This book introduces the long history and current condition of the hunting people of southern Africa. It attempts to place the modern Bushmen, or San, in historical context and to show how they have continually adapted to outside pressures which, even today, are forcing them to fit into the modern states of Namibia and Botswana. Small-scale societies like that of the Bushmen have social lessons to teach a world that is becoming increasingly homogenised. Their lifestyle needs to be understood and respected. An introduction to the hunting people. The Stone Age archeology of southern Africa. The Later Stone Age archeology of Southern Africa. Finding the Bushmen in what Europeans wrote. The Bushman way of life - through European eyes. When cultures clash: Bushmen resist and adapt. Surviving against the odds. An ethnography of modern Bushmen. Hunter-gatherers in transition. The present and future of post-foraging Bushmen.
