Who are the Khoisan? The World's Oldest Race and the Indigenous South Africans

- Who are the Khoisan? Arguably, the oldest race of modern homo sapiens and the original people of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and other places in Southern Africa. Today we will be looking at the unique people group of the Khoisan, a very distinguished people in both appearance, language, culture and history, yet a group that is very seldom discussed in the Western world, and I think deserves more attention.
Apologies for the lack of content recently, it's been a very hectic holiday season, but I think you all will enjoy learning about this incredible group of people who stand out among the races of the world. Thanks for watching!

You can see every race of the world in the faces of the Khoisan.
What about the aboringes 😂
They are the original humans.
Come to think of it your right. 😊
No you can’t.
They aren’t every people. They are African.
What is "the typical Black African"? All Africans vary greatly depending on the part of the continent that they are from.
@d puski but why is that typical? Africans vary greatly, you even naming several different groups of Africans proves that. The wording he used was just off. It didn't sit right with me.
He means the dominent ethnicity in Africa "Sub Saharan".
@@kernal1127 Khao San people are also Sub Saharan Africans. Sub Saharan does not describe any one group, only the geographical/continental location.
@d puski I think of a group of people, with an array of brown skin pigments, and different facial features, and variations of curly hair textures.
@d puski We don't know if Iwo Eleru is directly related to West Africans or not, considering the archaic features it had compared to modern West Africans today.
Hey, this was super insightful.
I am person living in South Africa of Khoi-San heritage.
My teenage rite of passage involved leaving my life in the city to spend time in the Kalahari desert.
I really appreciate your use of science to express the beauty of all people.
Your pronunciations of click consonants deserves a merit :D
The care taken to show the unique wonder of my people is deeply appreciated.
"Captivated by data" is not something easily achieve. The depth of your research has inspired me to reconnect to my heritage.
Your video has made a meaningful impact in my life.
I feel a meaningful and significant sense of pride in myself.
Thank you.
👍🏻
Just remember, you are not from any Homo Habilis 🦍 that’s the biggest lie detected in that video. They don’t know where we come from if not ape 🦧 will be able to turn to humans today.
Your reply should've received millions of likes. This video too.
You remain beautiful to my eyes.
💞 Beautiful.
Africa is called the motherland for a reason, everyone evolved from them.
Well said
Basically every place on earth is considered the 'motherland' to some people. Also what you are implying isn't how evolution works. Just because some group is in the place of all of our ancestors doesn't make them the ancestors. They too evolved from the people we all evolved from. This whole 'we are the original most authentic people' shit is stupid, from everyone who claims it.
@@homelessrobot I couldn't agree more. It basically implies that they have stunted evolution. It makes zero sense. People assume that we must have started as black because of the darker skin in Africa. Its almost as if some people in these comments think that the darker you are, the older the lineage is but neglect take into account evolution. Look at all the diversity there.
Africans evolved TOO! to say anything less is to say they have remained archaic, which is beyond fucked up.
I will never understand that argument.
Saying some people evolved from others would mean some people are more evolved than others, but that’s not true. We all evolved from our ancestors. People from every continent including Africa have been evolving for the last 200,000 years. Khoi San just seem to have adapted their phenotype less than other people groups.
Teddy Molnar that does not make sense at all. You might want to learn more about genetics and evolution. The human race did originate from Africa. And then expanded and evolved into several species, that have lived in different places around the World. Then our species which is “Homo sapiens” also evolved out of Africa and spread to all continents. We have also through time developed different blood types, etc
I am from a Nilotic tribe living in Kenya and there is a traditional legend that describes how we drove away indigenous short people as we migrated southwards. I just found out the legend is true and they were probably the Khoisans. Mind-blown!
Pygmies more likely
We have legends of us fighting giants in Somalia probably Nilotics no lie 😂
@@farahhersi9380 pretty much Nilo-saharans.
@Mwaniki Mwaniki wait....... aren't Kikuyu Niolotes ??
Don Lasky no bro you are wrong in this case....mimi pia ni somali-kenya but Nilotes are more related to the pygimies than the Khoisan...nilotes lived on the Eastern side of the Nile while the Pygimies lived on the Western and Lower sides of the Niles especially central africa and lower west africa.....so Nilotes are more related to Pygimies than Khoisan
Khoisan are one of the most unique groups in the world.
Maybe the
@N O M F U N D O Genetically they are the most distant and distinct people groups. Bantu africans are closer related to Asians and europeans than they are to fully blooded Khosian (many Khosian have Bantu admixture). They are also the only people who hunt by running down their prey and using extreme endurance to wear the animal down until it can no longer run away.
@N O M F U N D O I don't think so. Maasai are mostly pasturalists so they don't really hunt. But when they did they would target large slower animals (water buffelo, giraffe etc) and spear them in large groups
@N O M F U N D O Maasai are more famous for killing lions and other animals that might prey upon their cattle.
@@gabrielabdul8372 don Jose u are not vroom Africa and your def def not black lol.. stop lying
How can they have Caucasian features when they were here first
Remember EUROPEANS arrived here around 16th You can't talk of Caucasians features in khoisans
Whatever features Caucasians have, when we have them, they are NOT Caucasian, b/c their features have genetic roots in Africa and only find fullest expression when they migrated away from Mother Africa.
