How do the kung bushmen adapt to their physical environment?

Answer 1

1.Archaeological records indicate that hunter gatherers have lived in southern Africa for thousands of years (Shostak, 1981). Around two thousand years ago, the Bantu-speaking population began to migrate into the !Kung territory, bringing with them a much different way of life. Over the centuries they have lived together, largely maintaining their individual traditions. However, years of exposure to the relative ease of village life, with its cultivated gardens, herds of goats, and permanent housing have made it difficult for the !Kung to withstand the lure of an apparent easier life. Drought and the impact of overgrazing on the availability of wildlife have been factors in these changes, along with exposure to the concept of wages for labor and role models from the outside world. Although a few !Kung still maintain their traditional lifestyle, most have succumbed to the pressures of change.
