<P> The San, or Bushmen, are indigenous people in Southern Africa particularly in what is now South Africa and Botswana . Their ancient rock paintings and carvings (collectively called rock art) are found in caves and on rock shelters . The artwork depicts non-human beings, hunters, and half - human half - animal hybrids . The half - human hybrids are believed to be medicine men or healers involved in a healing dance ." </P> <P> Gall writes, "The Laurens van der Post panel at Tsodilo is one of the most famous rock paintings ." High on this rock face in Botswana is the image of a "magnificent red eland bull" painted, according to Van der Post, "only as a Bushman who had a deep identification with the eland could have painted him ." Also on this rock face is a female giraffe that is motionless, as if alarmed by a predator . Several other images of animals are depicted there too, along with the flesh blood - red handprints that are the signature of the unknown artist . The Drakensberg and Lesotho is particularly well known for its San rock art . Tsodilo was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001; not all the art covered by this is by San people or their ancestors . </P>
