The Khoisan, commonly referred to as Bushmen, are a group of peoples that includes the Khoi Khoi, San, Ovahimba, Kxoe, Kung, and Hottentots. They are the first known settlers of southern Africa, as indicated by their prehistoric rock-paintings. The Khoisan are smaller and lighter-skinned than the Bantu, whose southward migration pushed the smaller race into the interior deserts. The few Khoisan who are left live on the fringes of society.
