A very ancient people
The Kun San (bushmen)
Danilo Antón

The Kung San, who inhabit the deserts of the Kalahari and Namib in southwest Africa, are now an anthropic remnant cornered in marginal locations. They are part of the first and oldest civilization of southern Africa, probably dating back over 100,000 years.
Kung San are the true First Nations of the African continent (and perhaps of the planet).
This surviving culture is organized in small communities of about twenty or thirty people during the rainy season, concentrating in larger numbers in the dry season. They feed on small animals and collect plants, particularly the walnuts of the "mongongo" tree (Schinziophyton rautanenii) that provide most of their food. This deep-rooted and drought-resistant tree plant, which can reach a height of 15 to 20 meters, grows on the sandy soils of the Kalahari. Its fruits have hard bark and can be stored and consumed after several months.
Like many traditional societies that live in close contact with nature and live in family and tribal communities, Kun San give a deep spiritual sense to natural elements, individual freedom and solidarity with other members of their group . They are not hierarchical societies and therefore have neither bosses nor subordinates. These characteristics are not unique to this Kalahari nation.
There were and many others with similar attributes on all continents. Humans in small groups and in close dependence on nature tend to develop the best gregarious features of the species: the coordination of individuals to obtain sustenance for all, respect for the freedom of group members, solidarity with weaker,
The invasion of South Africa by the Bantu advance first, and later European colonization, resulted in the expulsion of the Kung San from their ancestral lands and their economic and social marginalization.
