Do you dream of visiting national parks Africa, see wild animals in their natural habitat and enjoy the last untouched corners of our planet? Safari in Tanzania is an unforgettable journey through the African savannah!
The bulk of the peoples of Africa include groups consisting of several thousand and sometimes hundreds of people, but at the same time they do not exceed 10% of the total population of this continent. As a rule, such small ethnic groups are the most savage tribes.
The Mursi tribe, for example, belongs to this group.
The Ethiopian Mursi tribe is the most aggressive ethnic group
Ethiopia - ancient country in the world. It is Ethiopia that is considered the ancestor of humanity; it was here that the remains of our ancestor, modestly named Lucy, were found.
More than 80 ethnic groups live in the country.
Living in southwestern Ethiopia, on the border with Kenya and Sudan, settled in Mago Park, the Mursi tribe is distinguished by unusually strict customs. They can rightfully be nominated for the title of the most aggressive ethnic group.
Prone to frequent alcohol consumption and uncontrolled use of weapons. IN everyday life The main weapon of the tribe's men is a Kalashnikov assault rifle, which they buy in Sudan.
In fights, they can often beat each other almost to the point of near-death state, trying to prove his dominance in the tribe.
Scientists attribute this tribe to a mutated Negroid race, with distinctive features such as short stature, wide bones and crooked legs, low and tightly compressed foreheads, flattened noses and pumped-up short necks.
Mursi women's bodies often look flabby and sickly, with sagging bellies and breasts, and hunched backs. There is practically no hair, which is often hidden under intricate headdresses of a very fancy type, using as material everything that can be picked up or caught nearby: rough skins, branches, dried fruits, swamp shellfish, someone's tails, dead insects and even incomprehensible stinking carrion.
Most famous feature The Mursi tribe has a tradition of inserting plates into the lips of girls.
The more public Mursi who come into contact with civilization may not always have all these characteristic attributes, but the exotic appearance of their lower lip is business card tribe.
Plates are made different sizes made of wood or clay, the shape can be round or trapezoidal, sometimes with a hole in the middle. For beauty, the plates are covered with a pattern.
The lower lip is cut in childhood, and pieces of wood are inserted there, gradually increasing their diameter.
Mursi girls begin wearing plates at the age of 20, six months before marriage. The lower lip is pierced and a small disc is inserted into it; after the lip is stretched, the disc is replaced with a larger one, and so on until the desired diameter is reached (up to 30 centimeters!!).
The size of the plate matters: the larger the diameter, the more the girl is valued and the more cattle the groom will pay for her. Girls must wear these plates at all times except when sleeping and eating, and they can also take them out if there are no males of the tribe nearby.
When the plate is pulled out, the lip hangs down in a long, round rope. Almost all Mursi have no front teeth, and their tongue is cracked and bleeding.
The second strange and terrifying decoration of Mursi women is the monista, which is made from human phalanges of fingers (nek). One person has only 28 of these bones in his hands. Each necklace usually consists of phalanges of five or six tassels; for some lovers of “costume jewelry,” the monista is wrapped around the neck in several rows
It glistens greasyly and emits a sweetish rotting smell of melted human fat; every bone is rubbed daily. The source for beads never runs low: the priestess of the tribe is ready to deprive the hands of a man who has broken the laws for almost every offense.
It is customary for this tribe to do scarification (scarring).
Men can afford scarring only after the first murder of one of their enemies or ill-wishers. If they kill a man, they decorate right hand, if a woman, then the left one.
Their religion, animism, deserves a longer and more shocking story.
Short: women are priestesses of death, so they give their husbands drugs and poisons every day.
The High Priestess distributes antidotes, but sometimes salvation does not come to everyone. In such cases, the widow is drawn on the plate white cross, and she becomes a very respected member of the tribe, who is not eaten after death, but is buried in the trunks of special ritual trees. Honor is due to such priestesses due to the fulfillment of the main mission - the will of the God of Death Yamda, which they were able to fulfill by destroying the physical body and freeing the highest spiritual Essence from their man.
The rest of the dead will be collectively eaten by the entire tribe. Soft tissues are boiled in a cauldron, bones are used for amulets and thrown in swamps to mark dangerous places.
What seems very wild for a European is commonplace and tradition for the Mursi.
Bushmen tribe
African Bushmen are the most ancient representatives human race. And this is not speculation at all, but a scientifically proven fact. Who are these ancient people?
Bushmen are a group of hunting tribes South Africa. Now these are the remains of numerous ancient African population. Bushmen are distinguished by their short stature, wide cheekbones, narrow eyes and much swollen eyelids. True Color It is difficult to determine their skin, because in the Kalahari they are not allowed to waste water on washing. But you can notice that they are much lighter than their neighbors. Their skin tone is slightly yellowish, which is more common among South Asians.