You guys so stupid. It’s called migration. Try taking a look at a map for a change.
You fools are so caught up on racial superiority or inferiority, you will never learn a damn thing because you only heed to things that support your biases.
SAnsAh MΛŘΛm what I’m saying is migration of people and climate is what causes us to look they way do. European features are features typical to European and could be caused by any of the two factors that I listed. A great majority of Africans just don’t have pointy facial features, so I don’t see the issue with how he described them.
Khoisan people are so stunning and pretty looking, their people should be embraced and preserved by the whole world. It’s tragic how their customs and beliefs are being trashed by African governments and ignorant western people from rich countries have NO idea how important these people are.
I hope to one day meet some traditional tribal Khoisan people and party.
So do I 🙂
this has nothing to do with the west evenn durinnng apartheid the ravist goverment didbt give them trouble the way the bantus did and countinue too do
Learn about bantu expansion they almost wiped them out and raped there genetics from what they once were I don't see any anglo looking khois on documentaries I'm sure there's a few but the history of bantu vs khoisan is much older than dutch and English vs khoisan
U sick them the rest of the black population not africa too listen black people comes in all size chapes and colours okay 👌 got it
You can't just blame the west for this. The apartheid government classified bantu=african=native, and khoisan people weren't classified as black or african. And the current government doesn't exactly do a good job acknowledging Khoisans either, because that would mean acknowledging that they are natives of southern africa and not bantu people.
They have “Asian” features?? Are you sure Asians don’t have our features? They have more Caucasian features? Are you sure all other features are not descended from our features 🤔
Yes you are right. It's how you Say.
Where they originate is irrelevant, the point is they share phenotypes.
It's literally the dumbest and least insightful thing you could've possibly taken away from the information put infront of you...
Just vapid arrogance.
Who's to say we all descended from Africans? Out of Africa theory has had some pretty big wholes in it for quite some time. Biggest being that we've found fossils of hominids outside of Africa before the supposed migration took place.
It's more like that we're a lot older than we thought and we still have no clue where we came from really.
Right 🙄🤗
@Chanel Wafuana except there's been fossil of homonids found outside of Africa that are dated to be older than what the Out of Africa theory put forward.
Africa being the most genetically diverse continent is completely irrelevant. Humans are becoming more genetically different as time goes on as we become more adapted to the environment we live in. Those groups in Africa have just been relatively isolated in proportion to Eurasia and haven't move so they've become more accustomed to their environment.
Not complicated.
Although out of Africa is true, yes, actually I am certainly sure all your statements are false
As a South African of mixed races living in NZ I must say videos like these can bring back a lot of things from my past life living in the region. What I do know is that they "the Khoisan people" like other ethnic groups always had some kind of stigma attached to them. This was exacerbated by a system of segregation know afterwards as apartheid. People like them and the Bushmen have such a strong, interesting and somewhat fascinating past 9 yet was clouded by a history that was taught to us that reduced these groups to almost insignificant beings. It was mainly outsiders that came in and did studies on them that some mysteries in their artifacts were pointed out and revealing a much more sophisticated people than was presented to us in history books. Today people like myself still do a lot of soul searching to find a better sense of self worthiness than was previously presented to us. May god help and bless the people of Africa. 🙏❤️ 🕊️.
I'm a British Kiwi but I also lived in South A, so I know about the mixed race/Coloureds, Ndebele groups, Xhosas, Sotho groups and other Indigenous peoples of South A.
The indigenous peoples of your country are very ethnically diverse and ethnically distinct from each other and the surrounding nations (other than Basotholand, Bechuanaland, South-West A/N and Swaziland).
Yous have a very unique and interesting history☦✝☦
@Brick Topp stfu stop spreading misinformation bout my people
werent some of te khoi pro white durinng apartheid due tohow the bantu treated them ans still trats them to this day
Not pro white but anti communist and pro self determination. Fought alongside Busman from 101 battalion . Were very good soldiers. It was an elite unit. There was a plan to as with South Africa to split Namibia up according to racial lines and for people to govern them selfs. It was called the Odendaal plan. For some reason the world just could not see further than one man one vote and bantu domination of all other divers cultural groups due to their numbers. As anticipated all other cultural groups are being marginalised and disenfranchised in every way possible way by the bantu due to their numbers. The Busman are now dominated by the bantu in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. Although the Bushman were the original inhabitants of Southern Africa they are now country less and have no power or say. The policy of separate development would have been much better for the Bushman as it would have given them the right to govern them self and to preserve their own heritage and unique culture. Separate development was the name of the policy that the National Party was pursuing in Southern Africa now commonly referred to as apartheid. Interestingly the most Swapo were probably killed by an other elite unit of Portuguese speaking banto called 32 battalion. There were and are a lot of banto who do not support the globalist and inevitably socialist policies that the world forced on us. Today we in South Africa are all paying the price for the globalist social experiment.

