TL;DR: The question of whether foragers are genuine or not was first raised by Fritsch against Passarge's ''revisionism'' in the first ''Bushman debate'' of I906 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The authors examined the history of two San groups, one largely dependent on its Bantuspeaking neighbours and the other substantially autonomous, and found that contact may take many forms, not all of which lead to dependency, abandonment of foraging, or incorporation into "more powerful" social formations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary account of archaeological research on sites of early pottery-using people in the coastal region of the Congo Republic is provided, with particular attention paid to evidence for developing economic and social relations between indigenous foragers and immigrant food producers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the introduction of sheep and cattle to the sub-continent between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago is discussed, and the origins and social dynamics of pastoralism during the Early Iron Age, and relates these developments to the formation of stratified socio-political systems around the fringes of the Kalahari.

TL;DR: It has long been thought that farming and herding were comparatively recent introductions into the Kalahari and that it has been a preserve of foraging "Bushmen" for thousands of years, but fully developed pastoralism and metallurgy are now shown to have been established in the region from A.D. 500.
