Iets oor die Boesmankultuur / 'n Lesing gehou voor die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie op Stellenbosch, Januarie 1920, en gedruk op las van die Akademie

The author offers a preliminary ethnographic report on Bushman culture, synthesizing travellers' accounts and archaeological evidence—notably rock art—to consider origins and antiquity. The lecture systematically surveys subsistence, social organization, customs, personal names, intergroup relations, moral judgments, and the effects of contact and decline, while outlining language, geographic knowledge, sciences such as medicine and botany, and expressive practices including music, dance, poetry, and visual art. The treatment is observational and tentative, aims to correct misconceptions in the published record, and calls for further, more detailed research.
