"Reviving Lost Human Groups: Scientists Rediscover Forgotten Communities"

Scientists have rediscovered human populations in southern Africa's Namib Desert that were thought to have disappeared decades ago. The genetic identity of these groups has been maintained, even after the loss of their native languages. The researchers found descendants of the Kwepe group, who used to speak Kwadi, a click language related to Khoe languages spoken across Southern Africa. The study reveals the migrations of the region's populations, with Khoe-Kwadi speakers dispersing around 2,000 years ago. This rediscovery fills a missing piece in the history of humanity and sheds light on the genetic diversity and migration patterns of southern African populations.
