History

Early Migrations And Political Entities

Khoisan hunter-gatherers are the earliest known modern human inhabitants of the region. They were largely replaced by Bantu tribes during Bantu migrations, but a few remain in parts of southern Angola to the present. The Bantu came from the north, probably somewhere near the present-day Republic of Cameroon. When they reached what is now Angola, they encountered Khoisan, Bushmen and other groups less technologically advanced than themselves, who they easily dominated with their superior knowledge of metal working, pottery and agriculture. The establishment of the Bantu took many centuries and gave rise to various groups took different ethnic characteristics.

Meanwhile, Bantu has established a number of political entities ("Kingdoms", "empires"), in most of what is now Angola. The best known of these is the Kingdom of Kongo, which had its center in the northwestern part of Angola contemporary, but contained important regions in the western part of the current Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo and Gabon to the south. It has established trade routes with other trading partners of cities and civilizations up and down the coast in the southwestern and western Africa, and even with the great empire of Zimbabwe Mutapa, but engaged in trade little or no ocean.
