Location Setting
i. Geographical Location: ii. Physical Descriptions: The San Bushmen live in many different parts of Africa. Some parts of this tribe live in Botswana, the Kalahari, Namibia, and the rest of the Southern Africa. The Kalahari is described as closely resembling the terrain of Australian deserts.
Physical Setting
i. Biomes Ecology: The Kalahari is a sandy, savannah land of South Africa that extends 900,000 square kilometers, covering most of Botswana, Namibia, and Southern Africa. ii. Climate, Precipitation, Temperature, Natural Resources: The savannah is extremely hot in the summer and there is very little, if any, rainfall for long periods of time during this season. Although the initial land has very low precipitation and …show more content…
They live in the Kalahari, which means they experience extremely hot summers, which are dry, during which it is hard to find water. The San have drilled reeds into the ground for water underneath, but their main source would be the tsamma melon, a fruit that provides the tribesmen with drinking water, while the leaves are usually eaten as vegetables. The seeds of the melon also provide them with the oils and proteins that they need. The men of the San hunt while the women forage; the eland is thought to be the first among animals to the Bushmen. They are sacred and only hunted in times of great celebration. The San are typically nomadic people, but have been suppressed by modern society of Africa, trying to force them to conform to their ways. In some circumstances, they have even been forced to give up foraging, one of their main ways to gather food. Large cats are ever present in the Kalahari Desert, the cheetah, leopard, and lions. They also have elephants and giraffes. The Kalahari also contains the Kiwano fruit and acacia trees.
Human Environment Interaction
The San are well known for their large derrières, which contains much fat, which collects in one place. The adaption is helpful when it comes to bad hunting days or bad foraging. It helps their bodies because even if they go days without much food, they won't die. Than also modify the environment to help them gain some usefulness out of the land. The Bushmen were introduced into agriculture a few hundred years past by the Bantu. They have domesticated cattle and sheep. The San heavily rely on the tsamma fruit to provide them with water during the extreme dry
