Evidence of Bantu migrations

Let us now look at the evidence to the Bantu migrations that are used to study their movements across different parts of Africa.

Genetics:

By comparing the genes of the people from different areas, anthropologists have been able to trace some groups back to communities in different areas.

Iron-working

Before the coming of Iron Age Bantu-speakers, there is no evidence of iron-working technology to the region.

Language

the languages spoken in eastern, central and southern Africa are very similar to the languages originally spoken in Western Africa. There are about 450 known Bantu languages that reflect similarities, including kikuyu in the east and Setswana in the south.

Pottery

The technology for clay pottery in eastern and southern Africa is very similar to that of West Africa. Decorations with grooves and patterns are very similar. Only related groups of people use similar styles and decorations.
