related to each other, but this is no longer accepted. They are now held to comprise three distinct language families and two language isolates.
Their most notable uniting feature is their click consonants. Linguists believe that the more clicks you have, the older the language is, and this one has five, the most of any. They have one of the most complex languages in the world.
Looks
The Khoisan are also lighter in skin color than many of their neighbors, but they do not have European or Asian DNA.
Charles Darwin wrote about the Khoisan and sexual selection in The Descent of Man in 1882, commenting that their steatopygia, seen primarily in females, evolved through sexual selection in human evolution, and that "the posterior part of the body projects in a most wonderful manner."
Most, like East Asians, have epicanthic folds. So do they have Asian DNA? No, it is in fact the other way round. The Khoisan are actually far older than any "Asian DNA". Their ancestors have been inhabiting that part of Africa since before the first migration of H. sapiens out of Africa, which occurred roughly 80,000 years ago or thereabouts. Thus, their DNA predates any haplotype that formed in Asia. So, it is more likely that East Asians have Khoisan DNA rather than Khoisan have East Asian DNA.
The San are ingenious at living off the land, finding water where no one else can and deriving food and medicine from over 1,000 different plants. The Hoodia gordonii cactus, which the San use for hunger suppression and quick energy, is now being used in contemporary weight loss drugs.
Today, the Khoisan struggle to maintain their traditional way of existence, and we are currently witnessing the end of their hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
I can see every race in their features
True indeed!
Open secret ✅
Correct me if I am wrong but last I checked the San has the European derived light skin gene
Not really. They predate every other race. Europeans are a fairly young race.
@@AfroArtistaFilms they can not predate Nilo-Saharans the darker than all, and the lighter can not produce the darker as it well known in Biology
You can certainly see where Asiatic people get their physical appearance from. The Khoisan peoples should be very proud of their ancient origins, I hope their culture is respected and protected, they are very precious.
Actually asians have a flat forehead which the khoisan do not. Asians also have a shorter femoral length which the khoisan do not. Asians have high arch and unstable ankles which the khoisan do not. If ancient peoples still live today, then where are the native tribes that gave rise to the native americans according to the Beringia theory?
*native tribes in asia that is
Lol they don't look "Asian", they look Khoisan. They are unique.
@elenamichaels9658 because their genes changed over time dawg
That's literally what happened to everyone. Every single race is derived from ancient African natives
@@elenamichaels9658empty reply. All you did was point out the distinct physical features that have changed due to their geographic location.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone tell the truth about the Khoisan and Asian Correlation - Thank you for communicating history accurately!
but no relation by dna.
@@ube-23s DNA IS BS.
@@ube-23sYeah there is a relation by DNA. Stop bullshitting. All Asians are descendants of the khosian people and other groups that all mixed in.
@@ube-23sif you don't like that, too damn bad.
@@CommonlyKnowledgeable It says there, You didn't hear it?
Look at time 4:58. It says they don't have asian dna. I know why you are only looking at the picture you were not hearing it.
Incredible. Africa truly seems to be the cradle of the human race. The darker skin tones has produced such diversity, ranging from brown to white itself making it hard to deny its versatility
Black is the total of all color. White is the absence of all color.
Yes of course , GOD made Adam & eve in the Garden which was in (Africa) every color , on earth comes from black , rather people like it or not, just facts ..
As an Asian guy, I'm glad that the Khoisan still exist up to this day. A direct relative to our ancestors! It gives me an idea what Koreans and the Japanese would've looked like of they never left Africa. I'm guessing the same can be said for Horner Africans and Caucasians since the two also share facial features.
KOISAN ARE DIRECT ANCESTORs OF BANTU PEOPLE..stop claiming genes you don't have.
So,you truly believe you guys came from us ?🤣🤣,all yo asian pals deny it?suprisingly you accept bravo
@@Theeoutcaste No, we didn't come from you! It's just that we share the same ancestor/s a very long way back. Pretty much all of humans are. Whoever denies that fact are idiots.
But to correct your reply. You're alive today, so it's impossible for you to be a direct ancestor of me or any other Asian. A very distant relative, perhaps?
@@Theeoutcaste definitely a mutation proven by a Asian scientist. Yes. Believe me, they didn’t want to see that. Lol we all comes from tribes. All POC are linked.
If u guys korean,japan,chinese marry negroid woman..ur son will be khoisan look like..
I have finally found a tribe of Africans that share my same facial features. People have often said I "had to have Asian" in my ethnicity and I always had to dispute it. I now know I AM KHOSAIN
Like where did the Asian people get their features from!? The Khoisan!!! The first man!!
@Aaron Hoppitt that's a really good idea. I've done the Ancestry one but it is so broad and has changed at least twice. I honestly thought it would reveal some strange Asian connection because of my features but nope. It gave me Benin/Toga and a variety of European "mutt". Do you have any suggestions for one that might do a better job with genetics versus genealogy? Thanks for your time
