The San People
The San people is a cultural tribe living in southern Africa. Scientists conducted a study of this group’s DNA and discovered that the San people may be the oldest population on Earth descending from fourteen different populations. Scientists discovered genetic variation in their DNA, making the San people the most genetically diverse population in the world. The San people relate to the history of creativity because this population illustrates the outcomes of cultural fusion, so to speak, and therefore, represent the creative construction of culture based on traditional and contemporary influences. The development of the San people’s culture also illustrate creativity that takes place when two or more cultures intersect and bring about change or transformation in the traditional culture. The San people’s culture is an amalgamation of earlier cultures, and later on modern influences.
