The Second Jungle Book

Bushman psychological construction of worldview is based largely on causality and consequence- both everyday action and mythology/folklore is structured in terms of human and non-human beings' actions as a cause of an event. Take, for example, the Early Race Narrative concerning the baboon's short, crooked tail. When baboons were like people, in the Early Race times, a child went hunting with a baboon. When they returned to a group of people, the baboon told them he had brought them gemsbok meat to cook and eat. The meat did not smell like gemsbok but the baboon insisted that it was just that. They became suspicious and asked the child what type of meat the baboon had provided. In answer, the child responded that it was in fact human flesh. The people were angry that the baboon had lied and resolved to punish him. A pile of burning coals was prepared. The baboon was called to 'chat' to the people but when he came they forced him onto the fire and the tip of his tail was burnt off. This is an example of how each act has a purpose, a consequence. Ideally, the purpose is to behave 'nicely' (McGranaghan 2012). However, as with the baboon, when the intention is wicked or the action foolish and this leads to the propagation of negative events or behaviours, there will be negative consequences. Animism in art While new animism is taking over anthropological discourse, it has yet to have a major impact on rock art literature in southern Africa. As mentioned above, Thomas Dowson…

I think he was brave because he single handedly fought two Cobra’s and destroyed the eggs. That is really hard for a young Mongoose like Rikki. Now that is real bravery. For an example in the story it says,”Rikki was plunged into the rat hole where Nag and her used to live.” on page 27.…