Young Bushmen are considered the most beautiful among the female population of Africa.
But once they reach puberty and become mothers, these beauties are simply unrecognizable. Bushmen women have overdeveloped hips and buttocks, and their stomachs are constantly swollen. This is a consequence of poor nutrition.
To distinguish a pregnant Bushwoman from other women of the tribe, she is coated with ash or ocher, since appearance this is very difficult to do. By the age of 35, Bushman men begin to look like octogenarians, due to the fact that their skin sagging and their bodies become covered with deep wrinkles.
Life in Kalahari is very harsh, but even here there are laws and rules. The most important resource in the desert is water. There are old people in the tribe who know how to find water. At the place that they indicate, the representatives of the tribe either dig wells or drain water using plant stems.
Each Bushman tribe has a secret well, which is carefully blocked with stones or covered with sand. During the dry season, the Bushmen dig a hole at the bottom of a dry well, take a plant stem, suck water through it, take it into their mouths, and then spit it into the shell of an ostrich egg.
South African Bushman tribe the only people on Earth, where men have a constant erection, This phenomenon does not cause any unpleasant sensations or inconveniences, except for the fact that while hunting on foot, men have to attach the penis to the belt so as not to cling to branches.
Bushmen do not know what private property is. All animals and plants growing in their territory are considered common. Therefore, they hunt both wild animals and farm cows. For this they were very often punished and destroyed by entire tribes. Nobody wants neighbors like this.
Shamanism is very popular among the Bushmen tribes. They do not have leaders, but there are elders and healers who not only treat diseases, but also communicate with spirits. Bushmen are very afraid of the dead, and firmly believe in an afterlife. They pray to the sun, moon, stars. But they are not asking for health or happiness, but for success in hunting.
The Bushman tribes speak Khoisan languages, which are very difficult for Europeans to pronounce. Characteristic feature these languages have click consonants. Representatives of the tribe speak very quietly among themselves. This is a long-standing habit of hunters - so as not to spook the game.
There is confirmed evidence that a hundred years ago they were engaged in drawing. They are still found in caves rock paintings, depicting people and various animals: buffaloes, gazelles, birds, ostriches, antelopes, crocodiles.
Their drawings also contain unusual fairy tale characters: monkey people, eared snakes, crocodile-faced people. In the desert there is a whole gallery under open air, which presents these amazing drawings by unknown artists.
But now the Bushmen do not paint; they are excellent in dance, music, pantomime and stories.

I wonder if our lives would be much calmer and less nervous and hectic without all the modern technological advances? Probably yes, but it’s unlikely to be more comfortable. Now imagine that on our planet in the 21st century there are tribes living peacefully who can easily do without all this.
1. Yarawa
This tribe lives on the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean. It is believed that the age of the Yarawa is from 50 to 55 thousand years. They migrated there from Africa and now there are about 400 of them left. The Yarawa live in nomadic groups of 50 people, hunt with bows and arrows, fish in coral reefs and collect fruits and honey. In the 1990s, the Indian government wanted to give them more modern conditions for life, but the Yarava refused.
2. Yanomami
The Yanomami carry on as usual ancient image of life on the border between Brazil and Venezuela: 22 thousand live on the Brazilian side and 16 thousand on the Venezuelan side. Some of them have mastered metal processing and weaving, but the rest prefer not to contact outside world, which threatens to disrupt their centuries-old way of life. They are excellent healers and even know how to catch fish using plant poisons.
3. Nomole
About 600-800 representatives of this tribe live in tropical forests Peru, and only around 2015 they began to show up and cautiously contact civilization, not always successfully, it must be said. They call themselves "nomole", which means "brothers and sisters". It is believed that the Nomole people do not have the concept of good and evil in our understanding, and if they want something, they do not hesitate to kill their opponent in order to take possession of his thing.
4. Ava Guaya
The first contact with Ava Guaya occurred in 1989, but it is unlikely that civilization has made them happier, since deforestation actually means the disappearance of this semi-nomadic Brazilian tribe, of which there are no more than 350-450 people. They survive by hunting, live in small family groups, have many pets (parrots, monkeys, owls, agouti hares) and have proper names, naming himself after his favorite forest animal.
5. Sentinelese
If other tribes somehow make contact with the outside world, then the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island (Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal) are not particularly friendly. Firstly, they are supposedly cannibals, and secondly, they simply kill everyone who comes to their territory. In 2004, after the tsunami, many people on the neighboring islands were affected. When anthropologists flew over North Sentinel Island to check on its strange inhabitants, a group of aborigines came out of the forest and threateningly waved stones and bows and arrows in their direction.