@oscar The "Muh CNN and muh NY Times told me bout muhfukkin 1619" irrelevant narrative
It's actually Quena not Khoi San. Khoi san was a term invented by German anthropologist Leonard Schultze. And those nomadic people in your video would be the Kung. The Quena were a pastoralist people and established a refreshment station at Cape Town with a highly developed economy. The history is much more intricate and rich than just people walking and hunting.
Pretty much all of africa gets this treatment. Accept North Africa
They were the only capoids known to own cattle, but they wouldn't have had any agriculture, for the same reason as the Bantu not having settled in the Southwest Cape: it's a winter rainfall biome, and no local food crops can be grown in that climate. That's why the whites settled so early, and set down roots.

There is no typical black African
Yes there is. Africa is largely comprised of Bantu groups and they certainly look very similar. The other groups in Africa are not as large.
More generic diversity in Africa than anywhere else, naturally, since we started out there.
The Niger-Congo languages are the world's third largest language family in terms of number of speakers and Africa's largest in terms of geographical area, number of speakers and number of distinct languages and that makes Africa the orginal place of black people and if you include Khoisans then it makes us the world's second larges black ethnic group...

So what is a typical white person? This is why I unsubscribed from the channel
Pygmies is a derogatory term they are called twa or batwa
Bobby E. Wright Batwa is not one word. (Ba Twa) a term and not a person.
@Jerry Tyrone Hunt The were called Dwarf which was derived from Twa also called Nigritos in the Philippines.
@Frank DeFalco Are there people in Ireland? How did they get there?
Did they use the usual Flying Saucer? The Twa went all over the world as one of the oldest people on the Planet.
Yes they were in Ireland before the Irish, who went there by ships and like everywhere the Irish go, they would kill everything that they could.
@Frank DeFalco By the way the word Dwarf is derived from the name Twa which is pronounced (Dua) Dwa-af.

Yeah, Masaman trying to divide black people / africans as usual for his master race.
Scoring57 there is no “master race”. There are no races in general. The idea is flawed, old, obsolete, bigoted, and based on no more that physical appearance.
Secondly, though races themselves don’t exist, genetic differences between populations do, and it is in-fact true that the Khoisan are some of the most genetically diverse people on the planet. If you wanted to try to divide humans based on generic difference, you’d end up with six clusters: North Khoisan, South Khoisan, Central African Foragers, West Africans, East Africans, and Non-Africans. These aren’t races though, because one cannot divide these groups in a “clean” manner, because there will always be admixture between groups (most Khoisan even have some trace amounts of Neanderthal ancestry).
Another thing: the common practice of labeling people based on their skin color I.e.(black, white, brown, red, yellow) is a byproduct of the obsolete idea of race, so its best not to call people “black” or “white” or “brown” etc. Just go by ethnicity, which is much more clear.

Thanks for the video. It's very interesting. All people who talk about human science get heavily criticised. As an African, I wish that those who complain that a non-African's video inaccurate or supremacist could just make the effort to post an accurate video about the history of their country or our continent. In 2020, nothing prevents us from doing it. We have all the tools necessary to share our story. Europe, Asia and America do not wait for Africa to tell them about their history.
This so informative. I am a South African Bantu. I'm doing my research on the Khoisan. The Khoisan descendants are trying to revive their heritage.

I am a Kikuyu from Kenya (Bantu) and I have been reading about the history of my people. There exists stories of forest-dwelling peoples that inhabited our current lands before our forefathers came. These included the Agumba (said to have been short people), Athi, Kinale, Ndorobo & Ogiek. The Ndorobo and Ogiek are still identifiable in parts of Kenya's Rift valley. The rest disappeared (mostly through assimilation) within the last 200 years.
But that "LITERATURE" is European Ethno-ANthrop[ological LIES in order to tell the Kikuyu that they are NOT the ABORIGINAL OWNERS of the lands where they live! Its VERY RACIST and COLONIAL BRAINWASHING! For those who KNOW Gíkúyú as a LANGUAGE< these LIES just DONT stand up to SCRUTINY....LSB LEAKEYS Ethnographic Anthropological book is FULL OF LIES if one is a Gíkúyú person- just read his book to a Gíkúyú from age 65-90yr plds they will show you how many LIES LSB Leakey told about the Gíkúyú so you CAN TRUST these COLONIAL ETHNOGRAPHIC "literature"
The GUMBA, the DOROBO were the descendants of the PYGMY ASIATICS like KHOI, SAN, BATWA TWA, etc of Sout-West Africa who were LEFT OVER after the PANGEA. The Ogiek are NOT part of these people, they are MAASAI, KALENJIN-GÍKÚYÚ peoples, and e=if they have any PYGMY blood its that of Gumba but very little. So read these "literature with a pinch of solt, as they write too many ETHNOGRAPHIC LIES if you ask a REAL LIVING Gíkúyú who KNOW their LANGUAGE and CULTURE-none of these TALES will stand!
the SAN are CANAANITE(modern EUROPEANS)=SINITE(ancient Chinese=of SINAI=hence SINITE with little-flat-broad nose shape as can see in MONGOLIAN Colonised, and LANGUAGE STOLEN(like Afrikaaners in SA-NAME Stealers, CHINA)-and South American ASIATICS(long thin MONGOLIAN nose) who were LEFT OVER after the CONTINENTAL DRIFT=PANGEA, so they INTER-MARRIED with BANTU peoples-the NGUNI=Xhosa, Zulu and others. But they RETAINED their SHORT STATURE FLAT NOSE PYGMY population who hunted the PLAINS AND FORESTS from South Africa to Congo---you are right they are of the SoutEastAsian peoples who intermarried with BANTU and are therefore NOT BANTU nor NILOTE....
But the LANDS you show are places they HUNTED not places they OWNED or belonged to...The BANTU NILOTES did NOT KILL or push them out, they were intermarried, until the BANTUS realizzed they were growing SHORTER, PYGMY and even DWRAF or MIDGET and therefore BEGAN to STOP Inter-Marrying with them...
I heard there were many of these groups that were hunted to extinction by Western and Eastern African groups.
Yes the Kikuyus assimilated them and also some early Cushite/Nilote tribes who were living in central kenya, thousands of years before Bantu came.
I heard many of these groups were also hunted.
One of the guys I worked with (different department) was Kikuyu! Also, one of my favorite TH-cam channels was a Kikuyu who went by Stomedy - a very funny guy who unfortunately was bullied off the air by some more "popular" TH-camrs.

