Definition: The Bushmen is a collective term for a modern cultural group in subsaharan Africa, primarily the Kalahari Desert. They are often consulted in ethnoarchaeological studies, because they still maintain a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, lucky them. Also called San or Basarwa, the Bushmen don't use a collective term for themselves.
