Science
As previously stated this book is set in tribal Africa where there is not much science because they live more traditionally. They do not try to discover why things work because they believe everything is done by the gods. So there is not a need for science. But that leads to a theme about the neccessity of science. These tribes live happily without all the science we have so it shows that science is not needed to be successful and happy. Maybe the author just wants people to go back to a simplier time when science was not so complicated and a main focus of life. Advances in science have helped this world so much but maybe there are time when we need to step back and just let things happen instead of trying to change it with science.
