Some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, the emergence of farming marked a major turning point in African history. Mastering this new skill enabled Bantu speakers, previously hunter-gatherers living in the region between Cameroon and Nigeria, to gradually leave their homeland and spread to new areas. This was the start of a millennia-long journey that resulted in these populations settling throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Some of the topics that will be explored include:- Who are Bantus? Who are Africans in general? Where did Bantus come from? Why did they migrate? Destination Bantu Empires Bantu Influence in Africa Bantu Influence around the world