The idea that black South Africans are "not indigenous" and therefore are no less "invaders" than colonists is an old settler myth, used to undergird apartheid justifications and colonial dispossession via the uprooting of native title in a general, race-based way. It remains politically popular among some groups of people, just as its absolute opposite does (that Bantu-speakers' presence anywhere in the subcontinent invalidates all white South Africans' claims), but it is just as simplistic and incorrect. In fact, South African scientists and ethnographers long knew that mixed agriculturalists using iron--and whose material culture matched people north of the Limpopo--were present before 1500, all the way down to the Kei. During the apartheid era, they weren't generally allowed to say that these were Bantu-speakers, or to link them with any living groups of people. However, there were various S-group Bantu language speakers everywhere east of the 400mm annual rainfall line (about 26 degrees E longitude), slowly moving west and south, starting no later than 1400 or 1500 years ago.
As for indigeneity, people did in fact identify differently in the past--totemic and patronymic naming changed with allegiances--but that is the equivalent of saying that white South Africans all arrived after 1795 because the Dutch East India Company "vanished." The families still exist; Xhosa, for example, was a real person who lived near the Mbashe or Qhorha rivers around 1700. Generally, the passage of early Bantu-speaking communities to the south of the Limpopo is pegged somewhere around the sixth or seventh centuries, as per Peter Mitchell (Archaeology of Southern Africa, 2002) and more recent works. Certainly, large settlements of hundreds or thousands of family compounds existed by the tenth century, including the Toutswe complex and of course Mapungubwe in the north; more recent is the massive complex of settlements collectively known as "Bokoni" stretched across Mpumalanga, which emerged between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, but we have evidence of homesteading all over the region that goes back up to a thousand years and does not fit the pattern we ascribe to Khoisan people. (That said, Khoisan tended to merge into Bantu-speaking societies over time, so it's hard to know the exact dynamic.)
It's important to point out, despite its obviousness, that "South Africa" was not one place to arrive. It's a very big country, with a wide range of climates and topographies, and it is true that the southwestern Cape and most of the area west of the 400mm isohyet were not the homes of Bantu-speaking states and communities in the era before 1800.
The different mix race groups of South Africa and Namibia would be great to see and would help educate the world on groups of people most haven't heard about.
Very nice! I am very glad you several topics I've been suggesting for a while. Usual suggestions:
1. Comparing and contrasting Sub Saharan African populations and Indigenous Australian/Melanesian populations.
2. Khazar Theory of European Jews
3. The native people (Talyotic) culture of the Balearic Islands (would be a similar format to the Guanches of the Canary Islands I'd imagine)
4. Genetic origins of Iberian peoples beyond the Islamic conquests
5. Who lived in Doggerland?
6. Unique and rare phenotypes
7. Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest
8. Who were the first Californians?
9. Non-Turkic populations of Turkey (fascinating stuff when you get around the Black Sea; a lot of overlooked history and people groups)
10. Jews of South and East Asia
11. Homo floriensis "Hobbit" archaic human group of SE Asia
12. Albanism and Cyanosis and how actual populations are effected by that
13. Sao Tome and Principe, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea
14. Japanese South Americans
15. Insular Chile/Southeast Pacific
16. Anglophone regions of South America
17. Inuit and Aleut peoples + Was there an ancient civilization in SE Alaska + Who were the Berengians?
18. The population of Svalbard (include Russenorsk language)
19. Native peoples of Myanmar, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Eastern India
20. The most surprising ethnic minorities (not necessarily diaspora groups)

