I know the term refers more to a phenotype than anything else, but over the last couple of days I’ve been mulling the idea over in my head. IOTL, the “Khoisan” peoples were the original inhabitants of South Africa before the Bantu Expansion, but most of them spent their entire history as hunter-gatherers, while the most northerly groups in East Africa seem to have adopted pastoralism from other groups.

Is a native development of agriculture feasible? If so, when is the best time for this agriculture to be developed and, which crops would be involved?
