The Native Races of South Africa: A History of the Intrusion of the Hottentots and Bantu into the Hunting Grounds of the Bushmen, the Aborigines of the Country

Descripción

Reprint of the ethnographic classic, number 167 of 750 printed; the original, posthumously published in 1905, was long considered the definitive work on the subject. Stow emigrated to South Africa as a young man in 1843 and worked in several fields, but his great interest was geology. Exploring the lands of the Bushmen, he recorded much of the rock art in their caves & shelters, and developed the theory, expressed here, that the Bushmen were the ancient inhabitants of the land and the Hottentot & Bantu peoples relative newcomers.
