Prehistoric rock art in southern Africa has been studied - with remarkable success - in the light of ethnographic data obtained from modern 'San' or 'Bushmen'. Yet examples of rock paintings reflect conceptual associations similar if not identical to those identified among Bantu-speakers. It is recommended that the art be studied in the light of linguistic as well as ethnographic data without adopting a 'San-centric' stance