No such thing as asian features, people in sudan also have what people refer to as asian eyes
I think I may be a decendant of the Ancient Khoisan as well.
@@RaiRaiBrown I believe you are too my sister
As a xhosa man, hearing them speak I can tell that we have taken some of their dialect since we lived next to them in pre colonial times. Our language is part of the nguni group(xhosa, Zulu, isindebele and swati). Very similar languages and we understand each other perfectly. But xhosa has more clicks than the other nguni languages coz we separated from the zulus and moved closer to the khoisan and they gave us the name Xhosa which means angry men😂.
Am I wrong if I say you were kicked out by the Zulus???
Read and study Gods word The Bible and you will find out who the earliest peoples were. Evilution has been proven totally false by the ONLY none bias, none prejudice and none bigoted science, Mathematics, numbers. There is recent video from the "Answers In Genesis" channel (I don't subscribe to their spiritual and other Biblical teachings) on how the actual migration happened after the flood of Noah's day. The Bible is proven accurate and true time and time after time and again but, as God states in his word, the masses would still not believe but mislead instead.
@@truth-Hurts375 you totally wrong and she is totally right. Most of Xhosa words are very similar to Khoisan than Zulu. Xhosa took nguni words from Zulus that were asylum in cape province, running away from Tshaka . They were refugees in Eastern Cape, and Xhosas had to learn to compromise their Xhosa language to accommodate Zulus by learning isizulu words, so that they can be able to communicate. Otherwise this lady is dead right. Xhosa ' Kosa ' is very much similar to Khois and Sans language. Khois Kosa/Xhosa Sans Sotho and Tswana have been traveling around SA for thousands of years before everybody else came. They are indegenous of SA.
@@truth-Hurts375 You may be right, Xhosas were actually occupying Natal up to the eastern side of Cape province , until Ngunis came along with other smaller ethnic groups and occupy the north land called Zululand. As they spread downwards into Natal , they came across with Kosas. They were people who loved battles and they fight Kosas and were forced to leave Natal and spread in the Cape province where they met Khois and Sans and they lived peacefully ever after . That is when Khoisans called Kosas Xhosas instead, because they had angry look, since they were coming from the unstable tribe with their endless battles of Zulu nation. Now Kosas are Xhosas.
@@truth-Hurts375 AmaXhosa are much older than the united Zulu nation which was only founded in the early 1800's by King Shaka. Before that AmaZulu were one of the many small tribes in the East Coast region. There are many many Xhosa kings before king Hintsa who was ruling at the time of King Shaka. AmaXhosa namaZulu have never had much contact nor have they engaged in any wars against one another. So I don't know where you think who was kicked out, when, and from where?
Being an Saudi and watching those unique people is incredible thing love to all africans and i love there beauty\Cultures\Natures\history . Allah bless you guys .
The Khoisan are ZENSUNNI,They are your ancestors only few remain that know the true History,that's why Germans in 1920s was looking for the oldest people of this world and they found us we know that our King is coming back to destroy the evil that has plagued this world and Universe they called us gods but we are not Gods,originally the gods called us the Ancient Ones,We have existed before this universe ,Enki Osiris is coming back..all Muslims were created to protect Misr/Zep-Tepi because no human can defeat them,We must unite and fight against evil,Allah is the true God,Enlil Yahweh Satan aka YAKUB killed our King Enki Osiris Allah in Misr but Allah said I will teach them a lesson I will burn this Universe,The only reason anyone can kill Allah physical body is because he gave this worlds dominian to his children so that no alien bieng will be powerful here,The Qur'an has been corrupted by Arab royals because they are under Vatican so that you will not support your God when he comes back.
As a person with a Khoi Khoi grandma , im very proud to see that people still care about us ❤
Science also cares! I wrote my masters thesis about the middle and external ear morphology in khoi and san people, and compared it to other groups, such as East Asia, Papuans from the Sepik river region, or even Polynesia. Khoi and San people have been shown to have extreme genetic diversity, and serial founder effects led to a decrease in genetic variability with increasing distance from Southern Africa. I have found the same pattern for ear morphological variation. Fascinating!
Because of the internet. It is indeed like finding out about a distant cousin. I am mixed indigenous native and negro American so it's definitely interesting for me to see this.
@@spinni9768is the anyway I can get this thesis at ,it’s unfortunate the is no readily available historical information that truly portrays our culture and as you included our biology
@tefotevinmothibakgomo9210 hey,I am glad that you are interested in my research! Probably I will try and publish a paper this year about it, but I think I will make some methodological adjustments so it would be even more reliable, and include also people from other geographic regions. Maybe I can develop it even further and compare the anatomically modern humans with other extinct human species to investigate more evolutionary aspects. ^-^ I will try to keep you posted. :) also I have just received the grade - 1.1 ^-^ (1.0 is best and 4.0 necessary to pass)
