Why Is This Tribe So Far From Civilization So Healthy

How is this tribe, that is disconnected from all of us so healthy?
Non-state, or stateless societies were the norm in the past, and then with the rise of agricultural practices we got together and formed societies and started to cooperate in larger groups than our tribe. And so began our civilization process, but also with it, despotic leaders, human rights abuses and sometimes brutal laws. Homo-sapiens, once mostly nomadic hunter-gatherers, banded together and created towns and cities and sometimes ineluctable hierarchies. This “Neolithic Revolution” made us more sedentary, perhaps less prone to violence (that’s a hot-potato of a question) and it had a huge impact on our health. But how do we in our cities compare to ‘wild’ people still living in tribes? Today we’ll explore this comparison, in this episode of the Infographics Show, Why is this tribe so far from civilization so healthy?
First of all, we are going to focus on one tribe as that’s where a lot of recent research has been done. We are by no means saying that being tribal means having great health or that this one group of people and their health mirrors tribal societies in say the Arctic, Amazon rainforest or the Sahara Desert. The Bushmen of southern Africa lead a very different lifestyle from the most remote hilltribes of northern Thailand. Interestingly, though, you can find reports of Kalahari Bushmen saying when modern life encroached onto their lifestyle the price to pay was high – disease, booze and too many babies to young mothers, writes the BBC. The hilltribes of Thailand have also been tested by modern consumerism, rife alcoholism and methamphetamine abuse. But let’s put that aside for now and go across the world to Bolivia.
