Hunter gatherers - Tribe - BBC

[ZenFlowerRadio]

This is a good video. One point, however: at 1:50 he says life there is difficult, and then from 2:06 to 2:10 he talks about how it's so good, with lots of relaxation and family time (which is well-known to be the case for hunter-gatherers among anthroplogists who study them). So the narrator seems to be contradicting there. No big deal, but def. a point should be made to correct this.

[Bret3030]

I think the drug he takes is kinda like Ibogaine

[Liyiemen]

This is

REALLY REALLY INTERESTING

[juliaisafilmbuff123]

Do these people have hierarchy within their society i.e. chiefs? Doesn't seem like it.

[facciadimerda]

@juliaisafilmbuff123

Mostly these are acephalous communities.

[GTXMAN]

Can someone tell me what were the best environments for hunter gatherers? I heard japan was one,is that true?

[TheRisingforce2000]

it would be funny if the tried to sell him some crack

[nkb9876]

this is the only way humans were meant to live

[kaziabir1]

this is where the rap song was born

[derekHSmith]

Even these people can see white men are superior.

[rootbeer9000]

Where the fuck did they get brand name clothes?

[InsaneMagnolia935]

@rootbeer9000 ur mom :P

[AwesomePersonxxooxx]

it would be amazing to live like this...I have to write half a page on this tribe for school and I have a lot to think about

[SgtThom]

@TranshumanCyborg

Is this is true.Then why developing civilizations thought out history fight for dominance and resources?

[TheiGODProject]

Support "The Shaman" Check out my latest action consciousness raising series so it can be made into something that can share consciousness with more people and really entertain them.

[YeOldeCastle]

0:46 you turned the camera away a bit too late and captured the boy's..um...thingy.

[PowwThug]

these peopole are far from moderen times, pretty sick that they can still live like that, but thats how we lived thousands years ago

[Flatline1111]

@PowwThug Its not sick at all my friend. Its sick that modern people need all this technology and convenience to be happy. They are content with each other and what they have. They do not need computers, video games, the super bowl, or McDonald's to be happy. All the modern things we have today make us lazy, and force us to serve as slaves to the few people who have all the money. In the attempt to make things easier we have destroyed the Earth, were as these people live in harmony with it.

[EnkiMelekTaus]

lol bruce always looks like a dick, but i love him anyway.

[MultiBitzZz]

The drug is like going to a priest and telling all the bad stuff you have done but it is just more powerful..

[Tien1185]

the villagers seem to get well along, unlike people live in the cities turn out to be monsters in society. Money don't buy happiness!!!!!!

[uomonegro1]

beautiful !!!!!!! amazing the american ,

[mjufpn]

culture is fascinating

[ArandurKing909]

LMAO NOT NUDITY! What's wrong with society, I wish I was living in a hunter gatherer society, with wifi of course :)

[walkman123456789]

@ArandurKing909 ahhahahahahahha, of course wifi would be a necessity to tell all your friends how much fun you were having not having to worry about the stupid shit they have to worry about.

[pup101]

idk they are pretty ugly man....... i think i rather stay in my society

[shavho]

guess they may invent wheel in 2000 years, keep up the good work

[danny1229c]

i'm working toward being able to go and live with a tribe for 6 months i'd love to return to this way of life truly amazing although af all the tribal ways of life i think the native American way is the best for me especially the way they hunted

[Machetazo1]

SOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful! It gets no realer than this...

[Slipjig9]

I'd love to learn to live like this someday. Truly learn what its like to go out and hunt your own meal, no cars, t.v.s. To just be able to enjoy the Earth and the many people living in it.

[SuperCharmaine24]

@Slipjig9 i would love this to,i would love to live off the land so to speak,there lives are proberly hard at times but they look so content and happy

[christuimbirek]

@Slipjig9 we could if we want to !!!!!!!!!!!!!! we jus afriad to leave our society

[SgtThom]

@christuimbirek

Don't worry.When Americans finally run out resources to run their air polluting technology they have to live like cavemen.

[MaxSafeheaD]

@christuimbirek

How to se effective traps, what plants are edible, medicinal and poisonous, how to make fire and shelter using just natural materials etc. people have lost so much knowledge how to live off the land, it's not surprising they are afraid.

[XdontUworryX]

@Slipjig9 What are you, 14?

[Slipjig9]

@XdontUworryX  No, but I'll go ahead and assume YOU are.

