Theories of Human Origin

1. Mythical Theory
2. Theory of Creation
3. Theory of Evolution

1. Mythical theory

   • It is based on folktales told by various communities on how they originated.
     Examples
     1. Luo - Claim to be descendants of their ancestor Ramogi who lived on Ramogi hill.
     2. Kalenjin - Claim to be descendants of the first Orkoiyot ( medicine man) called Miot.
     3. Wagiriama - Claim their ancestors lived at a place called Muyeye in Malindi.They dispersed from Muyeye and formed the nine (9) sub tribes as they migrated.
     4. Agikuyu - Claim to have descended from Gikuyuand Mumbi Who lived at Mukurwe wa Nagathanga.
     5. Baganda - Claim to be descendants of Kintu who lived on Mt Elgon.
        
        

2. The Creation Theory

   • It is based on Religious beliefs.
   • It explains that all human beings and other creatures were created by a super natural creator, God among the Christians and Allah among the Muslims.
     
     

3. The Evolution Theory

   • This is a scientific view which explains that human beings developed slowly ( evolved ) from primitive ape – like creature to what they are today. This view was first suggested by a scientist called Charles Darwin.
   • Archaeology is the study of human evolution.
   • To understand the evolution of man archaeologists study:-
     1. Tools
     2. Plants and animal remains (Fossils) of early creatures.

Study of Human Evolution

• The earliest known human-like creature was called Australopithecus.
• The period between the timeof Homo habillis and the time of Homo Sapiens is referred to as the stone age because the creatures mainly used stone tools.
• These creatures practiced the following activities:-
  1. Hunting and fishing.
  2. Gathering roots and wild berries for food.
  3. Painting and making ornaments.

Note
Stone age is divided into three stages:-

1. Early stoneage.
2. Middle stone age.
3. Late stone age.
   
   

   Stone age man	Where they were found.
   Homo habilis Homo erectus	Olduvai Gorge. Near Lake Turkana. Olorgesaille in Kenya Hadar in Ethiopia North West shores of Lake Turkana Isimilia in Tanzania.
   Homo sapiens	Ngaloba in Tanzania. Eliye springs west of Lake Turkana. Bodo in Ethiopia. Kanjera in Kenya. Omo valley in Ethiopia.

   
   
   

Migration

• Migration is the movement of people from one place to another.
• Migration within a country is called Internal migration.
• Migration from one country to another is known as external migration.

Types of Modern Migration

• The four main types of Migration taking place in Kenya are:-
  
  1. Rural – urban migration.
  2. Urban – Rural migration.
  3. Rural – Rural migration
  4. Urban – Urban migration

1. Rural – Urban migration

   • This is the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas.
     Reason:
     1. Search for employment.
     2. Shortage of farming land in some rural areas.
     3. Opportunity to engage actively in trading activities.
     4. Availability of better recreational facilities and good infrastructure.

2. Urban – Rural migration

   • This is the movement of people from urban centers to rural centers.
     Reasons
     1. Retirement from employment.
     2. Overcrowding and high cost of living.
     3. Difficulties experienced in towns.

3. Rural – Rural migration

   • This is the movement of people from one rural area to another.
   • Note: Most rural – rural migrations are permanent especially in cases of movement to settlement schemes.
     Reasons
     
     1. Resettlement of people displaced by the construction of big dams which form lakes.
     2. Establishment of settlement schemes (irrigation schemes) which attract many people from other densely populated rural areas.
     3. Settlement of landless people by government .
     4. Seasonal migrations by nomadic pastoralists in search of pasture andwater.
     5. Search of employment in large plantations.
     6. Mining activities which may force people to move away from their original homes.
     7. Government actions which may force people to move away from areas where they had settled in order to conserve the environment e.g. Mau water catchment forest.
     8. Political unrest which may cause people to relocate from one place to another (IDPs Internally displaced persons)
     9. Natural disasters e.g Floods which may force people to move temporarily to safer higher grounds.

