The development of agriculture
The Bantu migrations were closely related to agriculture and iron-working in a continuous reciprocal process.
The Bantu refers to a group of over 500 closely related languages spoken by the Bantu peoples, who are primarily located in sub-Saharan Africa. The term also encompasses the cultural and ethnic groups that share common linguistic roots and historical backgrounds, originating from the region of modern-day Nigeria and Cameroon. Between 1000 BCE and 500 CE, the Bantu expansion led to the migration of these groups across much of Africa, significantly influencing the continent's demographics, agriculture, and social structures.
