However, I can answer questions 3.1 and 3.2 based on general historical knowledge about the first African farmers, the San, and the Khoikhoi.) 3.1 In which ways were the lifestyle of the first African farmers different to the one of the San? The first African farmers were sedentary, living in permanent villages. They practiced crop cultivation (growing crops like sorghum and millet) and kept livestock (cattle, sheep, and goats). They also used iron tools for farming and other tasks. In contrast, the San were nomadic hunter-gatherers, constantly moving to find wild food sources and did not cultivate crops or keep domesticated animals. 3.2 In which way were the lifestyle of this first African farmers different to the one of the Khoikhoi? The first African farmers were sedentary and relied on both crop cultivation and livestock farming. The Khoikhoi, on the other hand, were primarily pastoralists, meaning their lifestyle revolved around herding livestock (cattle, sheep, and goats). While they were also semi-nomadic, moving their herds to find grazing, they generally did not practice crop cultivation like the first African farmers.
