Chapter II: The Ornament of Big Nose

1 How did primitive man convey his wants and his ideas to his fellow
creatures before he possessed a wide articulate language?

2 Can you suggest any sharp weapons the Cave Men could make without
the use of tools? Name some.

3 Do you imagine the Cave People possessed longer arms than civilized
men? Why?

4 Was this period the Golden Age of Peace and Plenty that some people
suggest?

5 Do you imagine Cave Men were care free or that they were forced to
be cunning and furtive creatures of the forests?

6 Were the early savages superior to the other animals of that period
in running? In swimming? In fighting?

7 Had they longer teeth? Sharper claws? Greater physical protection
for the soft and delicate portions of their bodies?

8 To what do you attribute man’s survival amid a world of savage
enemies?

9 Was man more cunning? Was he more social?

10 If you have classes of children, suggest pantomime plays in which
they can convey ideas or desires to the others by means of
gestures.
