Because the Bantu Tribe's culture inspired most of Southern Africa's as well...especially with the central spread of the migration where the Bantu people made a huge split in Central Africa going down.
There are more than 60 million people who speak Bantu as their native language. They live primarily in the regions that straddle the equator and continue southward into southern Africa where it is believed they migrated to.[an error occurred while processing this directive] It is believed that the Bantu origins lie in Cameroon. In about 1000 BC a massive migration began (considered one of the largest in human history). This migration continued until around the 3rd or 4th century AD.Anthropologists have studied this phenomenon and believe there are several possibilities for its occurrence. It may have been due to a growing population in ancient times, which increased the need for more food. It was around this time that the banana, which is native to Asia, was introduced in southern Africa.Another important occurrence in the history of the Bantu is a split that created two major language families. They are known as the Eastern Bantu and the Western Bantu. The Eastern Bantu migrated to Zimbabwe, Mozambique and down into South Africa. The Western Bantu migrated into Angola, Namibia, and parts of Botswana.Currently the Bantu are known more as a language group than as a distinct ethnic group. Swahili is the most widely spoken Bantu language and is considered the lingua franca of around 50 million people living in the countries along the east coast of Africa.The ethnic groups that make up the Eastern Bantu include the Xhosa, Zulu, Kikuyu, and Shona peoples. The Western Bantu include the Herero and Tonga peoples.
populations increases put pressure on agriculture
the spread of Bantu languages throught Africa
Bantu is a group of south and central African native languages. There are about 400 groups of people sharing a Bantu language. In southern Africa one language example is Zulu, in central Africa the language example is Shono, in eastern Africa the language example is Baganda
The way Bantu families were organized was extended families
The Bantu migration covered a large expanse of the African government of the African continents, this fact makes it an important migration.
Drought and famine are two reasons for Bantu migration
Two thousand years ago, the Bantu migration was the most massive and important migration since the original humans migrated out of Africa to the rest of the world. Aside from bringing massive population growth, the Bantu brought skills with them that positively impacted the development of the area like metal weaponry, land cultivation and animal husbandry.
The Bantu migrations were closely related to agriculture and iron-working in a continuous reciprocal process.
No, the Bantu migration was not connected to bananas in any way
The Bantu migrations started around 2000 B.C.E and lasted for a few hundred years. About 300-400 years. *Technically speaking The african empires that emerged like Mali and etc are part of the bantu migration.
The main drivers of the Bantu migration from West Africa to the east and south were likely population pressure, competition for resources, and the search for new land for settlement and cultivation. This migration resulted in the spread of Bantu languages and agricultural techniques across sub-Saharan Africa.
The migration of the Bantu speakers affected culture in the areas of central and southern Africa in a huge way. Some of the activities like farming were introduced and the Bantu language and other cultural values also spread rapidly.
The Bantu people used their knowledge of iron metallurgy to make tools and weapons, which helped them in their agricultural practices and allowed them to expand their territories through migration across Africa. Iron tools made farming more efficient and productive, supporting the population growth and the spread of Bantu languages and cultures.