[LecelaKiciaIcuha]

@Slipjig9 Me too, it'll never happen though

[CyborgNinja442]

@Slipjig9 As do I

[KingofBoredom1189]

@Slipjig9 me too. but like lecelakicialcuha said, it'll never happen. But lets hope it happens to one of us.

[otherjay11]

@Slipjig9 Just make time to do it. My friend and I leave work in search of food once a week. It's immensely satisfying to catch your own meal and eat it in the wild. Fishing and berry picking are the quickest ways to do it. Sure, I come home to a house, car, TV, etc but that doesn't remove my connection to nature.

[berlin45ers]

this is so beautiful

[partrijust]

benaravo you ignorant fuck, this is based within the Congo Basin rainforest, get your facts right knob!

[testing88534]

Fact, Hunter Gatherers have more time off to do nothing than their Agrarian counter parts. Basically, there is to some respect, less work that needs to be done in the Hunter Gatherer Society.

[BroDudeYo]

He's Bloown!

[likitty20]

you are racist

[MachinateTDK]

thank you!! and so is your mother and father!! you know this man told be a long time ago, "after all that has been done to your people, you have the RIGHT to be racist"!! that is if i can even be considered to be one.

[likitty20]

explain what?

[gothkid287]

"Racial superiority is a mere pigment of the imagination." ~Author Unknown~

[TrueGreatness73]

they are more free then us americans

[patrikasLTL]

i would give you 1+ 22 times if i could.

[CoHproduction]

lol. you are so right, but most don't seem to get it. We are programmed being "free".

[boringcabbage]

@TrueGreatness73 sorry to say this but you Americans seem to think you are free and thing and more free than the rest but your government is pretty much the same as the rest of the world

[TrueGreatness73]

@boringcabbage To categorize all Americans is ignorance. Yes the majority of Americans are not that bright but there are wise ones like myself still out here..

[boringcabbage]

@TrueGreatness73 im not categorizing you im just saying allot of you say america is the land of the free when it's pretty much the same level of freedom everywhere else

[TrueGreatness73]

@boringcabbage You just said "allot of you".. I am not in the same category as them. I understand that many of the tribal people that hunt for their own food are way more free then us Americans that have to work full time to earn a decent living. I am fully aware that American government is corrupt. Nothing is free from my understanding.

[boringcabbage]

@TrueGreatness73 im sorry so can we stop shouting at each other and just say that almost every government it corrupt im sorry for what i said

[woodwhips]

@TrueGreatness73

Really you think we're free here in America man? Try not paying your taxes and see how much you actually own. Freedom here is an illusion... Freedom is not the ability to choose between 10 brands of toothpaste (oops nevermind, they all have fluoride in them)

Man we need to get back to how we were meant to live. Create small communities where we grown our own food and create our own lives...Pay no taxes to support wars, no corrupted education systems....no suicide/depression...

[TrueGreatness73]

@woodwhips Dude are you retarded? I said they are more free then us Americans. You need to work on your comprehension skills. You have not told me anything I dont already know..

[woodwhips]

@TrueGreatness73

Wow... I obviously wasn't trying to piss you off. Please don't tell me what I need to do, I will suggest to you that you don't take everything to be an attack against yourself, you could have replied with something nice and productive and we could have had a conversation... ? Why are people always so pissed off and edgy... seriously..

[TrueGreatness73]

@woodwhips I am well aware of the corruption in America. You can check my channel out. I have done extensive research on it. I said they are more free then us Americans and you are telling me the same exact thing like I was against it. Its international bankers that run America. Research agenda 21 and check out my channel if you think I dont know already. Why did you say "Really you think we're free here in America man?".. That made no sense if you were replying to what I said?

[woodwhips]

@TrueGreatness73

Alright=) really don't want to argue man, that seems to be all people do in any conspiracy movement lately. I will check out your channel.

the reason I said that was the "more free", most people in America have the impression we are the country of freedom and choice, how was I to know you were not one of those people. Again, not my intention to start an argument. That was my bad and I should have checked what you were all about before commenting.

have a good one man.

[TrueGreatness73]

@woodwhips  All good.. Have a good one too.

[bukaroo12]

Sad that we've lost that sense of community and simplicity.

[P1ckAp8rt]

in the city

[floydfan21]

lol, the little spat there at the end... hes going to have one hell of a bad trip if thats how hes acting befor even taking it...

