Question

The !kung people of southern africa are an example what kind of society?

Answer 1

The ¡Kung San is a society of hunters and gatherers of Africa, which survives in several African countries (Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa), whose society and culture are similar to the Eskimos, where women have a role very important because they are the harvesters of fruits, roots, while men hunt with arrows to obtain meat. Riches are collective because they depend a lot on each other. The ¡Kung consider the Earth, the first mother of all the inhabitants of the tribe, and gender roles are not immutable, being able to hunt women and collect men.
