San pl (plural only)

• Bushmen
• San is the plural form, used for the group collectively. Individuals are referred to as "a San man", "a San woman" etc, although when referring to individuals, reference to their specific nation is preferable (as in, "a ǃKung man" etc.).
• San became popular in 1970s western anthropology as a politically correct replacement for "Bushmen", which was perceived as outdated. However, it turned out that San was a derogatory term for "foragers" used by the pastoralist Khoikhoi, while "Bushman" carried no derogatory connotations, so that experts who had been in actual contact with the group recommended the continued use of "Bushmen" (Henry Harpending). By the 2000s, it was reported that San had mostly lost its derogatory connotations in South Africa and was partly embraced as self-designation, while it continued to be perceived as an insult in parts of the central Kalahari in Namibia.
