Pre-Historic Africa

Bantu Migrations: 1000 BCE To 500 CE

Bantu Migration: Agrarian societies that originated in West Africa Settled along River and Lakes. Why? Produced Yams, Oil Palms, Millet and Sorghum. Stateless or Segmentary Societies. (not a Bureaucracy) Clan based villages. They governed themselves mostly through families and kinship groups in the post-classical era. What problems do they begin to face?

Bantu Migration Continued Why did they begin to migrate South and East? Population pressure Spread of Agriculture Use of Iron tools. Bananas migrate from East Asia and are able to grow in forest regions where yams would not grow. Result? Taking with them the Bantu Language which differentiated over time.
