Question

About 40,000 and 10,000 years ago, man was leading life of a 'hunter-gatherer' represented by present day

• A. Bushmen of Kalahari desert
• B. Caucasians
• C. Americans
• D. Asians

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bushmen of Kalahari desert

The San people also known as Bushmen or Basarwa all considered pejorative to some degree are members of various indigenous hunter-gatherer people of Southern Africa, whose territories span Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. There is a significant linguistic difference between the northern people living between the Okavango River in Botswana and Etosha National Park in northwestern Namibia, extending up into southern Angola, the central people of most of Namibia and Botswana, extending into Zambia and Zimbabwe and the southern people in the central Kalahari towards the Molopo River, who are the last remnant of the previously extensive indigenous San of South Africa. So, about 40,000 and 10,000 years ago man was leading life of a 'hunter-gatherer' represented by present day Bushmen of Kalahari desert and not by Caucasians, Asians and Americans.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
