The Bushmen live in Africa. I would hardly call that environment abundant with a friendly climate.
- learc83 15y agoIt is very abundant and has a very friendly climate relative to a great deal of the planet. By friendly climate, I don't mean pleasant 72 degrees year round. I mean you don't have to spend all summer chopping wood, and preserving food so you can survive through the winter, which is a vast swath of the planet.
- nikatwork 15y agoWikipedia suggests the Bushmen need to store nuts for the winter, and during early spring the only available food is game (all the plants are dead). But great point about not having to deal with snow.
- philwelch 15y agoAfrica is a huge continent. It has almost every climate and environment available on earth. The other thing Africa has is a collection of populations who have lived in their respective parts of Africa for millennia. So while the environment the Bushmen lived in may have been relatively friendly to them, it wouldn't be so friendly to a Kenyan or Egyptian, or a Serb, or a Cherokee.
