Who are the Bantu peoples of Africa, and how did they permanently change the face of Africa in the past? Today, we're going to discuss the history of the Bantu expansion, and the many empires and modern nations of Africa and beyond that are descended from these peoples.
Be sure to share your thoughts on the Bantu peoples and their expansion throughout the continent, as well as the other indigenous peoples of Africa such as the Khoisan, Nilotes and Pygmies. Thanks for watching!

I am a Bantu. A Kikuyu from Kenya. When I was a child, I could hear a Congolese musician Kanda Bongo man's song "Tika kolela" and thought he was saying "Tiga korera" which is in Kikuyu. Surprisingly, it has the same meaning. "Stop crying". That's when I realized how similar we are as Bantus.

I'm from Rwanda and I am always amazed when I meet Shona, Kikuyu, Zulu or Douala people; our language have many similar words (Ingwe>lion/tiger, Inyama>meat, Imvura>Rain, Zuba>Sun, Mwana>Child, Gukama>milk a cow... We also share lots of names like Shaka, Mugabe, Musare, Ngoma, Ngali, Muthoni, Nyagura etc. Sometimes I play Richard Bona's music and can easily sing along to his songs/lyrics. We should take these colonial borders down, we are ONE people!

My dad and mum are from Ngolo- Batanga/ Ilondo Ngolo, one of the oldest Bantu tribes in Cameroon, legend has it that the Bantu migration started from that region, bordering Nigeria and Cameroon close to the bight of Biafra. My dad understands Swahili to an extent and he understands Lingala perfectly. Bakundu, douala, bekoko, bafaw etc is just a broken down language of the Oroko clan in Cameroon. About the Bantus in the diaspora, people actually don't know that the oldest slave trade fort in West Africa is in Cameroon, it's somewhere around Bimbia, a buried history by both French and Britain. In every African diapora whose leanage dates back to the transatlantic slave trade, they'll have a percentage of cameroon.

Its like how Spaniards and Italians can still understand each other, sorta, kinda, if they speak really slowly and clearly. In fact, english, spanish, french, and italian share a lot of words, depending on who conquered whom and when. I couldn't necessarily hold a conversation with a Frenchman, but I could probably say 'yes' or 'no'. Cause its all the same words. Bantus were the African version of Romans and Greeks.

I think you have to first agree on what you mean by diversity or level of diversity. Is it skin color, nose/face shape, height, language, cradleland or haplogroups? Otherwise, there are only two: Sub-Saharan Africans (Sub-Sahara proper + Horn of Africa) and North Africans. Morphologically, even excluding skin tone, I think there is a lot of variation among Sub-Saharan Africans. Even the Bantu don't look alike at all in the vast areas they occupy and I think the wide nose is overstated. The Nilotes and Chadic groups have as many appearances as the number of groups and cannot be described as having wide noses. The pygmies are often lumped together as one even though they are very diverse in their own way across much of Central Africa. I guess the Khoi-San too.

im a muntu (singular for bantu) from southern africa, loved this. by the way, as much as the term bantu is coined from linguistic similarities among bantu ethnic groups where "NTU" is the common factor in these languages, the word "bantu" actually means "people" with "umuntu" meaning "a person", these 2 words may slightly vary from in spelling and pronunciation from dialect to dialect eg Motu or mutu or batu etc but it means the same thing

Bantu doesnt mean people. This probably the most inaccurate statement i always come across. So i will correct you: Ntu means spirit. There is no word for people in most bantu language. People or person is a european term you don't find it in all cultures. NTU means spirits our ancestors referred to eachother as spirit not as person or people. We are spirits bantu. Ntu - is the spirit, mu-ntu - is i the spirit . Ba Ntu - is we the spirit. Not sure if you believe in it. But Ntu did not originated in Cameroon i am not where they get there information from. And ntu is not 3000 years old it predates adam and eve

I'm Bantu from Kenya. Muntu just means person in our language. Also BAntu hail from various sections of central africa. Also Why do white men insist on retelling our history. The nilotes are jus that, people around the Nile. They call themselves the Nubi as is the river and their God was Anubis, before advent of Islam n Chrisitianity. African History, is told through written records, but via dirges and songs sang during traditional ceremonies such as Initiation. Your not a native if you have to be taught your culture via external sources. you would know them by heart as its passed down via everyday living.

