Role in Pre-History	Young tribe members required community and a sense of purpose to fulfill their roles of hunters, warriors and mothers.	Older, experienced humans were an important resource for arbitrating social conflict once the tribe reached a critical size.	The few early humans who lived to old age were the tribe’s venerated source of wisdom and justice.	Disaster could quickly destroy a tribe; only the cunning and courage of the survivors gave it a second chance.