Bro. How tf do you find this information? Im. South African and we didn't evem learn this in school. Im also a "Coloured" with German, Indian, Zulu, Swati, Irish ancestry. I really want to learn more about the world and myself and my history throughout the ages. I appreciate the work brother. Please do more on South Africans, particularly Zulus or Indians! Thanks
I was thinking the same! The info is mind blowingly detailed.
Do a DNA test you will be amazed. Our family did and we're khoi, indian, Greek, German and some other European which I can't remember now. I'm also coloured from the Western Cape. It's strange that you guys didn't hear about this in school. I was in primary school in the early 90's and our history teacher taught us this. She said if you ever forget everything you learned in school please remember the Khoisan because they are part of you, your blood, YOU.
You do research online. It gets a lot more deeper than this. Did you know coloured people have the highest percentage of Khoi and San genes out of all the Southern African races? Even higher than Bantu. Thats because of the history of the geography of Southern Africa and the climate. Khoi and San are made up of many different peoples and cultures and some of the Khoi ancient craftmanship is just beautiful.
@Mandume Ndemfayo Yes I'm fully aware of Namibia. The country's my neighbour :). The studies I've researched include Namibia as well. Remember the meaning of the word "coloured" is just aesthetic and a European term to group people of the same skin colour together. Demographically based on European race classing system "coloured" people are found from the Western Cape up past Namibia, Botswana and Southern Angola. And yes the further you go north the more profound the Khoi and San genes become. Showing an exodus from central Africa well before the Bantu migrations or old. The bronze coloured skin tone is a feature of the older genes so to speak.
You have more mixed genes than the Royal Family of England
These people are NOT a race on their own! They are AFRICANS, the most diverse people on earth!
You got it. Drew Benski said the same when he visited Africa.
I saw some of the Khosian features in my grandmother. The eyes, skin and facial build.

Your videos are awesome. A lot of information provided on distinct groups of the world compressed in about 15 minutes.
They truly look the ancestors of all races, almost White, Asian, South Asian and African.
you're right indeed they do!
I think all the research points to the San being the source of the group of East Africans that migrated into Arabia some 70,000 years ago, some headed further east and some by 60,000 years have moved North into the Levant where the admixture event between Neanderthals and H. Sapiens occurred. This source population of Neanderthal/Sapien Hybrids would split off into different isolated populations and form all the source populations for peoples from Europe, Middle East, North Africa and all of Asia but in Asia, there was another admixture event with Denisovans who were distinct but from Neanderthals but closely related to Neanderthals. I read in one of David Reich's papers that the DNA of the Denisovans is whey certain Asian populations can live in altitudes that no European, African, South American, etc are able to. The tallest 100 mountain ranges in the world are all in Asia so something unique to the Denisovan admixture that is part of the genome in certain Asian populations explains this ability.
The whole out of Africa Theory is in question, since the finding of the Graecopithecus bones in Greece, those bones are
¬200,000 years older than the earliest African hominid.

I replied to a wrong comment only noticed it now when the imbecile Land Rollins replied to it
@Brick Topp Actually the other way round. Linguistics and genetic studies show that the KhoiSan are one of the oldest grouops of people on earth. Some Asian features can be traced to when Africans left East Africa 60,000 years ago.
Bantu's came down from the north 1100BCE in the great Bantu migration and mixed with all but the most nomadic tribes.
When Zheng He came to Africa Mansa Musa was the richest man in the world much too late to create such a unique group.
the SAN are CANAANITE=SINITE(ancient Chinese=of SINAI=hence SINITE with little-flat-broad nose shape as can see in MONGOLIAN Colonised, and LANGUAGE STOLEN(like Afrikaaners in SA-NAME Stealers, CHINA)-and South American ASIATICS(long thin MONGOLIAN nose) who were LEFT OVER after the CONTINENTAL DRIFT=PANGEA, so they INTER-MARRIED with BANTU peoples-the NGUNI=Xhosa, Zulu and others. But they RETAINED their SHORT STATURE FLAT NOSE PYGMY population who hunted the PLAINS AND FORESTS from South Africa to Congo---you are right they are of the SoutEastAsian peoples who intermarried with BANTU and are therefore NOT BANTU nor NILOTE....
But the LANDS you show are places they HUNTED not places they OWNED or belonged to...The BANTU NILOTES did NOT KILL or push them out, they were intermarried, until the BANTUS realizzed they were growing SHORTER, PYGMY and even DWRAF or MIDGET and therefore BEGAN to STOP Inter-Marrying with them...
I was waiting for a video on the Khoisan. I knew they were the oldest race on earth, followed by the pygmies (I wish there were a better term, pygmy sounds bad), then the Nilotes. I know lots of Tswana and have been to Botswana, and some of them almost look Khoisan, while others look pure Bantu. Thus, a video about the Tswana would be the most interesting for me in terms of other people groups with Khoisan ancestry. Botswana is also a hotbed of metalheads and metal bands, for a random, useless fact. If you like death metal, check out the new Overthrust EP.

