"The First Bushmen were those who first inhabited the earth...When the
First Bushmen had passed away, the Flat Bushmen inhabited their ground.
Therefore, the Flat Bushmen taught their children about the stories of
the First Bushmen." (translation of remarks of a /Xam narrator //Kabbo)

| The Kalahari Bushmen, or San people, have lived in the very arid Kalahari desert region of South Africa for approximately 2000 years . |
 |
| A brief overview of the background of the Kalahari bushman is available at my last post. |
One of the things that is interesting about the Bushmen is that they
don't have a written language, so everything in their culture is passed
down orally. They share their beliefs, rituals, and hunting and survival
skills to each other in their native language, from generation to
generation.