@@spinni9768 count me in on the paper train
As a Motswana who lives side by side with the Khoisan I approve this video. It's so accurate though I really hoped they would mention that the largest and oldest population of Khoisan currently existing resides in Botswana. Apart from that this video does justice to our people, unlike all many other videos online this one really does it for me ❤️
Thank you. I have yet to watch the video but have saved it for later. As an elderly European woman I am aware that what we were taught as children was always from the european perspective and while my teachers were not disparaging they were, unconsciously, patriarchal. I was going to bypass the video thinking it was going to be yet another voyeuristic look at 'natives' (as if we all arent natives of somewhere). Having read your comment I am now really looking forward to relaxing and enjoying this video.
Happy to meet you. So, do most Khoisans have modern way of life like, electricity and schools? I’m just curious. Thanks
@@gloriaramontsho This video is titled badly. Khoisan may be the first population of Homo Sapiens, but they aren't the first population of "humans". That would be Homo Erectus who appeared 2 million years ago.
Great to hear!
@@helenamcginty4920 They failed raising or teaching you right, Because of the obvious having obviously gone so obviously horribly wrong..
This is us.... i'm proud to be a khoisan
It depends on your paternal lineage. What is your ydna haplogroup?
I'm also proud of you and your people my brother!!! All sons and daughters of Africa!
I'm praying that our country (South Africa) protects the Khoisan. We're slowly making progress, but for sure, more needs to be done. I am of Khoi decent, but my father's Xhosa and my mother Swati/Zulu.
@@dimbwemazala8978 for sure. I'm just speaking in terms of the government and politics I know and the efforts we need to be making. e.g there are books being published and a version of out national anthem that is going to include the Khoi language.
@@milaninodada849 Problem is khoi have many dialects so which one could be included?
Africa w ALL of its diversity,,, BEAUTIFUL cultures & rich history is a precious & priceless jewel for humanity. Such Wisdom & Knowledge reside there among its peoples.
Smart people tend to realise there were several Edens and they swapped material.
I don't have detail on humans but generally, the Ainu who were "brought over according to ancient Navajo stories, by the Tarim Basin Ket Gaelic speaking Amorites/Amurru of the Amur River Kingdoms, were a new breed made in Siberia, fostered 2,000 years then crossed once with "Amerindian" said the research, which is a little nebulous. After 2,000 more years they arrived as the Athapaska Na-Dene, Navajo and Apache at least, in sufficient numbers and with a better civilisation to assimilate and outcompete the locals if any were present. The enormous size of the diking and harbours on both sides of the Bering smacks of Tartaria but whatever it's technology that builds that extensively. Global trade. After a time there was a war and the Amorites were driven back right up the Amur River or killed, and the fur trade shut down. Seems Amorites were a critical race and they invented the Aramaic that Jesus spoke naturally. Bingo.
People have always asked me was I blasian now they ask my daughter is she blasian. Never understood why I look black and Chinese. Well after taking a dna test it shows I am part khosain too. Never heard of this culture before until now. I'm amazed that the DNA is so strong from my ancestors that some of thier features shows threw me and my daughter. This is amazing ❤
All Chinese originated from Africa! Human Genome project is their for all to Google.
I hope in your life you get to visit Western Cape, Northern Cape and southern Namibia. I am lucky to have done that. The people there are the descendants of the Khoisan people. In South Africa these speak Afrikaans (Dutch) now. They have forgotten their original languages and have a unique charming culture.
Not only are you blessed but you share the DNA with Lord Krishna who was known as Tehuti he was Half San and Half Anunaki.
My aunts always call me China because of my small slanted eyes. What we called Chinese eyes. I am a African-American woman in the USA. I just did my DNA to find Khoisan ancestry. 💖🙏🏾
Years ago I had a Chinese Boss and I remember having wonderful conversations about her culture. I had previously seen the Khoisan People in a book and I said to my boss at the time that I think I had a strong feeling that maybe my boss’s ancestors were descended from these people because of their similarities in looks and how their language sounded similar. My Boss didn’t disagree. DNA and human history fascinates me. Such a beautiful people
Yes!!! Spot on!
Yes, these are very beautiful people.
I spoke to a Chinese elder in my travels to the Far East, trading commodities of iron, fur, beets, grains and others for Chinese silk and woodcut, when after finishing our deal, I mentioned how the Khoisan people also had features shared with Chinese people, he was silent for a very long time and told me: "what is under heaven is known only to the wise, we Hua people are descended from Pan Gu.".
We shared a glass of whiskey and never mentioned it again.
Martin: most Chinese people would be like that, very proud of their history and would not accept they have Africa ancestors