6. Huaorani, Tagaeri and Taromenan
All three tribes live in Ecuador. The Huaorani had the misfortune of living in an oil-rich area, so most of them were resettled in the 1950s, but Tagaeri and Taromenan split from the main Huaorani group in the 1970s and went into the rainforest to continue their nomadic, ancient way of life. . These tribes are quite unfriendly and vindictive, so no special contacts were established with them.
7. Kawahiwa
The remaining members of the Brazilian Kawahiwa tribe are mostly nomads. They do not like contact with people and simply try to survive through hunting, fishing and occasional farming. The Kawahiwa are endangered due to illegal logging. In addition, many of them died after communicating with civilization, having contracted measles from people. According to conservative estimates, there are now no more than 25-50 people left.
8. Hadza
The Hadza are one of the last tribes of hunter-gatherers (about 1,300 people) living in Africa near the equator near Lake Eyasi in Tanzania. They are still living in the same place for the last 1.9 million years. Only 300-400 Hadza continue to live in the old ways and even officially reclaimed part of their land in 2011. Their way of life is based on the fact that everything is shared, and property and food should always be shared.
The people who will be discussed in this article manage to ignore the civilized world and live as if there had never been anyone else in the whole world besides them...
The Sentinelese tribe settled on North Sentinel Island, which is nominally part of India. These people are usually called the same as the island, because no one has any idea what these people call themselves.
In truth, nothing else is really known about them either. After a terrible tsunami hit the island in 2004, several helicopters were sent there to take photographs and make sure that the island was still inhabited. 
How did they manage to avoid contact with modern civilization for so long?
This is explained very simply. Take a look at this photo taken from a helicopter:
The rest of the tribe members are also aggressive. They don’t make contact, and as soon as they do, they immediately grab their bow and arrows.
In 2006, a boat with two fishermen was carried by the current into shallow waters near the island. The Sentinelese killed them and buried them on the shore. The helicopters identified the burial place of the unfortunates, but were unable to land, because at the sight of the helicopter, the local population, as you may have already noticed, immediately “opened fire.” Despite the fact that the natives obviously have no idea what a helicopter is, they persistently tried to reach the strange giant iron bird with their arrows. Well, they don’t like guests and that’s all.
The police, who in theory should go and pick up the bodies of the unfortunate fishermen, flatly refuse to do this, declaring that as soon as they approach the island, they will immediately be bombarded with poisoned darts and arrows - which, in general, can be considered a good reason.
Even our ancestors, who were more courageous than you and me, believed that getting involved with these unsociable people would cost themselves more: Marco Polo described them as “the most cruel and bloodthirsty people, always ready to grab and eat anyone who falls into their hands.”
In other words, for hundreds of years, when the whole world was busy conquering each other's lands, these guys earned such a bad reputation that they discouraged all sorts of conquerors from going there. In the end, all of “progressive humanity” decided to leave these crazy cannibals alone.
2. Korowai
This tribe lives in southeastern Papua. They first learned about the existence of other people in the 1970s, when they were discovered by a group of archaeologists and missionaries. At this time, they still used stone tools and built their dwellings in trees. However, since then, nothing has changed for them, one might say. 
All guests from the civilized world of the Korowai are told that if ever one of them changes their traditions, then the entire Earth will inevitably perish from a monstrous earthquake. It’s not clear whether this is such devotion to tradition, or just a way to get rid of the smart guys from the “mainland” who are always trying to teach them about life.
Be that as it may, they manage to remain in their previous state simply excellent. The missionaries came around a couple of times with their enlightenment, but then decided to leave them alone. What if, who knows, the earthquake isn’t completely nonsense after all?
The Korowai live in such an impenetrable area, literally beyond high mountains and dark forests, that even their own villages have practically no contact with each other, let alone the outside world. When the census service decided to visit the tribe in 2010, they had to travel for two weeks on foot and then by boat from the nearest (and in fact very remote) villages.
The Korowai do not particularly show that they do not like outside visits. And in order for the uninvited guests to get away as quickly as possible, they come up with all sorts of tricks. In addition to scaring people with a terrible, terrible earthquake, which will definitely happen as soon as the first Korowai puts on his pants, they love to scare people by talking about their bloodthirsty traditions.
But the Australian newsmakers who approached the Korowais in 2006 were fooled in the most elegant way. The tribe sent a boy to the annoying strangers, who told reporters a heartbreaking story about how cannibals were chasing him, and that at the next meal he should become the main dish of the tribe.