4. Urban – Urban migrations

   • This is the movement of people from one urban center to another.
   • Note: These migrations occur in a small scale .
     Reasons
     1. Job transfers from one town to another.
     2. Opportunities for business people to expand their businesses in bigger towns.
     3. Religious pilgrimages which may result in people settling down in the towns they visit.

Effects of Migration

Effects on urban areas

1. Unemployment.
2. Increase in crime.
3. Increase in Immorality. Eg. - prostitution, HIV / AIDS and STIs
4. Development of poor housing - slums (shanties)
5. Competition (strains) for social amenities eg. Hospitals , schools etc.
6. Overcrowding
7. Environmental problems e.g. air pollution and water pollution.
8. Increase in labour supply.

Effects on rural areas:

1. Reduced pressure on land.
2. Shortage of labour (negatively affecting agriculture).
3. Improved economic conditions (reduction in production).
4. Reversal of roles.
5. Improved agricultural production (introduction of new farming methods).

NOTE:
Immigration: Is the migration of people from one country into another.
Emigration: Is the migration of people out of a country.

Positive effects of immigration

1. Foreign investments which offer employment opportunities.

Negative effects of immigration

1. Influx of people from war-torn countries encourages the movement of illegal arms into the countries which are used by criminals
2. Refugees in our country affects the environment as they clear forests for firewood.
3. The foreign cultures of these people end up affecting our cultures negatively.

Settlement 

Settler Farming in Kenya

• Europeans settler farming was practiced in the white highlands(crown lands)
  Examples:

 
NB: The colonial government took away large areas of African land and allocated it to the white settlers.

Europeans settler farming in Kenya.

• The European settlers farming took African land.
• They mostly practiced large scale farming.
• They introduced cash crop farming and new livestock breed.
• Their farming methods were mechanized: they used commercial fertilizers and applied pesticides to crops.
• Africans were used as the source of labour on the settlers farms.
• rotation on their farms and divided ranching area into paddocks which helped.
• They practiced crop to control grazing.

What the settlers farmers were engaged in?

1. Mixed farming (growing of crops and keeping of livestocks).
2. Plantation farming (growing crops in a large scale farm). i.e. sisal, tea, coffee, wheat, maize, pyrethrum, cotton, sugarcane.
3. Dairy farming, animal kept were: hare ford, Aberdeen angus, chorales, Galloway.
4. Horticulture.
5. Fruits grown : oranges, limes, lemons, pineapples.
6. Vegetables grown:onions, carrots, tomatoes, legumes,cabbages.
7. Poultry farming-chicken breed kept were; rhode island red, white leghorn light Sussex among others.

Effects of Settler Farming in Kenya

Settlement Schemes

Areas of settlement include:

Sotik,Endebes,Kaptagat,Matunda,Machakos,Lake,Kenyatta,Molo,Ainamoi Kitobo,Naitiri,Cherengany,Songhor/MuhoroniEldama Ravine,Chepsiri etc

Reasons for the establishment of settlement schemes in Kenya

1. To settle the landless people.
2. To ease congestion in the already populated areas.
3. To make land ownership in Kenya fair.
4. To encourage people to practice commercial farming in areas that had been occupied by settler farmers.
5. To increase food production in Kenya.
6. To speed up land ownership in Kenya.
7. To open up areas which had not been settled in.

Benefits of settlement schemes

1. Increased food and cash production in the country.
2. Provision of of land to the landless (squatters)
3. It has reduced congestion on land that had high population densities.
4.  It has helped to raise the living standards of the people.
5. Agricultural exports from various settlement schemes has helped to boost the economy of our country.
6. It has helped to open up the areas that had not be settled in.

