South and Southeast African groups like the Zulus, Xhosa, Shona, Swahili, Kikuyu, etc have significant West African like admixture and haplogroups. So I don't know about the argument of Bantu's "hardly reaching those areas." Now I do agree that the population "displacement" is a myth. I think you really mean that. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, these specific groups do but that doesn't mean every Bantu speaking group has significant West African admixture, hence while certain populations show descent not every Bantu speaking population does. Pygmies speak Bantu languages yet they are genetically more distant. [/qb][/QUOTE]Pygmies are NOT a good example(no offense to you) as everyone KNOWS that they are a indigenous group to Central Africa who were [b]absorbed[/b] by Bantus. And thus they speak a Bantu language. Again from what I'm seeing all the [b]major[/b] ethnic groups from very populated south/southeast African countries like South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibian, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Uganda show strong [i]"West African like"[/i] admixture with slight non-Bantu admixture. Which is why again I asked how much of an "exaggeration" do you mean the Bantu migration was. Also in my opinion you really can not compare the Bantu migration to the Roman occupation of Europe. As Roman citizens did not really settle non-Italian areas in large numbers, but they were mostly used as Roman military outposts. Of course there are exceptions like London, but still the Britons outnumbered the Romans. The Bantus not only [b]settled[/b] Southern and Southeast Africa especially when it came to needed land for agriculture but they [b]outnumbered[/b] the native populations there. Like I said I think what you are saying actually disproves that Bantus replaced native populations when they really didn't. [/QB][/QUOTE]
