Discovering the isolation of the people in the 100 thousand years

Living in South Africa, Khoisan is the oldest ethnic tribe on the planet. This is the conclusion of Swedish scientists, published in Science.

According to scientists, Khoisan was isolated from the common community of mankind 100 thousand years ago, ie at the beginning of the great human migration from Africa to other continents.

Currently, Khoisan language is still used by hunters of the Bushmen ethnic group and nomadic herdsmen of the Hottentots. These are ethnic groups living in the territory of the Republic of South Africa and other countries in southern Africa. Why is Khoisan language different from the dialects of neighboring tribes? This is still considered one of the most interesting puzzles of human history.

The Swedish group of geneticists led by Karas Shlebush of Upsala University gave a light on how to interpret the puzzle by analyzing Khoisan's genome and comparing it to the DNA of many tribes currently living in Africa as well as Africans living on other continents. According to the researchers, only a small part of the Khoisan people protect their ancient roots, while most have lost their 'genetic identity cards' .

Khorotsie Novosti newspaper (Russia) gave detailed information of the study. Scientists said that as soon as the Hottentots and Bushmen DNA analysis data were added to the "common genetic map of humanity" , the search for the homeland of the first people left Africa. To migrate to Europe and the Middle East becomes extremely complicated.

Because Khoisan's genome structure is fundamentally different from the genes of other peoples on Earth, it is possible to conclude reliably that modern humans have some ancestral ancestors from money tribes. different history.
