Hunter-gatherers do still survive on the African
mainland, though not opposite
the proposed crossing point
Typical
populations are the Kenyan Dahalo, the Hadza and the South Cushitic-speaking peoples such as the Aasax
and the Qwadza
Unfortunately, none of their languages areperfectly described, but it is possible to make comparisons with
unpublished materials
Hadza and Dahalo produced no results at all, but
there are a few promising
comparisons with Southern Cushitic
Southern Cushitic is a group of languages
described by first by Ehret and later (and
much more reliably) by Mous and Kiessling
