Extract from the text:
Education through practice Indigenous people of southern Africa developed
their own methods of sharing knowledge through teaching practical skills. In
most instances teaching was by showing, with demonstrations of different skill
sets for the younger generation to observe. In southern Africa the San people,
who survived by hunting and food gathering for thousands of years, used
Stone Age tools to cut up animals they had hunted. Even though the San were
using Stone Age technology, they were very skilled in killing animals. They
used, among others, bow and arrow, snares and slow poison technologies to
hunt. The bow and arrow method was used to hunt large game such as
antelope, buffalo or eland. The hunter would stalk the game to within about
20 m, which is the distance an arrow can fly. Instead of killing animals
instantly, which was not easy because the arrow had no fletching and often
missed the target, the San used poisoned arrows to kill the game. The animal
would be poisoned to death slowly, which took from a few hours to a few days
depending on the size of the animal. The sources of the poison were
caterpillars, larvae of a small beetle, poisonous plants and snake venom,
which were put on the arrow. When the arrow struck an animal, the hunters
would have to track it until it died. Once the animal fell, the San would cut
around the poisoned area and discard it. The Khoi were also skilled at making
such weapons. Archaeologists discovered that the San also used snares to
capture prey as early as 70 000 years ago (Wadley, 2010). Traps and snares
have an economic dimension since they reduce the costs of a long search by
bringing the animal to the hunter, rather than requiring that the hunter go
after meat (Wadley, 2010). Since the prey was captured remotely, these
devices created time and space for hunters to engage in other activities that
included social activities such as rituals. Among the many ways to trap
animals, the San would dig funnel-shaped pits near rivers, place a sharp stake
in the middle and cover the hole with branches. The San hunters were
expected to observe and understand prey behaviour before they set the snare.
The snare that the San set was designed to function without human agency. It
