Why do African farmers put things on their heads instead of their shoulders?

Because it is a traditional culture for African farmers to eat food on their heads. Not only that, putting food on your head can exercise the integrity of your body shape, that is to say, you can exercise your spine with things on your head, stay upright for a long time, and make your body shape perfect. Therefore, except for the darker skin, Africans are more symmetrical and straight.

Putting pots and pans on top of your head and putting food and ceramics on them helps to save time. Farmers in our country like to pick things with their shoulders, but if they pick things with their shoulders, they need to prepare pole ropes and sacks. There are many things, which are troublesome and inconvenient to carry, but the things used on the head only need their own balance to prevent things from falling, and it is also convenient to take them down, without taking time to cut the rope.

The advantage of using things above your head is that you can free your hands. As a relatively backward country, Africa needs to improve its efficiency. So it is very useful for African farmers to do other things with their hands while carrying things. And Africa is sunny all the year round, so it is impossible to wear sunscreen. Although African people's skin is already very dark, if there is nothing overhead to block some sunlight, it is easy to lose water in their bodies. Water is extremely precious to Africans, so using things overhead can also prevent heatstroke and syncope.

Although Africa is a relatively backward country, they also have a lot of national wisdom. You can divide the weight of things into two with things on your head, because using things on your head will make your whole body subconsciously nervous, so you will divide the weight of things into two and spread them on your feet to achieve labor-saving effect. So everything in the world is inclusive, and every country has different customs and cultural habits. We should respect the different customs and cultural habits of each country, whether it is a relatively advanced western country or a relatively backward Africa.
