» Linguistic evidence suggests the Bantu people have emigrated into former Khoisan ranges and displaced them. Bantu populations used a distinct suite of crops suited to tropical Africa , including cassava and yams. This farming culture is able to support more persons per unit area than hunter-gatherers.

Their primary weapons historically were bows and stabbing spears with shields. Ethiopia  had a distinct, ancient culture with an intermittent history of contact with Eurasia after the diaspora of hominids out of Africa . It preserved a unique language, culture and crop system. The crop system is adapted to the dry northern highlands and does not partake of any other area's crops. The most famous member of this crop system is coffee, but one of the more useful plants is sorghum, a dry-land grain. Ancient cultures also existed all along the Nile, and in modern-day Ghana.