[xane1990]

these ppl are happy with the lil they have while those of us in the modern world dont seem satisfied with the more we have

[P1ckAp8rt]

because were taught to be materialistic and that the more you have the better you are

[msoulja]

Everything in our civilization will crumble eventually and we'll be forced to remember our part of nature.

[DeAnna510moded]

i like how they found a way to live and survive without destroying the eniviroment

[redowen333]

true enough - we have the infrastructure they don't which makes our lives a bit more secure - its swings and roundabouts I suppose. My life might be longer and maybe safer but I'll spend most of it in a office, or wherever. At least I can go on adventure holidays. Maybe thats the answer - be an adventure holiday tour guide.

[chazmeistro]

A short happy life beats a long crap one!

[sal1988]

wat a pure life... imagine what these people have to argue about, or stress over, or cry over.... they always seem to smile... a genioun, pure and easy life is the best life, without the stresses and bullshit of the modern world

[chazmeistro]

A truer word ne'er spoken...

[rima110]

doesn't this make you sick and tired of modern life?

[redowen333]

Totally. I've read before about how hunter gatherers in average conditions have at most a three day working week. Its makes you wonder...

[JohnnyRigman]

yeah, would be a pretty cool life, except what would happen if you got cancer or something with no hospitals to go to?

thats the only thing i thought of that is a downfall about this life.

[mars3400]

1000% green world...lol..Thats Obama new plan B...lol....American you really need help from these People.How about the life without the Credit cards,health insurance,30 years Home loan,life without oils,gas,life without worried about getting fired from your job,life without democracy,religions conflicts ,life like these free peoples.Life at it birth...

[Bellinger2112]

it is always refreshing to see someone who knows this that lives in our culture

[colibri1]

Did he say they trap armadillos? There are no armadillos in Africa. They're strictly New World animals. Maybe there was a mistranslation somewhere.

[CanadaDan7]

You're right as far as I know.

Perhaps an African Armadillo Lizard?

Who knows.

[benaravo]

This documentary was based in Papua, not Africa! :)

[loredo2000]

i like that song on here

[alphamaim]

i saw bruce parry's dick on tv last week. he doing a manhood ceremony with some african tribe. it is not circumcised but quite massive. and he did jump across 5 cows. he has got a very good job living with all kinds of tribes

[pillowcasing1]

i envy bruce parry and at the same time admire his kindness and his brave calm nature

[sadhu1987sadhu]

what a life

[gatheringleaves]

Now these people know how to live

Naturally like we all should

Why do you think I don't own a cell phone or play video games, and hardly watch TV, because it doesn't do anything for me. I'm 18 and have never Text Messaged once, I go on the Internet because I'm a writer and like surfing the web, but this is great

[WMD911]

Thats is very nice that you know what pleases you.

[ssips720]

i cried a lot during this.

i wish we could live naturally like this...

instead of wasting our whole lives

[impulsive2urge]

hahaha... pity you... :)

[wadanaay]

what a life! less work more time with their family. No pollution, no stress and no fucken police to worry about government.

[mikezephyr]

that's an arbitrary number that more likely is out of balance with the carrying capacity of the land. know your land first. listen to what it says and needs.

if you're to get away from moden society, don't take along its sickness.

recent anthropological literature shows that a human-size community is 400~ people. tribes are even split up into smaller bands. anything higher than that (and 100,000 is certainly higher than that), and you re-produce the alienation of mass culture.

[UniversalLight1]

count me in

[chunloong3]

anyone know how is the first trap made?

[RastafariGoebbels99]

You don't need to worry about inbreeding, because no tribes are totally isolated. They still have exchange with neighboring tribes and marriages with separate families.

[19ChAnTeUsE90]

I think we only need 100 for a village, how bout we start there lol

[ranyin777]

yip count me in.. 100 thousand a bit excessive though yeah..?

[Fool12]

2:30 ...that kid has a big stomach...

[faustinesea]

He's malnourished.

[raigekimaru]

"traditional hunter gatherer tribes often have to work just 3-4 hours a day" that's why so many people are so stressed out right now. we're not designed to work for 8 hours a day.

2:05; lol 5 year old chillin' with a sword!

[mikezephyr]

the domesticated labor for 8-12 hours.

most of that time is spent making wealth for those in power.

gross inequalities sustained by force, law and myth are inevitable in civilization.

