Section outline

  • Over the next 2 weeks (weeks 10 and 11) we will look at a foreign culture – the !Kung bushpeople of Southern Africa and their way of life.   The !Kung have over the course of a couple of hundred years, passed from the hunter-gatherer stage to the modern age, but it has created many challenges for their culture, which is faced with extinction. The !Kung are one of the few people in the world who speak using a variety of clicking sounds made with their mouths – which we will also examine in class.
