Answer
The Hamitic hypothesis, proposed by John Hanning Speke, suggests that the Tutsi people are descendants of Ham, one of the three sons of Noah in the biblical narrative. According to this theory, the Tutsi people are believed to have migrated from North Africa and brought with them advanced cultural practices and political systems, influencing the social structures of the region.
