A much less believable point of difference than some but hear me out.

Around 10000 years ago, a geological event occured which pushed Southern Africa (Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique) upwards. This coincided with a massive drying of that portion of the continent.

What if this geological event had never occured? Prior to this there were lots of rivers which are now dried up (called Omuramba); if the event had never occured, this rivers would remain, and there would be a traversable river system connecting the major parts of Southern Africa.

At this point in history, the only people living in this part of the world were the Basarwa (also known as the San or !Kung); but around 800AD, the Bantu speaking tribes began to enter as well.

So, does anyone have any thoughts about this?
