In this section, you will be searching for answers to the question:
What did the advent and mastery of Language mean for the human species?
After a brief introduction by your teacher, you will have 10 minutes to complete the online portion and corresponding questions of this section in your packet.
You will first explore The Cave of Lascaux, located in modern-day France and often called the Sistine Chapel of cave paintings.
You will then watch this video on the San Bushmen, indigenous people of the Kalahari Desert in Africa, who are located in modern-day Botswana and Namibia. Their "click" language is Khoisan, what many believe is the root of all human language.
You will end this portion with another clip from a San Bushmen clan. It is an ancient song sung by a tribeswoman to teach children how to count to ten. Can you remember the songs of your childhood that helped you learn or recall?
