Poison and a suppressed people.
The Bushmen, also known as the San people, are indigenous hunter-gatherer tribes in Namibia. They have a unique method for obtaining poison for their arrows, which involves using the toxic secretions of specific plant and animal species. This poison is applied to the tips of their arrows to make them more lethal when hunting.
