Nisa's Story - What do you think of Nisa's account as a description of what Paleolithic peoples might have been like?
From what I read and understand, the Paleolithic people were poor, but they still carried things in their possession. In Nisa's case, she had animal hide upon traveling. The Paleolithic people were also hunters rather than just explorers. While living in a bush with her family, Nisa's father used traps to hunt down animals for food, and they even collected berries. She and her family even shared with the other Paleolithic people who lived close to her. When it came to marriage, the Paleolithic people had built marriage huts where they took place in. At that time, these humans were able to marry more than once, but sex is always the big subject when marriage is always involved. With the loss of loved ones, Paleolithic people like Nisa will blame God for the things that happen to her family.
