The San tribe has been living in South Africa for at least 30,000 years and they are not only the oldest African tribe but also the oldest race in the world. The San have more diverse and distinct DNA than any other indigenous African group.
The San are descendants of early Stone Age ancestors. Clans and loosely connected family groups followed seasonal game migrations between the mountain range and the coast. They made their homes in caves, under rock piles or in temporary shelters. Although their knowledge of flora and fauna was vast, these nomadic peoples did not domesticate animals or grow crops. The San have classified thousands of plants and their uses, from nutritional to medicinal, mystical to recreational and deadly. San men have a formidable reputation as trackers and hunters.

The San have no formal authority figure or chief, but govern themselves by group consensus. Disputes are resolved through lengthy discussions where everyone has the opportunity to have their say until an agreement is reached. Certain individuals may attain leadership in specific fields, such as hunting or healing rituals, but they cannot attain general positions. influence or power. This was very confusing when the white colonists tried to make treaties with the San. Leadership among the San is reserved for those who have lived in the group for a long time, are of respectable age, and of good character.
The San are excellent hunters. Although they do some trapping, the best method of hunting is the bow and arrow. The San arrow does not kill the animal immediately. It is a deadly p.oison which eventually causes de.ath. In the case of smaller antelopes such as the Duiker or Steenbok, several hours may elapse before de.ath.
The San belief system generally observes the dominance of one powerful deity while recognizing the presence of lesser deities with their wives and children. The souls of the dead are also honored. Among some San, tilling the soil is believed to be against the world order established by God.
San Nimal eats both vegetables. Their food choices range from antelope, zebra, porcupine, wild rabbit, lion, giraffe, fish, insects, turtles, snakes, hyenas, eggs and wild honey. The meat is boiled or roasted over a fire.