Also, there needs to be a non-demeaning umbrella term for the "pygmies." Sadly, there isn't. I'd like to see a video on them, too.
Fancinating, thanks. As a "white male" who has Ancestry DNA, I recently had it update and tell me that I am 1% Khoisan, Aka & Mbuti Peoples. I think the heritage is the Khosian, who closely resemble my grandmother who was from South Africa and "dropped" by her Father when she was only young after her Brazilian mother passed away in Kimberly (Diamond Mine area) of South Africa - the reason for being "dropped" is because she and her brother looked far too "brown" for his liking - what with her Father being a white South African. For reference, my Grandmother was born around 1920.
Either way, I am very happy for my heritage wherever it comes from and this helps make sense of why my Grandmother, too light skinned for the Blacks in UK and too dark for white people, always looked different. She was only a small lady, 5ft4" if she was very lucky and me being 6ft made us look quite the pair. Great lady.

You’re absolutely right about their incredible knowledge of plants and medicine. Their people live for very long and are probably some of the healthiest people on earth
This is what happens when people are left alone to develop their cultural knowledge. A lot of African culture and knowledge was lost when Europeans invaded. Instead of Europeans building on what was already there, they set out to destroy and impose their will. This is what is ailing Africa today. We live with an artificial culture that is not compatible with us. And we are forced to remain it otherwise sanctions are imposed.
A very interesting article and film. I love any information about the Khoi San and their relative people, and respect those who are able to live in such dry areas, which most people could not do. They know how to find water or drinkable natural areas or plants where drink is available, in places where most people could die of thirst. I think them very beautiful, and many people in Africa are wonderful to see. I was brought up in Kenya and the Masai and Kisigit have their own talents. The Kisigit are known for their love of running and sport. I was brought up with one who taught me a lot from what she knew of her own tribe. Cynthia McLaglen
Yes, this world is burning. But the Khoi-san will survive while you will not.
Khoisan people look so unique, they look like Asian africans
The evolutionary pressures of southern Africa are quite different to the evolutionary pressures found on other African regions.

Very informative and I enjoyed this vid. I spent two weeks with the Kung people in Botswana several years ago. I believe these are the hunter-gatherer population that you are including in the term Khoisan. I do remember that they considered san (part of khoi-san) to be a derogatory reference. I was told it derived from the word for thief in another language.
There’s no such a group of people called Khoisan...we need to stop calling these various groups of first people of the world this word. Also you’re wrong saying that Xhosa only has clicks. Zulu, Swati& Ndebele also have clicks...basically all the Nguni languages of South African have various clicks
Re: "all the Nguni languages of South African have various clicks"
True, but the Khoisan has many more.
The San weren't the first South Africans. There were humans who pre-existed the San. Hominins & Homo Habilis pre-existed the San in South Africa, Botswana & Namibia. There's no evidence to suggest that the San or the Khoikhoi descend from them. There's evidence that the Khoikhoi reached South Africa in the 1st century BC & Nguni peoples arrived 100 years after the Khoikhoi.
The problem is historians have deviant agendas & foolish people like Masaman (who I've been following for 2 years) believe the nonsense that the deceptive Invader historians spout out.

From South Africa, shout-out to my people. I just want to point out that Nelson Mandela was actually Khoi-San , genetically speaking, but was from the Abathembu tribe which is a Xhosa speaking group. In South Africa the Bantu migration theory is controversial because it was proven wrong in the 90's. Also, the apartheid government came up with the theory to justify their oppression of Nguni speaking people. Multiple studies have also shown that nearly half the coloured population in South Africa have more than 3/4 Khoi-San ancestry including myself and most of my family. However, in South Africa Khoi-San people's are not seen as being black hence why majority of remaining full-blood Khoi-San groups that still existed in 1910 were all grouped under coloured by the apartheid government. Most people in South Africa have Khoi-San ancestry and the Khoi-San influence on Nguni groups like Zulu,Xhosa, tswana, Sotho, Swati are clear in their language, culture, religious beliefs and even their physical features
@d puski bro the Bantu expansion was disproven, just research Mapungubwe and great Zimbabwe. Most Nguni people in south Africa are descendents of these 2 empires
@d puski bro I'm not even Nguni, I'm coloured. But to answer your dumb question Europeans only arrived in south Africa 300 years ago. It is a fact, what's also a fact is that Africans were already settled in south Africa well before that

