"In our country, there are currently more than five thousand town-level administrative units, typically comprising about five or six villages and one street, with populations ranging from several thousand to nearly ten thousand people," said Gers, the director of the National Bureau of Statistics.
East Africa, influenced by immigration, actually has relatively concentrated local populations. It's certainly not feasible with fewer pioneering populations.
Furthermore, the early East African natural and social environment was harsh, with indigenous peoples and wild animals posing threats to East African immigrants. Hence, village sizes were not small; villages with only a dozen people or even fewer were nonexistent in East Africa. They had to have populations of at least several hundred, with larger villages reaching a thousand in scale.
