The correct answer is: NOThe answer shouldn't be turned down on grounds that nothing is known. In spite of no material remnants are left the topic cannot be neglected. Sure, education rarely or never left fossilized traces. We better dig somewhere else.Was there a need for an education?We have to envisage the amount of knowledge necessary to cope with an environment lacking totally any infrastructure we are accustomed to and deeply dependent upon. What were the lessons' topics?Subject MatterLet me give you an impression of the wide array of demands for educational needs and its organization. It is a misunderstanding to assume, in prehistoric times, let's better say in hunter gatherer societies, education was not meaningful. That thought demonstrates only our poor fantasies to submerge into past times.Knowledge: A profound understanding of several hundred animal species in a manner rivalring with the knowledge of highly educated zoologists, to interprete footprints hardly detectable on frozen steppe ground surpassing todays hunters' abilities. To be able to anticipate from meteorologic observations the future movements of prey animals as well as of preying animals. To localize and identify specific plants for essential needs as tubers and roots, a botanist would be proud of. To identify the most promising spot to dig for water in an arid steppe, where a geologist might rather drink from his bottle. The education not only covered to gain full knowledge about each particle life or dead in the ecosystem and understad its diverse functions at toplevel. Further the total accumulated cultural knowledge of all past generations had to be stored reliably in an authistic manner to be recalled, in a perfection, a student may be happy for exam. It included the understanding of rare catastrophic events, to remember distant geographic locations with their vegetational or mineralic goods to take advantage from on seasonal demand.Body Skills: The training also required a thoroughly and steadily practising of all body parts, each to be activated immediately on the point of an event of danger, demanding reliably extreme body control paired with sportive strength like balancing on fallen trees across white waters or crawling through narrow curvy caves in total darkness, not to forget endurance running or escaping at top speed and be able to take advantage of a branchless tree being jumped up, while threatened from behind by a gigantic cat leaping. Although equiped with a body as you and I, it needs daily training, that should do it, like a severe athletics' training for competition, and on top all the other knowledges. But it was not a training as our sportspersons know. It was rather a combination of ALL disciplines, including spearthrowing, not from a platform but within a hunt for bisons, diving in cold water or broad jumping over quicksand had to be accomplished to the best not to please any teacher but to survive. The accomplishment of this education was a genderless task of life.How where the lessons planned?The kind of education did certainly not resemble what we expect from attending class. There was a total lack of curriculum, the children had to make their daily experinces without being taught ever. Observation of the elderly and high motivation to do better were the thriving force. Within the close social ties competition in the game was paired with cooperations in harmony. No pushing from the parents, as we think essential, was imaginable to these societies and they did not stand under the pressure to motivate their children, they were not worrying about their kids' success. They were completely confident, taking for granted that their children would soon prove to replace the adults. It was the major deed of the kids and nobody ever told them about their task to accomplish. They would empatheticly watch a movement of the muscles of an adult doing a specific task. They would round up on anybody performing a cutting and concentrate with utmost attention upon. Extensively staring mutely, only to jump away suddenly and engage in something relaxing or even more demanding. Younger kids would once in a while join adult hunters on demanding and dangerous excursions.Our KnowledgeAll these mentioned skills and capabilities need no proof, they are mere requirements in the wilderness. All these educational goals are not to leave archeologic traces, they are necessities everybody with enough phantasy paired with knowledge about nature instantly would envisages. Our knowledge is not only based on understanding the essential needs deriving from a complex wilderness but as well from careful ethologic studies. Observation of hunters and gatherers helps to fill our lack of understanding the educational needs. It must be remembered, although, that future generations will not find isolated societies without telecommunication via social media to the rest of the world. We must understand, that we mainly will have to use those notes that had been taken from earlier ethologic researchers. They will be our most valuable heritage to be regarded in the future. The records are well documented and easily available.EthologyNancy Howell: "[!Kung] children played from dawn to dusk."Robert Bailey: "[Efé] boys were free to play nearly all thetime until age 15-17; for girls most of the day, in between a few errands and some babysitting, was spent in play." Alan Barnard:"Both girls and boys [among the Nharo] had almost all day everyday free to play." Karen Endicott: "[Batek] children were free to play nearly all the time; no one expected children to doserious work until they were in their late teens."ConclusionAlthough there are neither testimonals from the very past nor relicts, we can and must look seriously on what we have: Insight on th educational needs and ethologiy studies with hunters and gatherers that before the interviews were only to a minor extent influenced by our overwhelming cultural power. Thus it is safe to assume, hunters and gatherers of prehistory did not enforce routines on their children. Any discrepant statement would need more supportive evidence for acceptance.Most our phantasies of highest demand for fitness seem poor against the forgotten times. Humans are in the process of becoming digital natives.
