However, the recent eradication of the tsetse fly from Hadza lands has cleared the way for cattle herders, charcoal burners, game hunters, and farmers, and the Hadza are losing their water, forest, food, and land to overexploitation and pollution.
The evidence for this is genetic: the Ju/’hoan and the Hadza have the most divergent known mitochondrial DNA of any human populations, suggesting that they were the first, or at least among the first, surviving peoples to have split off the family tree.
Since two of the three groups speak languages with clicks, perhaps their common ancestral language, which by implication is the ancestral language for all humankind, had clicks as well.

 Hadza language
Hadza is classified as a Khoisan language by Greenberg (1976), along with Sandawe, its neighbouring language.
The reasons for this classification include the presence of clicks in the language and a relatively small number of proposed cognates with the better-known Khoisan languages.
Because of its seemingly typological nature, this classification is disputed, but relatively little research has been undertaken as to what the genetic affiliation of Hadza and Sandawe might be.
