A Multidisciplinary Approach of the Bantu-Speaking Populations of Africa (OMLL – 01-JA27: 01-B07/01-S08/01-V01) Language, Culture and Genes in Bantu: a Multidisciplinary Approach of the Bantu-speaking Populations of Africa (OMLL – 01-JA27: 01-B07/01-S08/01-V01) The Case of Gabon Lolke J. Van der Veen (Project Leader), Jaume Bertranpetit (Principal Investigator), David Comas, Lluis Quintana-Murci, Mark Stoneking (Principal Investigator) Introduction This interdisciplinary EUROCORES OMLL project started at the beginning of 2002 as an extended version of a similar project on Bantu languages and genes. This latter officially commenced, under Lolke Van der Veen’s supervision, in July 2000 as part of the “Origine de l’Homme, du Langage et des Langues” programme launched and funded by the French CNRS1. The present Collaborative Research Project (CRP) consists of one main project submitted by the research laboratory “Dynamique du Langage” (UMR 5596, Lyon, France) and two joint projects submitted respectively by research teams from Germany and Spain (see below). This detailed outline of the project wants to highlight the project’s goals and specific features, and summarises the state of the art. The LCGB project: objectives and approach The ultimate goal of the “LCGB” project is to elaborate a solidly based multidisciplinary theory of the origin and expansion of Bantu and the Bantu-speaking populations, on the basis of correlations between linguistic, biological and anthropological markers. Do historical linguistics, population genetics, cultural anthropology and archaeology all tell the same story? Combining linguistics and population genetics still is a rather controversial issue, but applying this enlarged multidisciplinary approach to the study of Bantu expansion may positively contribute to the debate and offers promising perspectives for a new synthesis in this field of investigation. In the first time, existing solid linguistically based phylogenetic classifications are to be compared with biologically based classifications, which are in the process of being constructed. Therefore, at the start of the project, very well-defined linguistically based diachronic inferences were submitted to geneticists having accepted to collaborate with our team of linguists, for close examination. The OMLL programme has allowed the development of collaborations with geneticists from France (i.e. a team directed by Dr. Lluis Quintana- Murci, Institut Pasteur, Paris, CNRS URA 1961), from Spain (a team directed by Prof. Dr. Jaume Bertranpetit and Dr. David Comas, Unitat de Biologia Evoltiva, Facultat de Ciències de la Salut i de la Vida, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) and from Germany (a team directed by Prof. Dr. Mark Stoneking, Max Planck Institute, Leipzig), but also from Gabon (Dr. Lucas Sica, Centre International de Recherches Médicales Franceville) and the USA (Dr. Sarah Tishkoff, University of Maryland). The French team —directed by Prof. Dr. Lolke Van der Veen—, as well as the Spanish and German teams have been granted funding by their respective national funding agencies. Without this innovative interdisciplinary research 1 The main lines of this OHLL project were presented at the 32nd Annual Conference on African Languages held in Berkeley, March 2001. Van der Veen & Hombert (forthcoming). 1 OMLL (Eurocores, ESF) — Language, Culture and Genes in Bantu: a Multidisciplinary Approach of the Bantu-speaking populations of Africa programme, it would have been impossible to develop such a variety of extensive collaborations and to create networking activities between thematically related projects. The combination of these different sources of information we are working with, will most certainly reveal both similarities and discrepancies between the disciplinary approaches. Both cases (presence or absence of correlations) will of course be equally interesting. The results of this study will subsequently be compared with the results obtained so far (or still to be obtained) in other fields of research such as Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology and History. In a wider perspective, the outcome of the “LCGB” project will allow a comparison with the results of similar OMLL projects on Berber (project leader: Prof. J.-M. Dugoujon), Eurasian (project leader: Dr. A. Sajantila), Himalayan (project leader: Dr. P. de Knijff) and Island Melanesia (project leader: Prof. S. C. Levinson), also presented in the present volume. Main specific features of LCGB Over the last few decades, population genetic studies of the African continent have especially tried to establish parallels between genetic and linguistic classifications at a fairly general and thus (historically) deep level. These studies have mainly focussed on the four major linguistic phyla of this continent (i.e. NIGER-CONGO, NILO-SAHARAN, AFRO-ASIATIC and KHOI-SAN2). Several of these studies have made strong claims about the African prehistory on the basis of specific genetic markers. Both traditional and molecular markers reveal correlations between these major linguistic phyla and genetic data (cf. Cavalli-Sforza & al. 1994; Excoffier & al. 1987 and 1991; Hammer 1994; Soodyall & al. 1993 and 1996; Poloni & al. 1997; Watson & al. 1996 and 1997; Melton & al. 1997; Stoneking & al. 1997, Scozzari & al. 1994 and 1999; Spedini 1999; Salas & al. 2002, etc.). At the start of the “LCGB” project, Bantu had mainly been studied as a whole. NIGER- CONGO populations in general and Bantu populations in particular showed to have the lowest level of internal genetic diversity. This is of course compatible with the hypothesis of a “recent” (i.e. 5 000 BP) and rapid (although gradual) expansion of these populations (Excoffier & al. 1987, and 1991 (traditional markers); Poloni & al. 1997 (Y-chromosome haplotypes), Scozzari & al. 1999 (biallelic and microsatellite Y-chromosome poly- morphisms), Spedini & al. 1999 (suggesting an expansion through minor migration movements). However, virtually nothing was known about the internal relationships between Bantu-speaking populations. Criteria used for sampling individuals were most of the time imprecise. All available studies suffered from a lack of accuracy in linguistic labelling (undifferentiated lumping, errors related to narrow linguistic classification, etc.) as well as from a lack of representativity (e.g. central African Bantu is still very badly underrepresented nowadays, cf. Salas & al. 20023). Carefully checked ethnolinguistic data were rarely taken into account and geneticists usually clung on to linguistic classifications that were more or less outdated (e.g. Greenberg’s 1963 classification). There clearly was a desperate need for a more accurate and more rigorous approach, and for a close collaboration between geneticists and linguists. The “LCGB” project aims at developing such an approach in particular for the study of phenomena with a lesser time depth, by working out rigorous criteria for sampling and analysis, by submitting up-to-date linguistic classifications and hypotheses4, and by 2 For a detailed up-to-date presentation of these phyla and the languages they comprise, see Williamson & Blench (2000). 3 For this study, data from only three central African Bantu languages were available, and only two Pygmy languages. 4 Considerable progress has been made in the field of African linguistics over the last three decades. These advances cannot be ignored. 2 OMLL (Eurocores, ESF) — Language, Culture and Genes in Bantu: a Multidisciplinary Approach of the Bantu-speaking populations of Africa drawing benefit from a large-scale multidisciplinary approach including also archaeologists, cultural anthropologists and historians (see also below). It should be underlined here that the Bantu languages (a group of about 600 languages and language varieties, being part of the much larger NIGER-CONGO phylum, and covering about one third of the African continent), along with the SINO-TIBETAN languages, are among the best-studied languages of the world, just after the INDO-EUROPEAN languages. Important aspects of the proto-language (i.e. “Proto-Bantu”, a language variety or dialect continuum spoken most probably about 5 000 BP in the borderland between present-day Nigeria and Cameroon) have been reconstructed (Meeussen 1967 and 1969; Guthrie 1967-71) and solid historical inferences have been made concerning the origin and expansion of Bantu. Although some more or less competing theories exist as far as the role of the forest area concerns in the expansion process (gradual penetration into the forest —following waterways and/or mountain ridges— or northern “migration” bypassing the forest5 or both6), and also concerning some secondary convergence and/or expansion zones, a general consensus exists among scholars about the main lines of the expansion as well as several much more local and detailed phenomena. (See map 1 below, for an up-to-date overview.) The Bantu expansion probably coincided with the end of the Neolithic Age and was at least at some stage related to the diffusion of agriculture and iron metallurgy (Phillipson 1985, De Maret 1982, Nsuka- Nkutsi 1989, Clist 1995, Oslisly 1996, Holden 2002, Diamond & Bellwood 2003). Environmental, demographic, social and economic factors must have played an important role in this gradual and wave-like expansion. For the present project, three geographically strategic zones were chosen in order to test the linguistically based hypotheses: the Gabon area (i.e. the enlarged “Ogooué-Ivindo- Ngounié”7 area), the Kenya-Tanzania area and the Angola-Namibia area. These three areas are known to have played an important role in the Bantu

