Description
Students will complete a project that uses content from a survival show from an approved list
and compares it to the challenges early forager communities experienced between the years
15500BCE and 8500BCE in Africa.
The project should be between 4-5 pages. Use Jstor to find at least 2 more sources relevant to the topic.
In the process of completing the project it should address the following questions:
What challenges did people deal with during the survival show that were similar to early
foraging communities?
What challenges did early foraging communities face that were different from the survival show
experiences?
What advantages did the participants in the survival show have that early foragers did not
have?
What advantages did early foragers have over participants in the survival show?
Remember to consider keys to survival water, food, shelter, and fire. Also, it is important to
consider other tangibles including level of nutrition, health and illness, group dynamics, gender,
and so on.