@@tblk3747 I think the gentleman had a point, he used the mythic origin as a point to say the "Chinese" identity is based on Chinese culture and whatever humans arrived in China were not Chinese, through time, evolution, change...we cannot say the Chinese of today are the same people. They are distant relatives for sure.
Am from a Damara tribe in namibia...we use clicks in our language jus like San, zulu, xhosa etc its so unique...
Love it! I'm Xhosa and Zulu. Funny, Xhosa is largely spoken in the western to eastern cape regions in South Africa, but it's variations are so vast. I lived further inwards in the Eastern region and had trouble understanding some of their pronunciations. Languages are a beautiful thing.
@White man invented everything you means most advance intelligible language group on earth.
West Africans use clicks also but I don't know how many clicks they use. My Senegalese friend and my Malian husband speak to me in clicks but only using Yes and No.
@@theniceone26 nope they don't with west africans use clicks?
I am from Zimbabwe,even though I am a Bantu I know the original people who first settled the beautiful lands of Zimbabwe were the Khoisan people. Zimbabwe has one of the highest Khoisan rock art found all over the country. Right now there is only about 2 thousand San people left and we are doing all we can do ensure they won’t go extinct. We love our indigenous peoples.
In South Africa Bantu hate the fact that Khoisan were in South Africa first. Because it goes against the narrative of give my Land back
@@juciyjcurtis7938 Khoisan were first in entire territories of Southern Africa from Angola,Zambia,Namibia,Botswana,Zimbabwe,South Africa,Lesotho and even Mozambique. Speaking of Mozambique there is some reports that San people might still exist in the country today,in area bordering Zimbabwe and in another bordering South Africa. However they are hard to spot as they no longer speak Khoisan languages,but they have phenotypes showing some San roots.
Stop following that eurosentric bullshit history
It is said that when Kalki comes back he will reward those who are kind to his ancestors people.
I think the click languages sound so beautiful. I hope they and the peoples stay strong and healthy.
Ixoxo is a Ndebele word for frog, the X is the click sound. Try saying it.
im ONE OF THEM. IT really is a beatifull language in south africa we hv 12 official languages all the 11 ppl who speak other language all say xhosa is the most unique one they all amazed when we put words lyk , gqi,gqu,qhe,qi, ngqu,ngqe, qhe, QO, in one sentence, they just staire and be lyk WHAT....🤣🤣🤣
❤🥰and their music.........!
The Khoisan are beautiful people and runners with incredible stamina.
Their character was well gasped in the movie "The gods must be crazy". So sad that their way of living collides with the aggressive western style of living. I hope the very best for them. They deserve being treated with respect!
🫵🏽 🎯 it…Loved that 🎥 😌
Unfortunately they are not ,the khoi-San are camping outside the government Union Buildings for more than a years ,to be recognised as the only aborigines of South Africa and they are untitled to this land,but they are being totally ignored .
@@tokkieandrews9988 so sad! As if it was a global law that indigenous people must not be respected - on which continent whatsoever - be it Sami in Norway, be it all the first nations in the Americas, be it Australian Indigenous,.... I'm crossing my fingers for the Khoi-San!
@@Freiya2011 it is sad , but that was then people has changed, things are different today ,I do believe in one thing that man's journey has been decided for him even before he was born ,the people that are referred to as coloured people many of them are from Khoi decent and are wonderful people ,they make the best nurses ,doctors,teachers etc, all I know there is good people and there are bad people amongst us,I don't think my forefathers came here during the big "trek" they came here after the first world war one in 1919 ,many others came much later .
@@tokkieandrews9988 "belief" is not knowing.... No, I do not "believe" in such a thing like fate! That would be a bad excuse for not being willing to adapt and change for the better!
There was a genetic study done on the Afrikaner and between 7 to 10% dna is shared with the khoisan saying that khoi and san are two distict groups. western cape is primarily khoi khoi were I live there used to be khoi tribes awesome cheek bones - if you look at Mandela he looked like he shared a great deal of dna with them.
His grandmother was a Griqua/Khoi .
I’m happy to say that this is my genetic blood 🩸 line. 🥰
Being closely related to the original or first people on earth is wonderful!
I’m far from being closely linked genetically to humanity’s first people. It’s hard to miss how extraordinarily beautiful they are. We can see in their overall physical characters how they influenced the entire population of the world.
This population of people are truly one of the great wonders and treasures of the world!
Seduction _coffee don't let anyone rob you of your heritage/language/culture you have something amazing
Same here ❤❤❤
As a South African from Khoisan descent I what is being done to preserve this rich history and protect this lifestyle
Nothing , the black Bantu Nguni tribes in govt have sidelined the KHOI AND SAN people because they are the true and only indigenous people of South Africa !
This truth and proven fact interferes with their desire to claim all the land for themselves .
It's time for us other tribes of South Africa to stand with the khoi in their fight and preserve our cultures most importantly it's high time the khoi are given the recognition they deserve I mean we recognize the Afrikaner but not them how sad

