I was looking for the names of some groups of people who still exist today
and who are classified by anthropologists as ‘hunter-gatherers’. While
searching, I came across
this
somewhat bizarre essay, that seems to indulge in idealization in quite an
extreme way. However, I am also prone to idealization of hunter-gatherer
groups, so I found it quite interesting. Although, I should point out that
many of the references and ideas that the author presents as ‘fact’ are
contradicted by other researchers, so be forwarned.