  • Use of Plant Names for the Classification of the Bantu Languages of Gabon
    Use of Plant Names for the Classification of the Bantu Languages of Gabon Rebecca Grollemund and Jean-Marie Hombert Laboratoire Dynamique du Langage, CNRS UMR 5596, France 1. Introduction Since the early seventies, several classifications of Bantu languages have been proposed. Two branches have been identified in some of these classifications: Eastern and Western Bantu. The homogeneity of the languages of the Eastern branch has been confirmed, while the situation appears more complex with Western languages. Indeed, Bastin, Coupez and Mann (1999) have highlighted the complexity of the North-Western area which includes languages belonging to zones A and B. The purpose of this paper is to examine the North-Western area through the study of zones A, B and H languages spoken in Gabon in order to better understand the historical relationships between these Bantu languages. We propose classifications involving news techniques borrowed from biology (i.e. the phylogenetic method), like a network-building method, Neighbor-Net, in order to examine the historical relationships among these Bantu languages. First, we will present the major classifications proposed for Bantu languages, especially for the North-Western zone. Then, we will present our first classification based on basic vocabulary. Finally, we will discuss a second classification based on specialized lexicon of plant names. We will then point out the similarities and differences between these two classifications. 2. Linguistic situation of Gabon Gabon is a country situated in Equatorial Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, between the Republic of the Congo and Equatorial Guinea. Gabon is a multilingual country with more than 50 Bantu languages and one non-Bantu language (Baka, an Ubangian language), spoken by 1,291,000 speakers (according to Lewis’ estimation (2009), http://www.ethnologue.com/).

