Abstract
There has been much confusion and lack of definition, and in spite of the continued existence of 'pockets' of so-called Dorobo in many parts of East Africa we find ourselves beset with difficulties if we try to give a synoptic ethnological interpretation to the very numerous facts. Some would lump all the Dorobo together with the trapping tribes and call them aboriginal hunting people of a Bushman type, explaining obvious departures from that type by infiltration of Hamite and Negro blood. Others (including many Africans) think that difference between them and other tribes is simply one of culture not of origin, that the Dorobo stay a step behind, while the others, due in part to population pressure, moved from the hunting-trapping-gathering stage to that of herding or herdingplanting (Lambert, 1949/63, p. 53),