Is it possible, as related to the biblical passage concerning/of lot 'going into his daughters' as well as the initial effects and features as when two closely biological relatives produce offspring (mongolism), that this particular group of people are the evolutionary result of a people who had initially gone astray (mothers/fathers uncle's/aunts sleeping with biological children/nephews/nieces)? Being that the old and modern day scientist all now agree of the likelihood that Earth's man & woman originated in Africa, then could they represent an improved version of the past but now known, modern day asian/mongolian people of Asia & Mongolia? Can it be said that these Khoisan + 'bush people' evolved from a prior mutated form of the first man and woman?
They are so beautiful. Amazingly beautiful and seem to be in tune with nature.

So agree. I wish the video had been longer, but a-searchin' I will go!
They have such beautiful features! Such interesting culture as well. I was thinking they look like they may have Asian DNA but it was very cool to learn its probably the other way around. Many Asian cultures probably have Kohsian DNA! Thanks for sharing!

I take for granted knowing a considerable depth of my heritage. My parents and theirs before have done an amazing job in preserving our culture. My father is Xhosa from the AmaThembu region while my mother is Zulu and Swati; they provided us with the top private education, but made sure we continued to go back home in the rural areas (on both sides) during the holidays, spending time understanding and practicing our culture.

The language is fascinating, it sounds like one person is speaking and someone else is doing the clicking. Hard to believe it’s all coming from one person, it reminds me of someone rapping and beatboxing at the same time.
This is quite the same how some Germanic language requires the use of "growling" and The Turks' use of "R rolling"
My family is from Southern China. I would say that the Southern Chinese as well as the Southeast Asians have similar features to these people. The Northern Chinese look different, they probably share more blood with the Russians.
Ancient Chinese were black

they are more different even with Mongols, chinese are closely related to Austronesians and South East Asians.
@@Aimlifestyle Yes but Asians likely had the same hair texture of Khoisan people when they left Africa. Meaning they were originally black African.
I hope they DON'T loose their hunter/gatherer ways, considering the way the world is going now. They may be the only ones able to survive.
I hope they lose them. We want internet too. It's time for us Africans to be highly industrialised too! I am tired of being poor!
But its their choice. Theyre not a monolith. People who want to leave and live a different way, will. The ones who want to stay will stay.

