Bantu

The Bantu migrations had a vast influence on the development of Africa. The Bantu peoples passed on many concepts to the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Originating from Nigeria in the Niger River Valley, the Bantu migrated south and then spread to both the east and west. The Bantu laid the foundation for Sub-Saharan African societies. They spread agriculture, animal domestication, iron metallurgy, and cultural development throughout southern Africa. Various forms of government have developed as a result

The Bantu migration is the dispersal of the Bantu people from the region of Cameroon and the Congo area. The word “Bantu” does not refer to the people of the African expansion, but rather the African languages belonging to the people in the Niger Congo. Cultural influences that occurred, due to the migration of the Bantu people, laid out the foundation for other Sub-Saharan societies. Historians have used the collective information found by archeologists and other historians in order to draw conclusions

many types of relationships and how those relationships have reduced certain risks, or introduced new risks. Many researchers have tried to consider the uniqueness of the common examples that have been accented in anthropological research, like the Bantu people and the Basarwa people that Elizabeth Cashdan (1985) discusses. Although not all researchers have been as successful in identifying risk reduction reciprocity model in cross-cultural examples, such as Bliege Bird et. al. (2002), which proposed

1. Yali’s question is “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” In a broader sense, why did some things progress in some areas, but not in others? 2. The first consideration Diamond discusses is that just because something happened and that it would have happened anyway, it does not make the act good or just. The second consideration is that the most powerful region, in this case, western Europe, should

Bantu The word ‘Bantu” which means people in many Bantu languages, refers to a group of about five hundred African languages and to their speakers, today numbering ninety million. The Bantu people of Sub-Saharan Africa, lived about one thousand CE. They shifted from hunting and gathering to settle agriculture about four thousand years ago. The Bantu people traveled in to West Africa and Southward into the present day Congo. As the Bantu people migrated evidence shows that they absorbed most of

will migrate. When examining the people of ancient Africa, historians identified the fact that many groups migrated throughout the continent. It became evident that the different societies had some similarities and influences from one another. The Bantu people shared a common foundational language, which was a main factor in their expansion to the west as well as the south. In the northern part of the continent there was a colonial powerhouse forming. The Egyptian empire migrated along the Nile River

understand what has changed or remained the same over the course of history. It allows us to examine certain patterns or cultural influences and how they have either faded from history or still remain significant today. Domestication of animals, the Bantu Migrations, and the rise of Islam are key elements that will be discussed. Domestication is a very useful skill that has remained the same for many years. Animals can be used for meat, milk, wool, etc. They are also used as farming tools and transportation

During the Apartheid era, teachers had to under went changes within the education systems and teaching methods. As the National party introduce the idea of the Bantu Education act of 1953. This act would in its basic forms classify each race into their own future careers. The non-white or black students would have all their classes taught in Afrikaans. This new form of segregation also enforced segregation within schools. This act did not only impact the students but as well as the black teacher’s

Europe, the Bantu people of Africa, and the people of the Hindu caste system varied greatly. The 3 structures had unique types of people that served the needs of each individual government. The 3 structures were very distinct but they were not exactly polar opposites. The structures also had their unique ways of governing; I will explore these systems and how they mimic and contradict each other. The medieval people of Europe divided people into three groups called estates, the Bantu people did not

To what extent did the collapse of Apartheid in South Africa (1991) really bring about change for the Bantu population? The collapse of Apartheid in South Africa (1991) brought only a small amount of change for the Bantu population. South still faces racism in society, due to the continual domination by the “white” population with race interaction limited to the false “rainbow” television campaigns and promotional Africa strategies. At the close of Apartheid, a number of false statements were used
