The term Hottentot refers to an ancient South African people, also known by the less derogatory name of Khoi khoi, that have almost been bred out of existence as an unmixed group. They were primarily known for their exaggerated sexural organs(in males the penis, which hung in an arching fashion, was very large in proportion to their bodies and was called the Hottentot Apron), their slanted eye appearance(epicantic fold) and yellowish brown appearance. They are believed to be the forerunners to the Mongoloid branch of the human race. Because of their exaggerated sexual organs, the females were reveared by outsiders and the men were often feared.
Why do Ethiopians have paler skin than most Africans?
This is a very simple question. Back in the day of the Aksumite Empire, Both Yemen and Southern parts of Saudi Arabia were a part of the Aksumite Empire. When these two races, dark black Aksumites and Pale Arabians mixed, the tannish color of the Ethiopian people formed. I know this because I am Ethiopian and I know a few of my Yemeni ancestors, in fact, I am related to a Yemeni king of the wollo region of Ethiopia, two of them! One is named The Great Ras Ali. The second one is named The Great Ras Ali the second. Anywho, that is how the Ethiopian population developed their tannish skin that is relatively really light compared to our African cousins.

What culture does setswana have?
Commonly known as Tswana, Setswana is another of South Africa's eleven official languages. Setswana speakers live in the Northern Cape but are also found in Zimbabwe and Namibia one is also able to bump into many Setswana speakers. Furthermore it's Botswana's national language.
Being a Bantu language means Setswana is related to other Sotho languages namely Southern and Northern Sotho. Because all the Sotho languages are related it can be hard to learn Tswana as it will be easy to confuse the languages with each other.
Within the Setswana community wealth is measured by the number of cattle in a person's possession. The Setswana even has its own Forbes list called the "Setswana Forbes" listing the names of wealthy individuals.
Traditional healers, or sangomas, and music play a very important part in their culture. Music consists of only string instruments and human voices.
There are many ceremonies to mark lifecycle events within Setswana culture. Funerals have become the most elaborate life-cycle rituals conducted shortly after death and have become one of the main venues for the expression of cultural, time, and resource commitment. Initiations into adulthood used to be elaborate ceremonies lasting a few months, in which girls and boys were taken separately to the bush during winter.
What are the Problems Faced by the tourism industry in Botswana?
Disease and Safety. Even places like India where the country is making extraordinary changes for the good many places still remain unsanitary. It is still very easy to contract malaria if you do not treat yourself properly, same goes for hepatitis. The good thing is if you are in the larger cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore, many medical facilities are considered to be in excellent condition. So if something medically does occur you can find a hospital that can treat you without much problem. If you are in a more rural part then it can be dicey. As for Pakistan and Bangladesh you will not find this. Even in the larger cities of those two countries you will not find a hospital with the capabilities that you would find in India. Maybe in Karachi but not in Dhaka. There are still major infastructure issues that are still prevalent in those two countries compared to India. The other big problem is safety. Naturally people fear of terrorism when traveling to this part of the world considering the rivalry between India and Pakistan, but that is probably the least of your worries, but still should not be overlooked. In general these acts have been small in nature and there has been little evidence that the terrorists main targets were tourists. But you also have to worry about petty crime and other crimes. The scary thing about India is women especially western women will get harassed by men for their outfits if they are revealing. Especially if you are getting on a train women have been complaining about getting groped and felt up by men on the train, mainly because they are so jam packed it pretty much will occur. Also some customs we find common in the west like Kissing in public is looked down upon in India just as Richard Gere about that. Like when visting any third world country there are going to be parts where there will be extremely poor people even worse than what you would see back home and very often they will surround you begging for money food or anything else. Really the best way to avoid this is to not dress extravengtly just try to look as poor as you can, because it is to your benifit and try not to bring too much money with you. Even if you do not give they may take it right from you. At best just try not to go to these places. My advice is if you are traveling to any third world country try to go as part of a recognized tour group mainly because there is some protection with it. You will have local tour guides who are trusted and they will keep you in Areas that are safe and nice to go to. It will also help you from getting stuck in many of the scammer taxis and other scam artist.
