Question

The __ spread troughout southern Africa below the equator during the classical era. A. Assyrian Empire

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Bantu Peoples

Explanation:

During the classical era, the Bantu peoples started to migrate from their homeland in the eastern part of Western Africa. The growing population needed more resources, and the Bantu tribes started to move towards areas that provided more resources, both for them and for raising cattle. Since on the north it was the Sahel and Sahara, the Bantu peoples moved south, below the equator. This part of Africa was largely dominated by savanna, which had an abundance of animals for hunting, as well as vast grasslands for the cattle to graze. Little by little, the Bantu peoples were taking over more and more territory, becoming gradually the largest ethnic group in Africa, and managing to reach the southernmost and easternmost coastlines of the continent.
