I am struck by the father’s inability to make a bow and arrow or a spear. In our information laden society nearly everyone has a pretty good idea how to begin to build weapons and trial and error would eventually lead you to success.

This was Russia in the first half of the 20th century. The Lykov's were probably of peasant stock which meant they had limited education and probably knew little to nothing of stone knapping. We in America on the other hand have some knowledge of stone knapping due to Indians being a stone age people right up until the dawn of the 20th century.
