Pygmy 1500 BC Bantu
What group of people were living in the area that would become the Congo prior to the arrival of Bantu tribes? When did Bantu tribes arrive in the area formerly populated by the Pygmy people? The Bakongo were a group derived from which tribes?
Bantu-speaking peoples who founded tribes during the Bantu expansions largely displaced and absorbed the earliest inhabitants of the region, the Pygmy people, about 1500 BC. The Bakongo, a Bantu ethnic group that also occupied parts of present-day Angola, Gabon, and Democratic Republic of the Congo, formed the basis for ethnic affinities and rivalries among those countries. Several Bantu kingdoms—notably those of the Kongo, the Loango, and the Teke—built trade links leading into the Congo River basin.
