Building on the botanical logic of N.W. Simmonds (1962) and the archaeological records of the 1st millennium CE, this hypothesis suggests that an Afro-Indonesian ethnogenesis at the Mozambique coast facilitated a deliberate, nurtured transport system along the Zambezi-Kafue-Lualaba river corridor.</div>
