  1. c. 1001 BCE The Bantu Expansion Written in the Genes contested 1 cit. Bantu-speaking farmers began spreading out of a homeland near the Nigeria-Cameroon border and carried a shared ancestry signal across a huge stretch of Africa. A 2023 study in Nature traced this from more than 1,500 Bantu speakers plus ancient genomes and confirmed a single deep origin for the language family's speakers. The DNA matches the linguistic map of Bantu languages closely. The exact start date and the routes east and south are still debated, so the timing is best treated as approximate. science / society ●●●●
