Bushmen are a people of South Africa related to the Pygmies living around the Kalahari Desert. They average about 5 feet in height for the men and are nomadic hunters, living in groups of 25 to 60 individuals. Their language employs a series of clicks in their speech. They are also known to be painters.[1]
Evolutionists believe that bushmen are some of the oldest living humans. They display many ancient genetic markers present in more "modern" races: For example, the epicanthic folds of the Chinese, Native Americans, and the Sami people are also present in Bushmen.
