“Capoid - Bushmen, Hottentots; short brown peoples of South Africa”
I never heard of this group.
But it fits in with my thoughts - because I was remembering Rawanda and how the one tribe slaughtered the other and, iirc, the only difference between these groups are a. their appearance and b. their social class (which I suppose might stem - somehow! - from their appearance).
Now I could be mistaken, but that is my recollection. There were no differences of language, religion, etc. It was pretty much just pure, what shall we say, ethnic (?) hatred.
It would probably be almost impossible for a white person to go over there and say, or you are are Hutu and you over there are a Tutsi (excuse any spelling errors, please).
So, you know, I just think it shows that evil lurks in the hearts of men and there isn’t a way to eliminate that you just have to try and control outrageous behavior.
Which was a failure in Rawanda so I can’t say much positive about that.
The "original" inhabitants of most of Africa were short and brown (rather than black) hunter/gatherer types.
They were pushed back and exterminated over most of Africa by Bantu "black" peoples coming out of roughly where Cameroon is today, as well as by taller, "whiter" types from the Northeast. Isolated groups remain, such as the pygmies of Central Africa are still there, surrounded by a sea of Bantu.
The Bantu were farmers and pastoralists rather than hunters. The process by which they moved in and took the land was quite remarkably similar to that by which whites conquered America and Oz. Scholarly discussion of this process, however, generally used neutral terms such as "migration," rather than the judgmental terms such as "invasion" and "conquest" used to describe the same process by Europeans. It is pretty doubtful the "Capoids" enjoyed the process any more than the "American Indians" did.
In S. Africa the Capoids were still around as Hottentots simply because the Bantu hadn't got quite all the way down to the Cape by the time the Dutch arrived. They have been pretty much absorbed into the "Cape Colored" group.
The Bushmen continue to roam desert areas, which the Bantus weren't interested in.
