Palma keeps referring to me this way, which is very sweet, but needs to
know I'm actually a baroness.

*Kaokoland* was an administrative unit and a *bantustan
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantustan>* in northern South West Africa
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_West_Africa>, in the Kaokoveld
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaokoveld> ecoregion. Established during
the apartheid <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid> era, it was
intended to be a self-governing homeland of the OvaHimba
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himba_people>. An actual government was,
however, never established. Like other homelands in South West Africa, the
Kaokoland bantustan was abolished in May 1989, at the beginning of the
transition of Namibia towards independence. "Kaokoland" remains as an
informal name for the geographic area, while the political unit of
administration since 1990 is Kunene Region
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunene_Region>.
The area is one of the wildest and least populated areas in Namibia, with
a population density of one person every 2 km² (1/4 of the national
average). The most represented ethnic group
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group> is the Himba
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himba_people> people, who account for
about 5,000 of the overall 16,000 inhabitants of Kaokoland. The main
settlement in Kaokoland was the city of Opuwo

For the record, the Grunebaum quotation (below) I was making reference to.
The way it comprares to Popper's view is open to debate!

Homo sapiens
A few Kantotelian reflections on the supremacy of Homo sapiens.
Besides Popper’s emphasis on the HUMAN quality of W3, there’s Grunebaum
and Kantotle on the supremacy of 'Man'. Grunebaum notes that it would be
nice if his account should "allow for the possibility that non-linguistic
and indeed non-conventional 'utterances', perhaps even manifesting some
degree of structure, might be WITHIN THE POWER OF CREATURES who lack any
linguistic or otherwise conventional apparatus for communication, but which
are NOT thereby deprived of the capacity to *MEAN* this or that by things
they do. To provide for THIS POSSIBILITY, it is plainly *necessary* that
the key ingredient in any representation of meaning, namely _intending_,
should be a _STATE_ the capacity for which does NOT require the possession
of a language. Now, some might be unwilling to allow the possibility of
such pre-linguistic intending. Against them, I THINK I ****WOULD***** have
good prospects of winning the day; but, unfortunately a victory on this
front would NOT BE ENOUGH. For, in a succession of increasingly elaborated
moves designed to thwart a sequence of Schifferian counterexamples, I have
been led to restrict the intentions which are to constitute utterer's
meaning to *M-intentions* and whatever might be the case in general with
regard to intending, M-intending is PLAINLY too sophisticated a state to be
found in a language-destitute creature. So the unavoidable rearguard
actions seem to have undermined the raison-d'etre of my campaign."
Grunebaum, in Grandy/Warner.
