Hottentots: a people whose representatives nature awarded with the most massive “fifths” in the world (8 photos)

They do not need to buy a subscription and go to a fitness room, where they conduct grueling workouts in order to later show off their luxurious buttocks, and even insure them, like Kim Kardashian, for millions of dollars.





They do not need to splurge on expensive implants, so as not to bother themselves with strength training, in order to have luxurious buttocks that attract many males.

Mother Nature gave them everything. Like, don't worry, girls.

Their women's beauty standards can be perplexing. But look at the representative of this people - model Eudoxie Yao from Cote d'Ivoire. She boasts two million followers on social networks, 99 percent of whom are members of the stronger sex.

Unlike many models, Eudoxy never resorted to the services of a plastic surgeon. Features of her body from nature.

Where do the Hottentots live?

“Stutterers” - this is how the name of this people will sound. The fact is that the first who met the Hottentots were the Dutch (aka the Netherlands).

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Europeans began to actively explore new territories located in Africa. It was then that the colonialists met an unusual African tribe. Their conversational speech surprised the Dutch. It reminded them of either the chirping of exotic African birds or the speech of a stuttering person.

“Hottentot, hottentot,” exclaimed the Europeans, pointing at the natives.

They were not like the Negroid race, with whose representatives the Dutch were very familiar before meeting the Hottentots. Their skin color was rather yellow, reminiscent of the color of a yellowed birch leaf in autumn.

Their facial features also differed from the rest of the indigenous inhabitants of Central and Southern Africa. Slightly narrow eyes, a flattened nose, prominent cheekbones and a pointed chin. You are more likely to meet such faces somewhere in Mongolia than in Africa.



When anthropologists carefully studied the Dutch “find,” some suggested that the Hottentots be considered representatives of a separate race—the Capoid race.

There is an assumption that it turns out that these people many years ago inhabited the south of European territory, or rather the south of France - from the Mediterranean coast to Brittany and Switzerland. The Hottentot women were very reminiscent of the two women depicted in an engraving found by archaeologists, made at the beginning of the first millennium BC. And they, these women depicted in the engraving, and the Hottentot women, have very unusually large, one might say excessive, fat deposits on the hips.

But no one could say how these people later ended up in South Africa. Many centuries ago, they inhabited the fertile lands of the southern tip of the African continent. This people was numerous, wandering with their herds throughout the territory of Southern and Southeast Africa.

Gradually, they were forced out of these places by Negroid tribes. The fact is that Hottentots are very short in stature. The average height for a man is 160 cm, and for women - 150. But the representatives of the Bantu-speaking tribes that coveted their cattle were real giants compared to them.

The Hottentots were forced to leave their homes for dry lands. Although there were not such rich pastures for their livestock, it was relatively calmer.

And a few centuries later, “civilized” Europe came to them in the person of the Dutch sailors, who very quickly turned into bloodthirsty colonialists.

Our heroes again took off from their places and again made their way - to the driest places that are located in Namibia.

"Circus of Freaks"

“Civilized” Europeans, when they met such an unusual tribe, at first thought that they did not belong to homo sapiens. So, a certain species of monkeys that only recently came down from the trees and cannot even speak properly. They only tweet.

The strange anatomy and physiology of the Hottentots contributed greatly to this reasoning. The Europeans were especially struck by the structure of Hottentot women. The fifth point in no way corresponded in size to their small height. The extremely lush hips and buttocks of the beautiful half of this people looked unusual.

The Dutch unceremoniously took several women from the tribe and took them to their home in Europe. There they began to show them to the public, who were very delighted with the buttocks of the natives. Gentlemen and aristocrats flocked to such a performance.

By the way, it has now been proven that the unusually large fifth point in women serves as the last point for feeding babies. This can be compared to a camel's hump. Body fat changes depending on the time of year.

Metallurgists and cattle breeders

Meanwhile, the people whose representatives Europeans mistook for monkeys, earlier than other peoples of Africa, and perhaps not only this continent, mastered the smelting and processing of metal: iron and copper.

Everything was quite simple. In a round or square hole, about 70 cm deep, they made a fire. Strong enough to heat sandy ground. Then they threw ore into a hot pit, on top of which a fire was again lit.

Next to the main pit was located a little smaller in diameter, but about thirty centimeters deeper. An inclined groove was made between them, along which molten iron flowed from the first pit to the second.

When the molten iron cooled, it was broken into separate small pieces and in the forge, again with the help of fire, they did what they needed.

This is how savages turned out to be.

Well, they were mainly engaged in cattle breeding. Livestock, like many African tribes, is a measure of wealth among the Hottentots. Individual families of this people once owned huge herds, reaching several thousand heads.

Among the Hottentots, a man takes care of livestock, builds and repairs houses. A woman’s responsibilities, in addition to being a mother, include cooking, sewing and repairing clothes.

The head of the family is a man. If he wants to eat meat, then be kind to the savannah. Get your meat there. Livestock is slaughtered in exceptional cases.

The Hottentots' food is mainly dairy, since they do not have vegetable gardens. Their entire life is still subordinated to the pastoral way of life.

Homes of the Hottentots and how they dress

The dwellings of the semi-nomadic people are simple. Why semi-nomadic? Yes, because they roam along a strictly planned route. And they stop where they lived a few months ago. The grass has grown there again and you can graze your flocks on it. So they don't have to rebuild their huts. It is enough to repair them.

Their parking is temporary, as I said. The hut is somewhat reminiscent of the Chukchi yaranga. The supporting poles are fastened at the top and the whole thing is covered with reeds or animal skins.

The dwelling is small in size. About 3–4 meters in diameter. Inside are wooden beds and modest family belongings. There are no windows. The source of light in the home is a low door.

Each family has a separate home.

The huts are located in a circle. In the center there are pens for livestock. The entire parking lot is surrounded by a fence of thorny bushes.



Who rules them? Hottentot family

The people are divided into clans. Each clan has its own leader. The leaders no, no, and they gather for a general council to make an important decision for the people.

Previously, many years ago, the Hottentots practiced polygamy. Enough ransom for two or three wives - please get married. Yes, and don’t forget to feed and love them later.

The wife could complain to the leader about her husband at any time. If the complaint is considered justified, the husband is given a reprimand in the presence of other respected members of the clan. As a rule, this helps. For a long time.

Now monogamy has replaced polygamy. But as before, you can get a wife only after paying a substantial ransom. Cows or money.

When a woman gives birth to a baby, she is considered unclean. A special purification ceremony is performed over her. The woman is anointed with the fat of an animal, usually a slaughtered bull, and spells are recited over her. Although, as if on paper, they are all Christians. But this is on paper.

Fat pours on the woman in labor in abundance. Over time, the dust and sand of the African desert settles on it. Until this mixture falls off the young mother’s body, she is not considered cleansed of sins.

Sad. Currently, this people is threateningly disappearing. Its representatives mix with other tribes. TeryaThey have their own identity and language, which is what interested Europeans in ancient times.

Moreover, sadly, alcohol greatly influenced the Hottentots. They liked him. Their life expectancy was already about 40 years, but here it has completely decreased by almost a third.