[raigekimaru]

true, that's why I don't want to be dependent on one civilization. I want to be able to move around freely and keep my wealth stored in safe havens.

[mikezephyr]

you're no less free being a mobile wage-slave.

[raigekimaru]

that's true, this is why I'm starting an internet business which I can operate from anywhere in the world. once the system is set up, I only need to spend a few hours a week on maintenance and from their I can do and go wherever I want.

[sadhu1987sadhu]

does this internet business thingy works?,.,., send me some information in a private message pleez..... i wud apprecite

[raigekimaru]

I sent you a message on your profile ;D

[JittoraAAHh]

I think I've seen this before... doesn't he throw up or something when taking the initiation thing?

[adikiny]

Very nice report. Really, Nature is simple, magnificent, enchanting and great!

[jannen27]

i like bruce laugh lol

[podsol99]

I want to go back to the paleolithic :(.

[h0b0licious]

You and me both, buddy.

[irobot64]

yes sir, me too, i am sick and tired with this modern day crap

[Gusty85]

the biggest diffrent between them and us is: they hunt and gather for what they need, we produce and work for profit, and to get profit we need surplus - to produce more than we need - whats most ridicilous is that we, the producers dont get shit for our efforts. the owners does.

i bet if we would all share the prodcution of what we do need, food, shelter, education, culture, medicin, without overpayed bosses and middlehands we'd save alot of working hours.

[richi1173]

So stop winning and become an owner; its a simple solution. Also, you view of sharing in today's society of billions of people is unarguable. We cannot do everything, we have a limited number of hours to work a day, and without specialization today's complex society would be impossible to maintain. It is required for us to place power in the hands of others. Stratification is the price we pay for living with an agricultural surplus.

[TheWrekker]

Great music.

Lol, kid with sword.

[thaatxboss]

hahah his name is Jean Claude, thats badass.

[Aussiemaster]

i wanna join there tribe all they do is relax

[2407405]

Im talking to ilovederekhough12

[rm15morris]

they have to hunt to survive u stupid fucking hippie

[guhjeeh]

how dumb do you have to be to say this

[Questpeace]

So you're for human holocaust?

[bushcraftenthusiast]

without hunting you wouldnt be here when our ancestors began eating meat it caused a surge in advanced thought witch made life easier for them and caused modernization so without hunters the human race more than likely would have died out long ago

[gravediggmn]

if it wasnt for people like this you wouldnt be living in in the place you are today. plus hunting for your own meat is fun it taste good and if its cooked right realy tender ah make my mouth water just thinking about it lol

[Terezush]

What country is that? Gabon?

[DammitDrag]

They Hunt the forest animals and gather fruits from the forest, Now....tell me why they AREN'T hunter gatherers ?

[podsol99]

Maybe he means that they aren't hunter gatherers because do use agriculture to survive.

[kemelsade]

they are not hunters gaterers

[DAVEtheMAGICIAN]

What is a gaterer?

[bbknifer]

A Croc-botherer. :D

[thai1959]

Great footage here.Loved it. Thanks for sharing your experience with us all.

[Raufb0ld]

Hope Baka pygmies will survive.

[Raufb0ld]

Many indigenous peoples are under serious treath of extinction because of deforestration on their habitat, fundamentalists missionaries, persecution, neocolonialism, globalization and diseases. Finally they don't have any other choice but adopt Christianity and western culture/values from FANATIC Christian missionaries. In many cases they don't really have a choice to determine their own future and live their own way of life because of extensive persecution and intolerance by surrounding world.

[theshadowboy607]

respect!

[coolmastertobe]

nice show=]

[IheartLatinoMen]

i saw this on tv once-- he better not be making fun of them!

[slicethereaper]

tit

[demalition900]

it showed a young boys penis twice.

[Superapplefrog]

So?

[ThiagoOliveira1984]

Oh no! little boys penis! Naked children are bad mmkay. hehe

[Superapplefrog]

I'm guessing and hoping that was sarcasm. Nothing wrong with nudity, if you have a problem with it then you should petition the Supreme Being to get kids born clothed

[ThiagoOliveira1984]

Yeah it was, it was a reference to principal from south park. "drugs are bad mmkay"

[Superapplefrog]

ah cool :)

[noseMF]

this its the real hunting and fishing for survival no for sports

[NorCalSurf]

Bruce knows how to connect with other peoples culture. This show is absolutely brilliant (Going Tribal).
