Abstract
In this paper I describe my recent journey
through the lower Omo Valley where I visited various
tribal groups and witnessed a Hamer bull-jumping
ceremony. The aim with this article is to present
African life-systems found elsewhere on the continent
that might reflect certain aspects archaeologists
identify in our own prehistoric records.
