Why'd leader of rock tribe...?


When a killed animal was cooking on the fire, why did the leader of the Rock Tribe stomp on one guy who reached for some meat, but then let some other guy eat some?

I believe that "guy" you were referring to was actually Akhoba's wife! She was cooking the thing and tasting it to make sure it was done.

Ah... Thanks!

Right that's what I thought too. I don't know if she was his wife, but she was a trusted member of the tribe who he apparently put into that role as 'flesh taster.' Something like that. Who knows, could have been his mom or aunt or sister. Once she gave the OK, then he went and took his share. Then his sons did, first one, then the other. After that, it was a free-for-all for everyone else. Afterwards he then took some from his son, I suppose to assert his dominance, and that's when the fun starts.
