7. concept of death and an afterlife
After the tribe had accepted the stranger, "her baby had died. Where had it gone?" (34). The hominids were curious about the afterlife and understood the concept of death itself. They did not have a set belief about what happened after death.
8. role of food sharing
" They were strong symbols to the tribe, the giving and taking of food. They meant friendship, alliance, trust." (38) Humans share food unlike any other animal. This is very important to human brain development. Sharing food shows compassion and friendship.
