Did the Bantu expansion replace all sub-Saharan populations? And whence the Nilotes?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] Hunter-gatherer groups rarely generally form extensive urbanized or heavily cohesive large communities, and so, it is no mystery that agriculturalists like spreading Bantu-speaking groups would eventually overwhelm them in numbers where said migrants sought settlement. A "replacement" suggests that these groups were essentially demised out of their existence, which is misleading, since hunter-gatherer groups and traditional communities of respective regions continue to reside in territories largely in central, eastern and southern African regions. As I said, the pygmies, the San "bushmen", the sedentary Sandawe, etc, have not been replaced. Some of these groups either formed their own isolated or semi-isolated communities, or simply integrated into the larger Bantu-speaking populations. In fact, European invaders had done more than any Africans could have, to wipe out some and/or the other of the said 'traditional' hunter-gatherer and sedentary inhabitants loosely dispersed across large swaths of territory that would eventually come under Bantu-speaking agricultural communities.
