5. Migration & Population Pyramids

6. Bantu Migration – Push or Pull?
Experts suggest once these peoples developed agriculture and iron working, they were able to produce more food. As a result, the population of West Africa increased. Because this enlarged population required more food, the earliest Bantu speakers planted more land. Soon there wasn't enough land to go around, so they had to move.
Was this a Push factor or a Pull factor?
