The genomic prehistory of peoples speaking Khoisan languages.

Human molecular genetics - 26 Apr 2021

Pakendorf Brigitte, Stoneking Mark

Abstract excerpt

Peoples speaking so-called Khoisan languages-that is, indigenous languages of southern Africa that do not belong to the Bantu family-are culturally and linguistically diverse. They comprise herders, hunter-gatherers as well as groups of mixed modes of subsistence, and their languages are classified into three distinct language families. This cultural and linguistic variation is mirrored by extensive genetic...
