People used stories, songs, and symbols to talk across long distances. Imagine telling a story about a big storm by drawing pictures on rocks or passing messages through special sounds made with shells. This helped people remember things from one generation to the next, like how to fish or where to find water.
Examples
- A group of hunters uses drum beats to signal the arrival of animals from across the river.
- Children draw pictures on stones to tell their friends about an exciting adventure.