Beautiful people. So nice to learn about different countries’s history and cultures. For too long Africa and it’s people were given negative press. It still amazes me that so many people do not know that Africa is a Continent and not one country.
Amazing and informative. Thanks for putting this together:)
Can you imagine living in an arid region and surviving through hunting and gathering? The fact that these people have done this for thousands of years means that they are a heck of lot more capable than probably anyone you have ever met. Anyone else would perish within a few days.
I hope that their culture, language, and knowledge becomes stored for their future children to visit and learn. Humans are amazing. 🥰
Yeah, they put it on their laptops every night

Or…..they keep their language, culture and knowledge. You know maybe the possibly oldest peoples on earth can just keep on keeping on and pass on all that knowledge to their children.
My best friend at school was Khoisan. We met each other on the first day of school and just clicked.
pun intended? clicked
You must be Canadian. They see puns as the highest form of humor :-/

I hope all you wonderful African people get to know Lord Jesus so we can all be in heaven together.

We have a big number of San people in Namibia aswell. We have two tribes in Namibia that can be described as “descendants” of the San. The Damara and Nama tribes. We speak Damara Nama KhoeKhoegowab, which also has the same amount of clicks that the San have. Even though I don’t understand anything from the San language I can totally hear that KhoeKhoegowab was derived directly from it. The San are such a beautiful tribe. Most of the Southern regions of Namibia are still mostly populated by Damara and Nama people
As a KhoiKhoi speaking Namibian, I'd like to differ with your statement that KhoiKhoigowab was directly derived from the San language. We have the same 5 clicks but the dialects are completely different. When a San person speaks, I do not even understand one single word, but I do understand Xhosa words because we have words that sounds the same with the same meaning but with different spelling. And Damara people are not from the Southern part of Namibia. Damaras and Namas are two different ethnic groups who share the same vernacular.
Im black American and I can see the same features in the USA. Former boxing heavyweight champion Big John Tate looked like a bushman. Y'all beautiful man.
Highly unlikely though since the vast majority of black slaves were from West Africa.
He probably had some Asian or Eastern European blood
Because you was taught that. You don’t know shit about Africans or ADOS stay in your lane dude. Ados were mixed with various African ethnicities not to mention West Africans have those features as well.@@dab0331
I think the late Nelson Mandela looks very much like them.
He is a descent of them from the Eastern Cape, South Africa
Amapondo from Transkei they look like that they're half blacks
True
I recon if they tested his D.N.A , you would be correct.
I agree.
I wonder how hard it would be to learn that language. I can see them being the oldest people. You can see how they have features that look like a perfect mix of every race. I love their facial features. High cheek bones are so attractive.
Scientific evidence refuting the theory of modern humanity’s African genesis is common knowledge among those familiar with the most recent scientific papers on the human Genome, Mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosomes. Regrettably, within mainstream press and academia circles, there seems to be a conspicuous - and dare we say it - deliberate vacuum when it comes to reporting news of these recent studies and their obvious implications.
Australian historian Greg Jefferys explains that, “The whole ‘Out of Africa’ myth has its roots in the mainstream academic campaign in the 1990′s to remove the concept of Race. When I did my degree they all spent a lot of time on the ‘Out of Africa’ thing but it’s been completely disproved by genetics. Mainstream still hold on to it.”
It did begin the early 90’s. And the academics most responsible for cementing both the Out-of Africa theory and the complementary common ancestral African mother - given the name of “Eve” - in the public arena and nearly every curriculum, were Professors Alan C. Wilson and Rebecca L. Cann.
In their defense, the authors of this paper were fully aware that genealogy is not in any way linked to geography, and that their placement of Eve in Africa was an assumption, never an assertion.
I thought Arabic was the hardest language to learn but hearing this 😳 one wrong click or too many clicks will throw the whole convo off 🤣
Except their hair. Thats like the least mixed feature
🌵Khoisan black people from Southern Africa. Didn't know the name, but I have collected many African pictures with eyes that's fine and slanted. In the West, especially USA, some folks don't care to research or refused to accept that the human race began in Africa and that they were spread around the world. The documentary I saw was the "Real Eve," from Discovery store,they were mostly white scientists and three Asians anthropologists showing how we humans developed and transformed around the world all the way from Africa. Those fine slanted eyes are beautiful, and I have seen many Africans in the USA and around the world with those eyes. We didn't fall from the sky and landed in our country. People say Asian eyes, I say African eyes transformed into a lovely metamorphosis of the human race from Africa and around the world. The late Nelson Mandela has similar eyes. God is great through Divine Christ which no one has the real picture except what the Holy Bible stated.Though sinful earthly man lied to the world and created what they wanted us to see Christ as. But we must worship no idols as stated in the bible. For God is a powerful Divine Spirit and He created Adam and Eve from the dark soil and here we are today. Sadly, if we can try to do good and right, forgive, love, and help our brothers and sisters, without the false superiority and racism and hate, the world can be a better place. But God is in control and He is greater than man and anything on this earth and beyond, and the truth of human history from Africa will continue to be unfold and will be told. 🙏
Very interesting history and language to ponder upon, I hope more studies are done on their culture and they are left to preserve it. As an Indian, they look very similar to our North-eastern people, who are mainly descendants of Sino-tibetan people and look very similar to East Asians and some South-east Asians like Thais, Burmese and even Khmer.
You mean your people and the others look similar to them,remember they are the original people.
These are your ancestors
They were once Lord Vishnu people.
The Khoisan language is apart of the African language group, the speaker is wrong when she says it is not. The languages are spoke from Angola stretching to S. Africa.
Sad that africa was named by a white man
I think I meant the Khoisan languages are isolates. That is they dont belong to the major African language groups like the Nilosaharan, Bantu or Afroasiatic.
@@AfroArtistaFilms ok, I see that. Thanks.
@@AfroArtistaFilms it has been postulated that khoisan languages like hatsa and sandawe in East Africa are linked to later afroasiatic languages. It has also been shown that the earliest Nile Valley languages had clicks in them as well. I think the rush to disassociate San languages from other African languages is driven by eurocentric thinking.