They are most often presented as an indigenous, monolithic and marginalised entity. After a fieldwork carried out in Nomedjoh village in South-Easthern Cameroon, audiovisual and qualitative data have been collected. The theoretical framework follows the dichotomy between structuralism and constructivism. While the former considers identity as a sum of artefacts identifiable and transmissible from generation to generation, the latter, notably with Fredrik Barth, defines ethnicity as a heterogeneous and dynamic entity that changes according to the time and space. Beyond this controversy, the data from Nomedjoh reveal that the Baka community is characterised by two trends: while one group is longing for the integration into modernity at any cost, the other group stands for the preservation of traditional values. Hence, the Baka are in a process of transition. Keywords: Ethnicity, identity, structuralism, constructivism, transition. Introduction After the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world entered into a new era characterised by the triumph of globalisation.

    ECOSYSTEM & RELICT CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF LOPÉ-OKANDA GABON Few other African sites to have so high a density of animal biomass, which exists within a well protected forest varied and large enough to maintain its genetic diversity. The site also preserves a record of biological evolution over the last 15,000 years on the edge between a dense and well conserved tropical rainforest and relict savannah. These occur with an exceptional record of successive cultures from the late Palaeolithic, their hilltop and cave sites, tools, iron workings and some 1,800 petroglyphs; also the record of the southeastward migration of the Bantu peoples through the Ogooué valley. COUNTRY Gabon NAME Ecosystem and Relict Cultural Landscape of Lopé-Okanda MIXED NATURAL AND CULTURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 2007: Inscribed on the World Heritage list under Cultural Criteria iii and iv & Natural Criteria ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription: The Ecosystem and Relic Cultural Landscape of Lopé-Okanda represents an unusual interface between dense and well conserved tropical rainforest and relict savannah environments. A greater number of threatened species of large mammals find their last refuge in Lopé-Okanda than in any other comparable rainforest area in the Congo Rainforest Biogeographical Province. The property also preserves a record of biological evolution over the last 15,000 years of the still extant rainforest-savannah transition zone. The Lopé-Okanda National Park displays remarkable evidence for settlement stretching over 400,000 years from the Palaeolithic, through the Neolithic and Iron Age, to the present day Bantu and Pygmy peoples.

  • Eastern Cameroon: the Dynamics of Baka Life and Their Ethnic Relationship with Farmers
    African Study Monographs, Suppl. 47: 97–119, March 2014 97 CURRENT ISSUES FACING THE FOREST PEOPLE IN SOUTH- EASTERN CAMEROON: THE DYNAMICS OF BAKA LIFE AND THEIR ETHNIC RELATIONSHIP WITH FARMERS Shiho HATTORI Faculty of International Studies, Tenri University ABSTRACT This paper examines the dynamics of the relationship between Baka hunter-gatherers and farmers in the forests of southeastern Cameroon, focusing on 2 aspects of this situation: Changes in the Baka lifestyle and the attitudes of the 2 ethnic groups toward the external society. As a result of the sedentarization policy promoted by the government since the 1950s, the nomadic Baka hunter-gatherers have settled near the farmers’ villages. This transformation has made the Baka more economically and politically dependent on the farmers. In recent decades, the introduction of logging companies, tourism businesses, and conservation agencies to the forest in which the Baka reside has created conflicts of interest between these outside actors and the Baka with regard to forest resources. The majority of the benefits generated by these outside agencies have gone to farmers’ groups, and the Baka have been marginalized politically and economically. Interventions by outside agencies appear to play a decisive role the future sustainability of the Baka way of life. Key Words: Baka hunter-gatherers; Konabembe farmers; Cameroon; Marginalization; Transformation of life; Ethnic relationship. INTRODUCTION In late July 2001, a local forest officer organized a meeting to initiate a forest conservation project in Malea Ancien village in southeastern Cameroon. The meeting was attended by Konabembe farmers and Baka hunter-gatherers who were living in one Konabembe hamlet.

  • The Baka of Gabon: the Study of an Endangered Language and Culture
    Proceedings of FEL XI, Working Together for Endangered Languages: Research Challenges and Social Impacts, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 26-28 October 2007, David, M., Ostler, N. & Dealwis , C. (eds), University of Malaya, pp. 163-171. The Baka of Gabon: the Study of an Endangered Language and Culture Pascale Paulin Dynamique Du Langage Laboratory CNRS & Lyon 2 University – FRANCE [[email protected]] Abstract The Baka Pygmies, in Gabon, are unusual in that they speak an Ubangian language in an essentially Bantu environment. This small community has successfully maintained their language despite pressure from Fang, the language of one of the country’s majority ethnic groups. However, government imposed sedentarization policies have forced this population to abandon their nomadic lifestyle, a consequential change which has important repercussions for the community as a whole. In this article I talk about my fieldwork, and the impact of my presence as I see it in the Baka community during the last three years, as well as the relationship of trust established between myself and the community. I discuss how my principal collaborator gave me some confidential information during my last field trip. I then introduce the different factors which have contributed to the endangerment not only of the Baka language but also of the Baka culture, including a difference in the social status between the Baka and Fang populations, and the deprecating attitudes of the Fang towards the Baka, which has convinced the latter that they are inferior. Finally, I discuss the various ways in which my different language informants give value to their language and culture, notably through the different types of language products I have given back to the population.
