"the Bushmen had great respect for the land, and their lifestyle had low environmental impact" -- a certain awe of nature is common for hunter gatherers but a low environmental impact is not a natural result of this. In america where the wildlife was not evolved alongside humans hunther gatherers wiped out a lot of the indigenous species in a relatively short time.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.177.138.109 (talk) 11:51, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Needs edit
The summary is too short and is not an adequate representation of what the article talks about. There are no citations for linked references and some of the points are not referenced at all. The article itself needs some expansion and more detail concerning geography, ages after the paleolithic, conflict, religion, and so on. Pictures and maps would also help.

Why is generally Khoisan taken as indigenous in South Africa
Khoisan a combination of San people said to be the first nation and Khoikhoi claimed to be the 1st expansion of the 1st century CE here them taken as indigenous, but those of another ancient migration are laxly taken as so like the theorized Bantu expansion in the 3rd century CE. It really baffles reason as to being ulterior motives than sense to writing about these people, it's as if to make Bantu speakers non-Africans of people who just rained from the sky as to cause an unwarrantable satisfaction to the current situations of the 21st century in South Africa between the Indigenous populace and non-indigenous minorities, at the cost of the Indigenous interests.
