How did the migration through the rain forest change the way the Bantu farmed and raised animal?
The migration through the rain forest led the Bantu to adapt their farming practices to the unique environmental conditions they encountered. They adopted techniques suited for the dense vegetation, such as slash-and-burn agriculture, which allowed them to clear land for cultivation. Additionally, they incorporated new crops that thrived in the humid climate and developed methods to raise livestock that could withstand the rainforest's challenges. This adaptability not only enhanced their agricultural productivity but also facilitated the spread of their culture and technologies across diverse regions.

What layer of the rainforest does the cacao grow?
Cacao trees typically grow below altitudes of 1,000 feet where about 4 inches of rain per month is the average. They cannot survive in desert-like weather and thrive in climates with high humidity and rainfall. These plants are fine in the shade and prefer moist, nutrient-rich soils. Because cacao trees can survive in the shade, trees do not need to be cut down in order to grow cocoa. While cocoa probably originated in the lowland rainforests of the Amazon River basins of South America, it is now found as far north as Mexico. The Amazon rainforest is an example of where they still grow today.
