Introduction Climate change is a relatively new phenomenon in regards to its relevance towards the human population. This is because over the last several decades, negative consequences of climate change are just now starting to infringe upon the human life. Africa, a country made up of mostly periphery countries due to their topography and climate, experiences tremendous amounts of setbacks due to climate change. Therefore, this research will be centered on the consequences humans may face in Africa

Hucklebones, another widespread divination tool formally known as astragali, are heel-bones found in various animals that were removed and used as primitive four-sided dice. Each astragalus had four asymmetrical sides, each
