Territorial wars often broke out as the Bantu speakers spread south into these peoples' lands. Fighting with iron-tipped spears, the newcomers easily drove off the BaMbuti and the San, who were armed only with stone weapons. The Bantu speakers also exchanged ideas and intermarried with the people they joined, however. This intermingling created new cultures with unique customs and traditions.
