Nisa's Story

To be honest, Nisa's story was very weird to me. However, it is interesting and fascinating of how Paleolithic life might have been like. One thing that stuck out to me the most was her idea of God, especially when things did not go her way in her life. In my personal religious beliefs, I clearly disagreed with everything she had to say about God, but it was something different to learn about how other people think and feel about how life works. I further believe that Nisa'a love life, her description of her fourth marriage and the affairs, are still applicable to today's way of life and how people decide to handle their love life and relationships. Nisa'a early life of living in the bush seemed more relatable to how Paleolithic life was like. Lastly, I felt that the healing ritual reminded me of hypnosis which is still relevant to today's life as well. Overall, I enjoyed reading Nisa's story because it was different in its description of certain situations that still reminds me of lifelike situations and relationships of today. I think that the Paleolithic era is important to learn to see how far we've come as a human race from gathering and hunting to agriculture and even further to technology.
