Assuming Bushmen and their languages to be more archaic than other

If Bushmen look "archaic" based on many well-proven facts,

Which "well-proven facts"? Could you list them, please, or would that
be too much of a challenge?



I call them
"relics of the past". If something walks like a duck... Simplicity is
the first rule. Don't build up ad-hoc theories where you can manage
without them.

You're nothing but a relic from old colonial times. It's as if you've
read one of those horrible 19th-century ethnographic generalizations
and nothing else. Or are you just making things up as you go along?
