•Gur-Adamawa speakers stretch from Burkina Faso to central Chad
•The extension of Ubangian languages reaches into southern Sudan
•Gur-Adamawa is
highly internally divided and there are no convincing proposals for reconstructions of agriculture
•These languages are not distributed along rivers, so this is an open savannah-based expansion of foragers perhaps 6-8000 years ago
•They are likely to have bows and arrows and an array of microlithic technology
•A continuous
band of settlement was broken up by the northwards expansion of Benue-Congo and then later Chadic languages
