the Khoisan is a collective term to refer to the various hunter-gatherer indigenous tribes of southern Africa, they are in fact two evolutionarily related but culturally distinct groups of populations that have occupied southern Africa for up to 140,000 years
these Khoekhoe nations and San are grouped under the single term Khoesān as representing the indigenous substrate population of southern Africa prior to the hypothesized Bantu expansion reaching the area roughly between 1,500 - 2000 years ago
many Khoisan peoples are the direct descendants of a very early dispersal of anatomically modern humans to Southern Africa before 150 000 years ago. some 22 000 years ago they were the largest group of humans on Earth. San are popularly thought of as foragers in the Kalahari Desert and regions of Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and
Northern South Africa.