LEN JON
You have to be very careful & question the 65% European DNA reading. The fact is, INDIGENOUS BLACK AFRICAN KHOISAN, also called GRIMALDI to hide their true African identity, were the 1st Modern Humans to migrate into the European Regions of the Asian continent over 40,000 yrs ago. A second wave of INDIGENOUS BLACK AFRICANS called MOORS, also called BLACKAMOORS, invaded & ruled most of the Mediterranean Basin for almost 800 yrs(technically 781 yrs, from 711 AD to 1492 AD to be exact).
Then there was the approximately 300 to 400 yr influx of INDIGENOUS BLACK AFRICANS brought in to Europe during the European slave trade. Therefore, having 65% European DNA is very misleading, because almost everyone ASSUMES that having European DNA means WHITE/CAUCASOID/CAUCASIAN DNA. However, it could just as easily represent INDIGENOUS BLACK AFRICAN DNA.
After all, INDIGENOUS BLACK AFRICAN KHOISAN/GRIMALDI inhabited the European Regions of the Asian continent tens of thousands of yrs(approximately 32,000-34,000 yrs) BEFORE the WHITE/CAUCASOID/CAUCASIAN RACE ever started coming into existence. The use of the word EUROPEAN, to establish racial classification, is deliberately vague & misleading because European DOES NOT DENOTE A RACIAL CLASSIFICATION.
Wilfried MBANG I know
Kenneth Strickland there is no race, but only the Homo sapiens ( mixed with neatherthals and denisova) . I know about the moors and I know Black Egyptians also immigrated in Europe and brought their civilization and culture. So in the White European DNA probably there is some mixing with the Moors or black Egyptians and other humans . About my European DNA: My father is half Portuguese and half Irish and my mother is partly French and she also have a little percentage of British DNA. Of course at the end they all came out of Africa. The European DNA is just to name the people who first immigrated to Europe and mixed with Neanderthals and change their skincolor from blacks to white and so on to survive the cold and the lack of sun. Sorry I just read that according to Wikipedia, the now called European were the second group of Homo sapiens who immigrated out of Africa to Europe, and not the first, as Grimaldi black man were the first Homo sapiens to reach and live in Europe. But thank you for your comment as is very interesting
@d puski
You seem to be confused. GRIMALDI IS NOT a species of humans, nor the name of a people. It's actually the name of the place/cave where the KHOISAN remains were discovered. Racist WHITES/CAUCASOID'S/CAUCASIANS, wanted to hide the race(BLACK) & origin(AFRICA) of the remains they discovered. Therefore they named those remains GRIMALDI rather than KHOISAN.
Amazing how they used to be the majority in half of Africa

Very true
I live in a small Midwest city. One day I was door dashing and ran into a man waiting for food at a McDonald’s. This man was the most striking person I have EVER seen in person, in my life. I immediately knew he was Khoisan. We stood there, alone in this empty McDonalds lobby (long wait because of Covid) and I eventually asked him “Hey, I don’t mean to interrupt you or disturb, but are you from South Africa?” He smiles and pulls out his left air pod and says yes. I follow up and ask “Would you happen to be Khoisan?” His smile got even bigger. He said replies “Yes, you know of Khoisan?” My smile gets bigger as well and I say “Of course, I’ve heard about your people for years”. We go off our separate ways from that McDonald’s. That same week, I’m still dashing and I deliver some food to these new expensive yuppie apartments downtown district off the river. The order says to hand the food to customer. I knock on the door, the door opens and it’s him! I smile sooo hard and he just looks stunned lol. We talk for about 5 or so mins and he says he is from Tanzania. So that really had me thinking. I asked was he originally from that country and he said yes. He asks me about if this is my hometown and I say yes. I tell him some cool spots to hang where there’s young people our age, he had to be like 21-25. When I say this man was absolutely gorgeous, he was absolutely GORGEOUS. Another thing he was surprisingly tall from what I’ve read or seen here on YT about his ppl. He definitely works out and it looked great on him. He was the bulkiest foreigner I’ve ever seen. I’m a descendant of slaves American black and I don’t fetishize about immigrants or black ppl in general but there was just something about seeing a member of the Khoisan family in real life… the pics and videos do his ppl no justice because I think about him often. Hope he makes it here in the Great Lakes.

For many years I saw these people on National Geographic TV station and I couldn't understand why these beautiful and cute people look this way and what are they. African or Chinese people. I understand now that people in the past were constantly migrating and mixing with each other. 😃 This is how they became so beautiful 🌷 Efrat. Israel
Thank you. Good to know where we all came from. Thank you Eldest, for our lives.

True though.
@@adrianskog4117 oh crap.....I didn't even catch that. 🤣.
Black people are the original people period it’s common sense💯💯
No, these people are.

@@QUEEN-fe3lu These people are Orange-skinned. Just coz they’re African, doesn’t mean they’re black. Some people NATIVE to Northern Africa are white.

The Khoi-San were the first people to live on South African soil! Therefore no Black Africans from other parts of Africa should be able to claim that they were the first people to live in South Africa.
Fascinating video! Born and raised in Cape Town and have spent much time in Namibia, so this connected many dots. It would be really interesting to focus on a subgroup of the Cape Coloured people - the Cape Malays. They are an important and fascinating part of the Cape's history and I'm sure you'd find some interesting information on them. Thanks!
Coloureds are just mix of black and white and Asian and all the races you can see in the world they created them..finish and klaar
Thank you for this article. I am classified as Coloured...initially I was classified as Cape Coloured. My wish is to have a piece of land. South Africa has so much land yet so many people are without land just to build a home. People are homeless and some have small rooms in other people’s yards. Its an extremely sad situation. I hope things will soon change in South Africa.💕👏

