What is the name of the African tribe that lives in grasshouses and lives in the Savannah? ?

I think it starts with a B and they talk with clicks. They were the tribe in the movie "The Gods Must be Crazy"

What is the name of the African tribe that lives in grasshouses and lives in the Savannah? ?
The Kalahari Bushmen





Also known as the Koi - San people from Southern Africa





The Bushmen, San, Sho, Basarwa, 莾Kung or Khwe are indigenous people of southern Africa that spans most areas of South Africa, Zimbabwe , Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. They were traditionally hunter-gatherers, part of the Khoisan group and are related to the traditionally pastoral Khoikhoi. Starting in the 1950s, through the 1990s, they switched to farming.





Genetic evidence suggests they are one of the oldest, if not the oldest, peoples in the world 鈥?a "genetic Adam" according to Spencer Wells, from which all humans can ultimately trace their genetic heritage.





More information on the movie:





The 1980 comedy movie The Gods Must Be Crazy portrays a Kalahari Bushman tribe's first encounter with an artifact from the outside world (a Coke bottle). In 1969, the director of this movie, Jamie Uys, had directed Lost in the Desert, in which a small boy stranded in the desert encounters a group of wandering Bushmen before, and is helped by them and then abandoned due to a misunderstanding created by the lack of a common language and culture.








PS Iove that movie. it is an all time classic!!
