The year is 25,000 B.C., you are Nata, a young boy from the Huna tribe
in what will someday be known as western Africa. This morning starts
out like any other morning. You awaken early to the smell of smoke
drifting in through the opening into your family's grass hut. The
morning air is already warm and the sun peaks through your grass walls,
shining into your still sleepy eyes. As you poke your head out of the
hut, you see your mother along with various aunts and cousins getting
ready to gather the day's supply of berries, nuts, and roots. As with
most tribes, you are either a hunter or a gatherer. You are nearing
your 13th birthday and you know that your time as a gatherer is nearing
its end. Soon, you will join your father, brothers, and uncles as a
hunter. As you gaze dreamily into the smoky fire, your mother
approaches you saying, "We must go.". You grab your leather pouch and
follow the others along a well worn trail into the wilds of the plain.
The women and children scatter throughout the brush, searching for the
life-sustaining berries and roots. You dig at the ground with various
stone tools, prying at the tough roots. After hours of gathering, the
flies are beginning to bite. It is approaching noon. The gatherers
head back to camp, to avoid the heat of the sun.
