Here's an amazing (to me) animation of human migrations over the last 160,000 years. I knew the general outlines, but these details are very interesting:

I didn't know either of those, or that people from sub-Saharan African had a different common ancestor from everyone else. Somehow I'm thinking that the !Xung (sp?) may be the real descendants of that branch, and that most Africans nowadays come from a later migration from people who originally went north and east (though that's not what the write-up suggested). I know there were huge Bantu migrations in historical times.

I think I saw a TV program on public TV which supported your idea that the bushmen and the like were the original stock and that the Bantu among others were decendents later in the family human tree.
