C U IC K Il Q U I Z LOAD: History records that in the dawn of civilization man subsisted on roots and berries. He meant no ill to animals, but many pursued him. Man, at first, fled lo safety; then, resentful, took to casting stones at them. Developing ac curacy, he began to make kills. AIM: Somewhere along those trails man tasted the flesh of the beasts he had slain. Liking it, he became a huntsman. . FIRE: Man’a first weapons were hare hands, stones and heavy sticks. Later he adopted the slingshot, the javelin, lasso, bow and arrow, and .finally, firearms. Until the advent of the gun, man's success as a huntsman never devasted wild life. He could not kill it greater num bers than the animals and birds could reproduce. So there were al ways plenty of game and birds.
