Abstract
This chapter shows how children and adults of the Baka Pygmies in eastern Cameroon construct social learning. Although the “easygoing” nature of the relationship between children and adults has been argued, previous hunter-gatherer research has given little attention to the children’s participation in hunting and gathering activities and the details of oblique knowledge transmission during these activities. I collected data by video recording naturally occurring interactions between adults (or adolescents) and children during the children’s participation in collective hunting, gathering, and other cultural activities such as butchering animals. The ages of the focal children ranged from 5 to 9 years old.
