ORIGIN OF  HUMAN  LIKE CREATURES  IN  PREHISTORIC TIMES.
F. EARLY HUMAN LIKE CREATURES.
Human like creatures appeared  million years ago. The first period  of prehistory is called  the Old stone age period or Palaeolithic age .The word Palaeolithic comes  from a Greek words palaios,  meaning ‘’old’’ and lithos meaning ‘’stone’’. This period was called stone age because almost all artifacts    that  have  survived  were made of stone. In  1974 In Ethiopia ,an anthropologist  Dolnad c Jonson discovered  female  skeleton remains that may be million years old. Although   Johnson  named  his find Australopithecus   , the skeleton became  known as ‘’lucky ‘’after the song  after the BeatleS’ son,’’  ‘’lucky  in the sky  with diamonds ,’’ which was a popular song at the time of discovery. After examining the bones  found  at the excavation site  fragments  of  her legs  and foot , Jonson concluded that  the  lucky walked on two legs. The same creature was  aslo discovered by Mary leaky  in Tanzania  and after examing found that the creature  walked on two legs. 
The images below show the images of anthropologist and  remains of   australopithecus.

TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENT AMONG THE KAMBA

Image
The Kamba  mbeve  is a good example of the gourd-resonated fiddle. The gourd is ‘inverted and then pierced on both sides by a small bow. A string (formerly a tendon from a cow) is stretched across the membrane at the top and affixed on either side to the bow. The bridge, as stated earlier, is optional. The cylindrical wood-resonated fiddle is more common in western Kenya, and was traditionally used with a bridge. The tuning loops and indents found on similar instruments in the south-eastern parts of Africa 1  are not used in Kenya. Instead the tuning peg which holds the string is turned. The bridge may be moved to either end of the membrane to increase or decrease the tension in the string. Bows Kenyan youth have always used their hunting bows as instruments although not much attention is paid to this form of music. Although the hunting bow is used for entertainment, it must be ritually cleaned if it is to be used for therapeutic purposes by traditional doctors. Am...

CULTURE OF THE KALEJIN AND THIER TRADION

Image
The Kalenjin live primarily in Kenya. They are an ethnic grouping of eight culturally and  linguistically  related groups or "tribes": the Kipsigis, Nandi, Tugen, Keiyo, Marakwet, Pokot (sometimes called the Suk), Sabaot (who live in the Mount Elgon region, overlapping the Kenya/Uganda border), and the Terik. Their present-day homeland is Kenya's western highlands and the Rift Valley. Kalenjin translates roughly as "I tell you." The name has played a crucial role in the construction of this relatively new  ethnic identity   among formerly independent, but culturally and linguistically similar tribes. The origin of the name Kalenjin and the Kalenjin ethnic identity can be traced to the 1940s. It represents a clear desire to draw political strength from greater numbers. Beginning in the 1940s, individuals from these groups who were going off to fight in World War II (1939–45) used the term kale or kole (the process of scarring the breast or the arm of a warr...
