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

[QUOTE]Originally posted by astenb: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] "Some studies indicate the Bantu was triggered by invaders into the African continent." THE NIGER- CONGO HYPOTHESIS The Niger-Congo hypothesis developed by Joseph Greenberg on Bantu languages state that the Bantu originated in West Africa, the Cameroon, and migrated across the the Congo basin into Southern and East Africa. Guthrie on the other hand did not commit himself but said that the Bantu dispersal lies within an elliptical area towards the [b]centre, [/b]in the woodland region of Katanga. The Niger-Congo hypothesis needs to be re-examined further as one has to take into account oral traditions from groups of present day [b]Kenyan Bantu elders who recall a southerly migration from Egypt. [/b] The following sources of accounts of migrations of some of the Bantu speakers in Kenya are taken from: i) Kenya an official handbook ii) Story of Africa from earliest times, Book one, A.J Willis iii) Longman GHC, E.S Atieno Odhimbo, John N. B. N. I Were Almost all the Bantu people living in Kenya speak of a[b] migration from up North.[/b] The people of Marachi location are known to have come from Elgon although other clans of the same group came from Egypt. They came in canoes on the River Nile as far as Juja, Uganda and later moved eastward into lake Victoria. They changed course until Asembo and separated with the Luo who walked along the lake shore but the rest crossed into South Nyanza. They then turned northwards and reached Butere and then moved on to Luanda and to Ekhomo. The Luo people were behind them right from Egypt. [b]The people of Samia location came from Egypt on foot.[/b] The Abakhekhe clan too originated from Egypt on foot. The Abachoni clan originally came from Egypt on foot. The people of Bukusu originally came from Egypt in canoes. Possible migration routes of Bantu from Central Sudan [/qb][/QUOTE]Zulu also say that came from Up North [Egypt] and who can begin to speak of populations in the Bulge of West Africa who say they migrated from Sudan.
