What Can a Multi-agent System Tell Us About the Bantu Expansion 3,000 Years Ago?

The Bantu expansion toward Southern and Eastern Africa is a complex and long-term phenomenon. Migrations occurred along different paths, often likely to bypass the rainforest, which was not suitable for Bantu’s farming. At the same time, diverse groups of forest foragers lived in the forest. It is established that Bantu and forest foragers came to meet, but how they interacted and how it impacted the Bantu migrations remain open questions.
