really neat article on a very rare group in tanzania that never abandonned hunter-gatherer lifestyle despite some contact with nearby farmers.. available in this month’s NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC (my kid brought it to me!) or online also..male/female relations are quite a bit different than our assumptions…[/quote]
They grow no food, raise no livestock, and live without rules or calendars.
Anthropologists have estimated that they “work”—actively pursue food—four to six hours a day
People sleep whenever they want. Some stay up much of the night and doze during the heat of the day.
I bet if they had oil under their land they would hate us for our freedoms. haha
There are no wedding ceremonies. A couple that sleeps at the same fire for a while may eventually refer to themselves as married. Most of the Hadza I met, men and women alike, were serial monogamists, changing spouses every few years
A significant number of Hadza women who marry out of the group soon return, unwilling to accept bullying treatment
“Traditional” relationships
