Are you really sure that the Hadza mtDNA is so divergent? The Hadza mtDNA lineage is L2, i.e. a Pygmy lineage. The statement that Hadza make up one of the oldest human groups is misleading. Genetically they are related to Pygmies. So, more strictly speaking, the lineage of the Pygmies and Hadza was the second one that separated from the human DNA tree. 82.100.61.114 14:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sounds
The bilabial click seems to be modally nasal & labialized, rather than glottalized, perhaps an influence of mimesis, but then all labials are allophonically labialized. There's also an epiglottal fricative. But both phonemes are marginal, occuring in only a single known word each, each of which may occur with another phoneme instead (much like pʼ). Not published, though, so can't put in article. kwami 08:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
