Tag: Causes of the Bantu Migrations

The Bantu were involved  in a plethora of economic activities.They were miners ,smelters and black smiths in various metals .They made jewellery,tools and weapons for the Local and Internal trade.  Metals enabled the Bantu to domesticate Sudanese cereals like millet and sorghum,  sweet potatoes,  pumpkins, gourds,  nuts and cow peas.

Bantu-speaking people originated from North Africa and for various economic, social, and political reasons migrated in masses from the Northern plains of the Mediterranean,  leaving only pockets of some mostly in Mauritania,  Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.  Even Egypt has a sizeable population of the Bantu Society with a Hermite and Negroid darker brown skin pigment.