Just like the INDIGENOUS BLACK AFRICANS of South Africa threw off the yoke of APARTHEID, they should come together once again & throw off the yoke of poverty. Poverty represents a condition, it doesn't represent who you are.
Kenneth Strickland very true
😂😂 europeans lied the world.khoisan had small nation in south Afrika hw thy are the first people of south Afrika while there was a people before them ignorant is power to the people
@@kennethstrickland9633 What is poverty? Depression, loneliness, heart disease, obesity, stress, drug addiction etc. afflict the technological, industrialized, and developed world. technology is a double-edged sword. I know that 'the Gods Must be Crazy' was just a movie but it has some truth to it.
I always find it amusing when people outside Africa try to tell African history lol. This guy speaks as if africans are separate and not one family. The kohi have been living hand and hand with other Black Africans such as themselves for a millennia sharing genetics language and culture. Whites push differences to try and drive wedges with hopes of dividing and conquering the continent.
d puski Germans killed 2 million the jews, Germans killed 2 million kohi before that, Europeans enslaved over 11 million Africans, the Dutch killed 3 million in the Congo. WTF is your point ?
im a Xhosa one of the Khoisan descendent people. And I'm glad to watch the video. See if you can read Xhosa 'Ndiyabulela ngale video uyenzileyo mhlekazi, ngoku siyazazi imvelaphi zethu ngenxayakho siyabulela'
Wow, the Bantu expansion really hit them hard, they got kicked out of most of their land
That's a blatant lie, Mr Sheep. Disbelieve the 'history' of Invaders until you've seen the evidence for yourself.
Also you need to convert to Catholicism to be saved
@sl tlpa nope Germans, Dutch, Brits and the Portuguese were the ones killing us. Tswanas are mixed with San and Xhosas are mixed with khoe.
Sigh. There's a lot missing from this narrative.
OrahSUNSHINE I wish he would’ve made more of a point to say just that.
Nupuqi Om-Re Khonectics will guide you
How so?
you should make a video adding what you know.
Smaller eyes!!!! That's so distinct in my father and my brother 😂😂 We are Xhosa!
are you amaqgunukwebe???
It's interesting how Southern Africa, China, and Southeast Asia are the only three regions in the world that speak complex tonal languages in the entire population, despite having almost no continental connection or mass migration between Southern Africa and the latter two throughout history.
maritime southeast asia don't speak tonal languages only mainland like vietnamese, thai, cambodia etc.
Only mainland southeast asia (thailand, cambodia, vietnam etc.) have tonal languages not maritime 🤡 stupid people like you should stay quiet to refrain spreading your stupidity
Early human admixture is definitely some of the most fascinating things to dive into. Still so many mysteries, but what we have learned so far paints a very strange journey. We've had tools, art, and trade fair before homosapiens were around. The fact we still have so many hominid groups to even get full skeletons of gets me excited. Groups like the Khoisans and the Melanese really do shed light on how much more we can discover with more complete gene mapping too. It really is still an open frontier and so much can still change.
We already know that there were at least 2 or 3 different species of ghost hominin in Sub-Saharan Africa. Who knows what they looked like (outside of maybe the giant Homo rhodesiensis)? I hope that one day, we find their remains, and that they look as unique as Neanderthals, Denisovans, and Homo erectus did.
Start looking at the Australian Aboriginal it will blow your mind because it just throws all the history books out the window
I hope so too. Fascinating and such important subjects our human ancestors and the way we are so connected together as well as so diverse
I just stumbled on this video . I am so happy to see that there are other people who think like I do. I think there are many more hominoids who got absorb into Homo Sapien Sapiens thus creating this vastly different features of modern humanity . I am so happy to see this video . And the similar features of bushmen and south east asians I thought I am the only one who noticed that .
Your obsession with race is fascinating. There's nothing special about you.
Please do a video on Berbers/Amazighs of North Africa!
Great video bro, it shows how much much interest and time u spent on learning about our cultures
Wonderful work, it alway interesting learning about history of humans, look forward to more on this subjects as to how the African gene pool has evolved throughout the worl... thank you
The World's Oldest Race? You mean the worlds oldest Humans.
They are literally the genetic Adam and Eve in the flesh. We are ALL from them.
That's not true. We just share a common ancestor with them. That ancestor was not "them" just as it wasn't "us".
@@Cobbido Nope. You're wrong.
@@Jason-nosaJ Oh really?
Almost every tribe in south Africa from the 13th century had intermarriage with Khoisans and that's why we appear lighter... Sotho people are the descendant of Khoisan and some Nguni people are comprised from Sotho-Tswana and Khoisans
These people don't live in tribes, they live in bands, "tribes" in anthropology is not a catch all term for any non civilized people, it's a specific term. These people have no chiefs, no hierarchy and live an egalitarian existence known as "band society"
South Africans dont appear lighter to me.
Mpho Phetla's comment seems very right to me. I have been suspecting that for years.
@@mixtapemania6769 You have to disagree with an explanation but since you did not then i shall turn a blind eye on your comment
What nonsense is this?💩💩💩