They are beautiful people. I have seen some of their pics before, and did note both Asian and European facial morpho types. Hopefully they do not get too negatively affected by exposure to our modern culture as many indigenous groups have before.

I see the Asian but nothing about them looks European at all.
@@guesswhosgoing2jail2nite78 That video shows a specific group of Khoisan people and I would agree that the Asian look pops out. However, if you do a search on Khoisan people in general and look at all the facial types, I can definitely see Middle Eastern and Polynesian and some similarity to Europeans (ex: Gamtkwa Khoisen Council). Someone commented that some of the Khoisan people are now mixing with other groups (Europeans and other Africans etc.) so that may blur things a bit.
Wow 🙌 thanks for the documentary.
As an African i am proud to be the first man on mother🌍earth.

What have you invented?
They are so beautiful and their language is incredibly intriguing. Very fascinating ❤️
The term Khoisan is considered to be derogatory, but its now a recognized term. The sad thing is that, there use to be a lot of them, until the 1600's, when the Europeans arrived, and exterminated roughly 60% of them, enslaved 15%, and the rest fled into Bantu and Nama tribes. Interestingly enough, there are some clans within mainly the Xhosa, and Sotho/Tswana tribes, that are ethnically purely Khoisan, but culturally Xhosa/Sotho/Tswana.
Interesting!
They don't have a single name because they speak different languages and call themselves different things.
Their skin is the same as the sand
It's like camouflage
@@maazi.naaniya9158 The Khoesan, are very diverse, they come in all shades. Majority are brownish, light-brown is actually the minority. Also yes you are right, they refer to themselves in all sort of ways.
Beauty in Culture
Stop taking their land
The people shine brighter than your diamonds.

TRUTH!
My paternal haplogroup was "A"....275,000 yrs ago...descendant of the Khoisan Tribe/People. We have the same eyes! Exciting! Today, I see the Haplogroup A broken down to A0-V203. According to 23andMe, it is pretty rare...just 1 in every 10,000 people on their platform. Neat!

