(Nuba, Shilluk, Bari, Dinka, Baja, Kuku, Dogons, Yoruba, Mandari; ®Zande) Tessmann (1934b, I:p204)[1] did not note the “Mann-und-Frau-Spiel” in Baja children. Instead, they play in separation and boys are noticed, when the sexes do meet, to haunt and trash the girls. The Baja tend to regard children as innocent (ignorant), probably much contrary to facts (1937, II:p112)[2].
