| [00:02.98] | Lesson 1 |
| [00:04.66] | Finding fossil man |
| [00:12.18] | Why are legends handed down by storytellers useful? |
| [00:19.47] | We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, |
| [00:24.91] | where people first learned to write. |
| [00:28.14] | But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. |
| [00:34.00] | The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas |
| [00:41.10] | --legends handed down from one generation of storytellers to another. |
| [00:47.43] | These legends are useful |
| [00:49.88] | because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, |
| [00:56.34] | but none could write down what they did. |
| [01:00.77] | Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples |
| [01:06.49] | now living in the Pacific Islands |
| [01:08.67] | came from. |
| [01:10.60] | The sagas of these people explain |
| [01:12.91] | that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. |
| [01:19.46] | But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago |
| [01:24.20] | that even their sagas,if they had any,are forgotten. |
| [01:29.32] | So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out |
| [01:34.86] | where the first 'modern men' came from |
| [01:39.15] | Fortunately,however,ancient men made tools of stone,especially flint, |
| [01:45.69] | because this is easier to shape than other kinds. |
| [01:50.22] | They may also have used wood and skins,but these have rotted away. |
| [01:56.45] | Stone does not decay,and so the tools of long ago have remained |
| [02:03.25] | when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace. |
