Waves of Migration
• One wave moved through east Africa• One wave moved through the center of the
continent• Possible 3rd wave- Bantu ancestors of the modern
Swahili mastered sailing technology and made canoes and boats that travel the Zambezi river
• Slow but steady- people are not speeding across the landscape, they are moving slowly, gradually inhabiting areas that were good for farming and raising livestock

Bantu Migration• Rather than arriving all at once like conquerors, the
migrations were sporadic with small groups of people moving from one point to another.
• It is not clear how the Bantu reacted when they came upon existing communities but it is likely that new groups merged with existing groups. Both groups took on parts of each other’s cultures and practices.
• The Bantu were armed with superior weapons and their iron tools allowed them to plant crops and clear forests efficiently.
• Historians believe there was social interaction, intermarrying and trade between Bantu communities.

Evidence• Languages
Languages spoken in some parts of eastern, central and southern Africa show similarities with languages originally spoken in West Africa.
• PotterySimilar pottery technology and decoration in eastern, southern and western Africa.
• IronThere is little or no evidence of iron tools in eastern and southern Africa before the arrival of the Bantu suggesting that new technology was spread by the migrants.

Caution!
• As with most areas of early African history there is a note of caution to be sounded when discussing the Bantu migration. There is even an argument for saying that it did not happen at all.

Caution!
• "The question concerning whether or not the Bantu migration actually occurred will await further research. It's very easy to assume that we know so much. Actually we know so little because very little research has been done. So far there is a huge area in DR Congo, Rwanda and Uganda where no field work has been done and these are areas that the Bantu peoples would have passed through."Dr Chapirukha Kusimba, Field Museum, Chicago.
