San shelters are semicircular structures of branches, twigs, and grass; their equipment is portable, their possessions few and light.
The San have a rich folklore, are skilled in drawing, and have a remarkably complex language characterized by the use of click sounds, related to that of the Khoikhoi.
The San (or Bushmen) were the original inhabitants of South Africa, appearing there about 30 000 years ago, but were displaced westward from the lush mountains in the east toward the dryer Kalahari desert by the more powerful Zulu and Xhosa tribes who came from the north.