Problems facing settlement schemes in Kenya

1. Lack of adequate capital to invest in improved farming practices.
2. Congestion in some parts of the settlement schemes due to population increase.
3. Reduction in the size of land due to land fragmentation.
4. People cut down trees to create room for crop growing and settlement (De-forest ration)
5. Over cultivation in densely populated schemes has led to loss of soil fertility
6. Poor transport network in the settlement schemes.
7. Lack of adequate markets for the farm produce.

Irrigation Schemes in Kenya

Irrigation refers to the application water to crops through artificial means in
order to facilitate their growth.
Example

 
Mwea Tebere Irrigation Schemes

• Established ii 1954. (It is the oldest in the county)
• Mainly started to settle the landless who lost their lands to the white settlers.
• Located in Kirinyaga county.
• It is the largest irrigation scheme in Kenya.
• Main crop grown is Rice.
• Sources of water for irrigation are:- River Nyamindi,River Thiba: Both are tributaries of R. Tana.
• Methods of irrigation used is Basin irrigation which involves flooding the rice plot(rice paddies)
• Canals are used to direct water from the rivers to the shallow basins
• Water flows into the basin through gravitational flow.

Perkerra Irrigation Scheme

• Located in Marigat, Baringo county.
• Mainly started to put more land under cultivation.
• Sources of water include:- River Perkera and Lake Baringo
• Methods of irrigation used isFurrow method.
• Furrows carry water from main canal to the crops which grow on the ridges
  Sluice gates are used to control or regulate the flow of water into the farm.

Contributions of the scheme to the economy

 Problems facing irrigation farming in Kenya

1. Shortage of water during dry season.
2. Siltation of the canals which reduces the amount of water that can flow to them.

Observation, Measurement and Recording of Weather Elements

What is meteorology?

It is the science of observing and measuring weather elements.

1. Wind

   
   
   
   
   

2. Air Pressure

   
   
   
   

3. Rainfall

   
   
   The raingauge is dug into the ground as shown above.
   
   

4. Temperature

   
   
   1. Minimum and maximum thermometer
      
      
      Used to measure temperature for the day.
      It is U-shaped.
      Minimum records coldest temperature.
      Maximum records warmest temperatures.
      
      
   2. Single-tube thermometer
      
      
      Used to measure coldness and / or hotness of the air.
      It is marked in o Celsius.
      It may contain alcohol or mercury.

Factors Influencing Climate Change

Climate change is the occurrence of unexpected change of climatic condition in a particular region. The main factors influencing climate change include:-

1. Deforestation
   Cutting down of trees leads to reduced amount of rainfall.
   It creates desert – like conditions in the areas previously occupied by forests.
   It contributes to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
   
   
2. Afforestration and re-afforestration
   Planting of more trees will increase the amount of rainfall.
   Both afforestration and re-afforestration reduce soil erosion and evaporation, hence protecting water catchment areas.
   
   
3. Industrialization
   Heat and smoke from industries cause pollution and increase temperature in the atmosphere.
   
   
4. Excess use of chemicals
   Such as fertilizers causes atmospheric change due to the gasses they produce.
   The growing of rice under irrigation contributes to warming of the atmosphere. The rice in water release a gas known as methane, which
   contributes to global warming. The same applies to the use of fertilizers.
   Global warming is also caused by the use of petroleum to run vehicles .Machines give off a gas known as carbon monoxide, which makes
   the air warmer.
   
   
5. Clearing of vegetation for agriculture
   This exposes the soil to agents of soil erosion.
   
   
6. Building of dams
   Human-made lakes which form behind the dam modify the climate.
   
   
7. Ocean currents
   These leads to temperature change along the coastal areas.

Impact of Climate Change on Human Activities

Positive effects

1. Increase in food production due to increased amount of rainfall
2. Increased generation of hidro-electric power due to high rainfall.
3. Promotion of fishing due to adequate water in rivers.