This video was timely for me, because I have been binge watch YT videos of the people located in Mexico and Central America giving their ancestry dna results. To my surprise the Bantu genome was listed in their dna results. I knew many had North African ancestors, but the Bantu dna trait was something new being discovered. I hadn’t heard of these people prior to hearing their dna results, which piqued my curiosity. Now, thankfully this video filled in the gap of knowledge lacking about a group of people who played a big role in racial diversity here in the Americas other than the usual suspects.

R M The reason why many Africans and particularly Africans throughout the Diaspora call themselves black is that the have no true knowledge of their ancestors identity in Africa via the enslavement of their ancestors for centuries in the so called New World and they are still mentally shackled to the people who classify themselves as “white”. Clearly black people are the creation of “white” people; in other words, black people are the illegitimate “children” of so called “white” people.

I think Caucasoid should work on their own history as to Who Were Caucasoid? Where did they originate? How did they come into existence, Where and why did they expand? because as far as history and reality are concerned, the Caucasoid is only about 4000 years old. They must leave our history alone because we know exactly who we are.

I’ve always found the Bantus, their history & languages fascinating. Growing up in South Africa during Apartheid, we were taught that the Bantus only arrived in that area of Southern Africa when Europeans did, in an effort to lessen their claim to the land. Another aspect of Bantu history that would be fascinating as a topic is the mass exodus of people from the east coast of South Africa, then known as Zululand. When Shaka was building the Zulus into a powerful & warlike tribe, millions of people from other tribes, legitimately fearing extermination or assimilation, fled into the central & northern parts of South Africa & Zimbabwe. It was an incredibly tragic episode but had a significant impact on the region. If I remember correctly, it was called the “Mafekane”. Please consider making a video about this episode. Thanks for your outstanding videos.

It called Mfecane. Most of the history of Mfecane is false. You will get told more than a million people died. Yet the zulu tribe was less than 4 million. If u look deeply into it to check which tribe died you find nothing. MFECANE was just a migration of people who didn't view Shaka Zulu as their king so they left. One of them was ZWIDE who was the leader of the Ndwandwe. The second one was Mzilikazi wakwa Khumalo who was Shaka general. He is the one that settled in Zimbabwe and took a new tribal name Ndebele. Shaka did attack Faku, the king of the Mpondo people but there was never a war instead they left port shepstone and settled in eastern cape. He also attacked the king of the Sesotho people Moshoeshoe they was never a war instead they saved by some big rocks in some mountains that they were able to push to kill the invaders and some migrated to Zambia and took a tribal name Lozi (sesotho). The death of Mfecane were less than a million

@Rocky Fletch thats generally accepted history told by whites, the xhosa had long settled before the white came, infact there was a time when xhosa people were not known as the xhosa but the nguni. they assimilated into khoi san land when they moved south as you said hence they adopted the xhosa language (which is khoi and nguni) and intermarried . they clearly wouldnt have formed such relations in a short space of time. most importantly the nguni/xhosa didnt conquer the khoi san as the xhosa assimilated into khoi language and culture.

lots of genocides, various Khoi and San related lineages were completely wiped out, races that were unique and had been genetically isolated for over two hundred thousand years. If it wasn't for the Bantu expansion we would have a lot more different kinds of humans around today, many different Pygmy and Pygmy related groups as well.

I think that your videos are wonderful and so informative. One thing, however, is that the Khoi and the San are distinctly different peoples. They have been linked together for a long time, but the San are physically different from the Khoi, and are mostly hunter-gatherers. The Khoi are hearders and pastoral peoples. They both have languages that have an inordinate amount of click sounds, which did lump them together. Modern DNA studies have shown that they are quite different populations.

Have you tried the Swahili course on Duolingo? It's free and as simple as installing the app on your phone. I suggest you start with it. And if you want you could also come over to our Swahili Discord server where we help each other with everything regarding the Swahili language. We have beginners to advanced and native speakers. If you're interested then come over using the invite link discord.gg/Z4rtjKH to join. Karibu!

As a Zulu person I just want to say that colonization is the worst thing that has ever happened to Africa. We still haven't recovered from it and I don't think we ever will. Our culture history and languages are being supressed and destroyed in favour of European narratives. It breaks my heart. I know all my Africans can feel me.
