Answer:

The Bantu of Southern Africa is not an example of a hunting and gathering group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even in the 20th century, and continuing in the 21t as well, there are still groups of people that practice hunter-gatherer lifestyle. These are groups that live in remote areas, far away from modern-day civilization, and with little to no contact with outsiders. Such examples are numerous tribes in the Amazon, San Bushman in Southern Africa, some of the Aboriginal people in the interior of Australia, numerous tribes in Malaysia and New Guinea, etc.

The Bantu people of Southern Africa though don't fall in this category. The Bantu in Southern Africa have abandoned this lifestyle and have a sedentary lifestyle. Until relatively recently, the majority of the Bantu population was living in rural areas, but since the mid-1990s there has been a shift where more and more have moved into the urban areas.
