The San-Bushmen of the Kalahari

Some scientists are calling the San-Bushmen of the Kalahari the "Genetic Adam". This means that the San could be the tribe, from which all humans on earth could trace their genetic heritage. There is, so far, no proof for this theory. However, we have genetic evidence which dates back for more than 25.000 years.

Being the "Genetic Adam" or not, the San-Bushmen are considered the oldest culture in the world. They were first modern human beings in southern Africa. We have archaeological finds, dating back 25.000 years. Tools from the Stone-Age and rock paintings in the caves of the Tsodilo-Hills in the eastern Kalahari.

The San-Bushmen always have been hunter-gatherers and they are until today. They are living on roots and plants and occasionally they are hunting some wildlife. However, more than 80 % of their diet is vegetarian. They are constantly moving around, searching for food and water. During the night they are building shelters out of branches and grass.

Today the governments of the countries sharing the Kalahari ,are counting all in all about 82.000 bushmen. Although, this figure includes all groups and tribes. The estimation for the original San is somewhere at 3000. These are living in the traditional groups of 10 - 15 people. Each member of the group is specialized in a certain task and has the sole responsibility.

In 1980 the San-Bushmen reached some quick international fame, when one of the tribe named N!xau, was the lead actor in the movie "The Gods must be crazy". A comedy, where an empty Coke-bottle creates havoc amongst the San, and N!xau gets the task to bring it back into modern civilization.

Unfortunately today, there is some truth behind the comedy. After decades of dislocation by the governments, for tourism and diamond mining, these ancient people are threatened by our modern world and they are at the brink of extinction. We should do our utmost, to guarantee the survival of the ancestors of mankind.

The Kalahari Geography & Climate

The Kalahari is the 4.th biggest desert on Earth. She is covering, with more than 900.000 square kilometers (or 363.000 square miles), most of Botswana and parts of Namibia and South-Africa.

The Kalahari is at the southern part of Africa and she is a mixture of plateau and desert. Some animals and plants are exclusively living here, because there actually is some rainfall, usually between 10 and 20 cm annually. This allows these animals and plants to survive even in this harsh region of our planet. Actually, some parts of the Kalahari are more semi-desert than a classical desert. Especially the parts in South-Africa offer excellent grazing after good rains.

The temperatures in the summer are usually between 20 and 40 degrees Celsius. In winter, on cold days, the temperature on cold days can drop to an below-zero average.

Surrounding the Kalahari is the Kalahari Basin. This covers more than 2,5 mio. square kilometers and reaches even into Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The only permanent river, the Okavango, forms a Delta and the marshes in this Delta are amongst the most interesting regions of the Earth, concerning the Wildlife.

Nowadays, although it is still a hostile and rough environment, the Kalahari and the Kalahari Basin, are frequently visited by tourists. Safari-Tourism is one of the main income producers, next to diamonds and sand.

Check before buying!

What you MUST check before buying Hoodia:

Check the certificates:

Make certain you are buying Hoodia Gordonii, which is certified. Always ask your supplier, before the purchase, if he can provide certificates of authenticity. And make sure, these certificates are issued by an independent laboratory. Otherwise you might be buying Hoodia Gordonii, which is illegally harvested, badly processed or full of additives.

Check the origin:

Only buy Hoodia from the Kalahari in South Africa! The evidence is growing and growing that only Hoodia harvested in the Kalahari, contains the molecule P57, which is responsible for the suppressing of your appetite. Therefore, if buying Hoodia Gordonii, insist on Kalahari Hoodia!

Check the content:

The quality of the material within the plant is quite severe. The skin, which can account for up to 40 % of the weight of the plant, obviously, is lesser quality, than the actual flesh, or stem, of the cactus. Some suppliers process the whole plant, others only the flesh. Therefore, when buying Hoodia, make sure you buy Hoodia supplements, which are made only of the flesh not the whole plant.

Check the family:

When buying Hoodia, make sure you are buying Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is just the name for a group of plants, 13 different ones, to be precise. And out of this family, only Hoodia Gordonii, contains enough of the appetite suppressant. Many companies and many people are jumping the “Hoodia Bandwagon”. But the only “wagon” worth using is the Gordonii.

Check the Royalties:

The harvesting and selling of the Hoodia plant is strictly regulated and controlled. The royalties are going back to the San-People, the bushmen, which are using Hoodia Gordonii since ages and without which, we still would not know anything about the positive effects. So please make sure, when buying Hoodia Gordonii, that you buy official Hoodia Gordonii.

On a finishing note:

Hoodia Gordonii is certainly the number one appetite suppressant nowadays and one of the easiest to use diet supplements. If you follow the 6 easy checks, when buying Hoodia Gordonii, you will lose your overweight and start a new life.