Hello
A very well put together video
Nice how the theme song doesn't over shadow the commentary...
Could you please tell me what background theme song you used...very earthly sounds
We know that people settled in southern Africa before they settled in Asia. But people like to assume the southern Africans got their looks from the Asians when it is in fact the other way around. Similarity we know that people settled in East Africa before they settled in Middle East. But again people like to assume the East Africans got their looks from the Middle Eastern people when it is in fact the other way around. Two separate migrations out of Africa from each group may be the reason why we have distinct phonotypes for Caucasians and East Asians.
You can see the mongols Chinese Japanese Vietnamese and Koreans came through this blood line.
Listen to the commentary. They have NO Asian DNA. However, Asians may have some African DNA.
@@veronicadabney1466 now you read over my commentary and correct your commentary. I said and I repeat because you don’t seem to have read. “YOU CAN SEE THE MONGOLS CHINESE JAPANESE VIETNAMESE AND KOREANS CAME THROUGH THIS BLOOD LINE. 👏🏾

Absolutely!
That makes them the youngest tribe on earth for you adapt to your suroundings not the other way around. If you live hi in the mountains your body gets small to make it easy for your blood to get co2 into it . If you live in a cold and dark place your skin gets pale and your eyes take a bleu or green collor to see better in the dark. If you live in a warm country with alot of sun your skin gets dark and eyes more brown to protect you for the sun . If you live on leveld plains with sunlight direct into your face your eyes need sunglasses but your body gives you olive shaped eyes . This body morphing takes time it's not one day to another , it takes generations . So if all these types are in this tribe that makes them the youngest on this planet . They were mixed with alot of people from outside and this makes them so . But most who mixed with them are from asia .

This tribe looks like everyone in my family! Our eyes and face structures are very distinctive and VERY similar to these people!
My mother once told me that when she was 8 yrs old in 1950s Alabama, she remembered hearing someone remark, referring to herself and my aunts and uncles, “u need to come and look at all these Chinese babies Rosa Lee (my grandmother) has!” 😂
I have cousins that look like EVERY ONE of these people shown! We literally call one of my 1st cousins by her nickname, ‘Chinese’! (Although since we’ve grown up she insists that we call her by her given name of ‘LaRhonda’! 🙄🤭)
It’s also amazing that Asians got that look from black ppl, rather than the reverse. Genes are SO fascinating…💕
Shout out to all the African Americans that look like these people, we see where you get your looks from.🙏💜
Here we see true natural people undisturbed by the so called civilization. They are light but they do not have European DNA. They look so honest and untempered. We cannot roll back time to have a full version of their lives but l believe we can learn a lot from their ways and philosophy of live
I hope their great knowledge of plants and cures never gets lost, it could be a great gift to humanity but respect for this community needs to be ensured too
Khoekhoe are tall dark n speak in clicks, san are much shorter n light skinned n speak in clicks. So r the rest of this language group from damara Griqua to Xhosa all direffent n have distinct features

That is where rap probably came from.
Is it possible, as related to the biblical passage concerning/of lot 'going into his daughters' as well as the initial effects and features as when two closely biological relatives produce offspring (mongolism), that this particular group of people are the evolutionary result of a people who had initially gone astray (mothers/fathers uncle's/aunts sleeping with biological children/nephews/nieces)? Being that the old and modern day scientist all now agree of the likelihood that Earth's man & woman originated in Africa, then could they represent an improved version of the past but now known, modern day asian/mongolian people of Asia & Mongolia? Can it be said that these Khoisan + 'bush people' evolved from a prior mutated form of the first man and woman?

Id say the Caribbean. And Brazil you will find people from literally everywhere there
European in SA represent the return of Khoisan descendants by way of Asia.
Totally agree.. even Asians and Indians are probably more concentrated in Southren Africa than other parts of Africa. As well as Europeans and Bantu as you mention
None of them should be there except the Africans period. Whites and Asians came by force slavery and rape

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12: 30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 the mentioning of the language variations is what brought the bushman to mind.

Makes me wonder anyway.🤗
They are the most remarkable people with incredible ingenuity. Laurens van Der Post (a former Poet Laureate) wrote a very interesting book named "The Bushmen of the Kalahari"

Read and study Gods word The Bible and you will find out who the earliest peoples were. Evilution has been proven totally false by the ONLY none bias, none prejudice and none bigoted science, Mathematics, numbers. There is recent video from the "Answers In Genesis" channel (I don't subscribe to their spiritual and other Biblical teachings) on how the actual migration happened after the flood of Noah's day. The Bible is proven accurate and true time and time after time and again but, as God states in his word, the masses would still not believe but mislead instead.