Negative effects

1. Low agricultural production due to lack of rains.
2. Displacement of people due to floods.
3. Global warming as a result of general increase in temperature worldwide.
4. Increase of water-borne diseases such as malaria and bilharzias due to increased rains.
5. Damage of transport systems e.g. roads.
6. Migration of people migration of people to favourable climate.
7. Death of human beings.

Soil

Soil is formed through a process called weathering. Soil contains:

1. Organic matter
2. Rock particles
3. Humus
4. Air
5. Minerals
6. Water
7. Living organisms

Major Soil Types in Kenya

1. Volcanic soils.
2. Clay (black cotton) soil.
3. Sandy soil.
4. Loamy soil.
5. Alluvial (young) soil.

Characteristics of Types of Soil

Volcanic Soil

1. Red in colour.
2. Deep fertile and well-drained.
3. Occur in layers.
4. Medium – sized soil particles.
5. Mainly found in the highlands.

Clay( Black Cotton) Soil

1. Small – sized particles.
2. Dark in colour
3. Deep and fertile
4. Poorly drained.
5. Muddy and sticky during the rainy season.
6. Big cracks during dry seasons.

Sandy Soil

1. Large soil particles.
2. Shallow and dry.
3. Contains a lot of air.
4. Water seeps through them fast.
5. Low water retention capacity.
6. Loose nutrients mainly through leaching.

Loamy Soil

1. It has a mixture of small, medium and large soil particles.
2. It retains a reasonable amount of water fertile, deep and well drained.
3. Appears in different colours e.g. light grey, dark brown and dark grey.

Alluvial (Young) Soil

1. They are found in river valleys and flood plains.
2. They are made of slits.
3. Soil particles are of medium size.
4. Have a smooth texture.
5. They are deep and fertile.

Major Causes of Soil Erosion

Soil erosion is the natural displacement of soil from the original place of formation to another by agents of erosion like wind, water and human beings.

The major causes of soil erosion are as follows:

1. Deforestation- Cutting down of trees which exposes the soil to agents of soil erosion.
2. Overstocking- Keeping large herds of livestock beyond the capacity of land leading to overgrazing
3. Overgrazing-Livestock grazing on all pasture (vegetation) leaving the ground bare.
4. Monocropping-Growing of one type of crop on the same peace of land year after year exhausts soil fertility.
5. Over-cropping-Growing of many different types of crops which compete for nutrients. The soil finally becomes loose and infertile
6. Up-the-slope (hill) cultivation-This promotes gulley erosion.
7. Mining and quarrying-Results to displacement of soil.

Effects of Soil Erosion on Human Activities

1. Destocking (reducing the number of livestock on the farm)
2. Application of fertilizers to the soil in order to increase its fertility.
3. Introduction of afforestration and re-afforestrationprogrammes
4. Promotion of agriculture in the flood plain where fertile soil (alluvial) is deposited.
5. Adoption of good farming methods to reduce soil erosion.
6. Additional expense to the government in building dams, dykes and canals.

Soil Conservation Measures

1. Afforestration :
   Planting of trees.
2. Re- afforestration:
   Planting of trees where they had been cut down.
3. Agro-forestry:
   Planting of trees together with crops.
4. Crop rotation:-
   Growing of different crops on the same peace of land in alternate planting seasons.
5. Mulching: The covering of the bare ground with grass to prevent moisture loss.
6. Cover cropping:
   Planting of perennial crops like coffee and bananas together with food crops likepotatoes, beans and maize.
7. Construction of gabions:
   Pilling up of stones in iron cages to prevent further movement of soil downhill.
8. Terracing:
   Making of horizontal steps on sides of hilly areas.
9. Fallowing:
   Leaving the land idle for some time in order to retain its fertility.
10. Creation of cut-off- drainage:
    This is the digging of trenches to divert water from hill tops
11. Controlled grazing:
    This is done by subdividing land into paddocks.
12. Use of fertilizers and manure:
    This helps the soil to regain its fertility.
13. Contour ploughing:
    This is ploughing of farm across the land guarded by the contours.
