Research for Khoe and San Development The cultures, lifestyles and general quality of life of the Indigenous peoples across the world have attracted the attention of researchers, development practitioners, government officials and non-governmental organizations all over the world. However, limited opportunities exists for interested parties to meet and exchange information on a variety of development issues the directly or indirectly affects the Khoe and San. Questions are increasingly being raised on the extent to which the Khoe and San are included in their own development and thus able to shape their destiny. We are pleased to announce plans for an international Khoe and San conference to be held in Botswana (University of Botswana) on the 10-12 September 2003. The conference entitled: Research for Khoe and San Development will provide a unique environment for academics, government officials, development practitioners and the Khoe and San to dialogue on pertinent issues of mutual concern. The timing of this conference is opportune, given the recent international negative publicity about the treatment of the San in Botswana. It will raise the profile of the problem and provide essential information for future development in the area of research, policy making and programme implementation. Additionally, it will provide and an important platform for the Khoesan representatives to express their understandings and desires for more appropriate development policies and programmes.

Leading Anthropologists are trying to expand the conecpt of culture also to primates, like the orang utan apes. After a nature-article now some scientists showed again, that also in ape population some cultural traditions can be found. For example, orang utans at Borneo use leaves to amplify their oral noises, the ones from Sumatra only their hands. The article is published in Science. You can also read about in Telepolis (german) and BBC (english).
