As part of background, "deliberate instruction" is one of the standing

there is no evidence of deliberate instruction among "Kung San Bushmen" (in

So, to further clarify the question: with this differentium, are the apprenticeship models reported by folks like Lave, Scribner, and Cole counted or not counted as "deliberate instruction"?

And is learning among the Bushmen differentiate from such models?
