It has been decades since paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson discovered the first fossilized bone of Australopithecus afarensis. Donald and his team had been surveying a remote area in Ethiopia when the discovery was made. Donald later unearthed vertebra, skull fragments, and a jaw bone further giving validity to a new hominid he would later name Lucy. It wouldn’t be for a few years, but the discovery would be labeled as the “missing link” between humans and a direct ancestor. The scientific community finally had a crucial puzzle piece to explain “how and why” in their evolutionary theory. The search for an origin to the human race has been a priority since before records of our existence. In the country of Uganda, southwest of Ethiopia, lived

Kintu’s first discovery is that there are no resources in Uganda. Luckily for Kintu he had a cow with him and would drink from the cow when he was hungry or thirsty. Kintu then crosses paths with Mugulu’s (Sky God) daughters. Nambi and her sister are stunned at the sight of Kintu and his cow. They build a rapport, and invited Kintu to heaven. The sisters would not take the cow to heaven, then Nambi went to speak to Mugulu. Mugulu is so surprised the there is a man he wants proof. Mugulu orders his son to fetch Kintu’s cow since he believes a man (Kintu) could not live after seeing a god. This starts the five tests of Kintu to win Nambi and the cow. The first task is to live without his cow and find alternative ways of eating in a barren country. Second, Mugulu has a great feast and forces Kintu to eat all of the food or die. Third, Kintu must make a fire out of stones for fuel, and they are to be cut with a soft copper axe. The fourth test Mugulu sends Kintu to collect a bucket worth of morning dew. Finally, the fifth test is pick out his original cow from now a heard of ten thousand. He gets help from a hornet that tells Kintu to wait until it lands on the original cows shoulder. This explains how Uganda is populated with animals, and food for completing these tasks. Kintu’s journey also includes Warumbe who eats children and then gets sent into Earth. Kintu is now the king and all people
