You are a member of a paleolithic group of hunter gatherers. write a letter to a friend describing the hunting stories you are recording in cave paintings. explain how you think you stories might other hunters improve there skills

Dear Sabertooth,

How are you doing? I write this letter to tell you that life hasn’t been easy around here; we are a group of 25 people who look for a living. While men hunt, women gather fruits, nuts, grains and berries. Gathering is easy, even children help out with this task, being cooperation the key for the group survival, but hunting is a hard job. The most difficult animals to be killed and captured are the buffalos and bisons, as they are too big and ferocious. Some of our men have been injured and one of them died yesterday. Luckily we found a way of making spears with a rock that is broken easily and remains with a sharp edge which helps us kill the animals and cut the meat in smaller pieces to be eaten.

Although we don’t have an exact place to be, we often camp and make our tents next to streams where we can fish, drink water and refresh in summer time.

The old man of the tribe has made a trap that help us at a great extent to hunt our preys, we just have to wait and see how they fell in them and wait for us to go and finish them. Wood and bone are good materials to make weapons, but rocks are the key to succeed, they allow us to pierce the animals thick skin. We call this rock ‘flint’.

I almost forgot: we made fire by accident when hitting one rock against the other. Fire helps us cook food, get warm at night and scare wild beasts that approach to us too much.

I’m sure you will find useful advice in this letter as you are now able to imitate all the things I told you we are currently doing here.

Yours truly,

Tuskbreaker