After the story was recorded on film and the film crew hastily retreated, the next journalists arrived, for whom exactly the same performance was staged with the rescue of the “poor boy.”
Scientists who have studied the tribe assure that these people simply have a good sense of humor and that there is no smell of cannibalism here. Just funny people who live in trees and love pranks.
3. The loneliest man in the world
This man has been living in complete isolation in the Brazilian forest for at least fifteen years.
He builds himself palm huts and digs rectangular holes one and a half meters deep in the ground. Why he needs these holes can only be guessed, because with any attempt to establish contact, he abandons his familiar place and finds a new one in order to build exactly the same hut and dig exactly the same hole.
No one in the area is building anything like this, from which scientists have concluded that this is the last surviving representative of some disappeared tribe.
How has he managed to ignore the modern world for so long?
In 1988, the new Brazilian Constitution granted local Indians rights to their ancestral lands. In theory, the idea seemed simply wonderful. But in practice... When, according to the law, it became prohibited for tribes to be “forced to relocate” to other places, they began to simply be exterminated.
Apparently, this is precisely the fate that befell our hero’s fellow tribesmen: his first meeting with the modern world ended for him with the death of everyone he knew. Who wants to make contact with monsters who have come up with the perfect tools to destroy your family and friends?
4. Old Believers
In 1978, Soviet geologists searching for iron ore deposits in remote parts of Siberia stumbled upon a log cabin. The family that lived there had no idea about the existence of civilization; they dressed in matting and ate from homemade dishes. When they saw the members of the expedition, they were horrified and began shouting something like “This is all for our sins!”
Later it turned out that the Lykov family (as they called themselves) were not the only Siberian hermits. A similar group of people lived in complete isolation in the taiga, at least until 1990.
All these people turned out to be Old Believers. In the 17th century, during the schism of the Russian Church, they fled from the massacre and settled away from the outside world. And they lived like this for several centuries. Siberia is too vast and inhospitable - no one would think of combing it to find a couple of dozen fugitives.
Agafya Lykova, 2009
5. Tribe Mashko-Piro
People from the Mashco-Piro tribe, half naked and generally looking like settlers from the prehistoric era, recently began to appear in the area of one of the Peruvian rivers popular with Western tourists.
Previously, any attempts to approach them were stopped by a hail of burning arrows. No one knows why they suddenly decided to discover their existence on their own. According to the assurances of specialists who have been in contact with them, for now their keenest interest is mainly in metal pots for cooking and machete knives.
How did they manage to stay away from civilization for so long?
The Peruvian government itself tried to limit contacts with the tribe and prohibited tourists from going ashore near the habitats of savages. The idea was to protect these people from annoying anthropologists and greedy businessmen who are ready to make money on anything.
Unfortunately, there were and are still cunning private travel companies offering clients “human safari”.
6. Pintubi Aborigines
In 1984, a small group of people from the Pintubi tribe met a white man in the desert. There would be nothing unusual in this, except for the fact that not a single person from this tribe had ever seen one before white man, and that the first white settlers arrived in Australia in 1788. Later, one of the Pintubi explained that at first he mistook the “pink man” for an evil spirit. The first meeting did not go very smoothly, but then the natives softened and decided that the “pink ones” might even be useful.
Needless to say, they were very lucky to be found so late. They wandered through the deserts all those years when it was easy to fall into slavery or straight to the next world, and met Western culture exactly when she was already ready to take them for a ride in a jeep and treat them to Coca-Cola.
How did they manage to avoid civilization for so long?
There are two reasons for this: 1) they are nomads and 2) they roam the deserts of Australia, where it is generally quite difficult to meet people.
This group might never have been discovered. Shortly before their first meeting with the white man, the Pintubi accidentally met with the “civilized” aborigines. Unfortunately, the appearance of the nomads with loincloths made of human hair and two-meter spears was too exotic even for indigenous Australians. One of the “civilized” ones fired into the air and the Pintubi ran away.
These people do not know what electricity is or how to drive cars, they live as their ancestors lived for centuries, getting food by hunting and fishing. They cannot read or write, and can die from a common cold or scratch. It's all about wild tribes that still exist on our planet.
There are not many such communities closed from civilization; they live mainly in warm countries, in Africa, South America, Asia and Australia. Today it is believed that no more than 100 such tribes have survived on the entire planet. Sometimes it is almost impossible to study their life and culture, since they live too isolated and do not want to have contact with the outside world, or their immune system is not ready to “meet” modern bacteria, and any disease, the course of which modern man may not even notice, it will be fatal for a savage. Unfortunately, civilization is still “advancing”, uncontrolled cutting of trees is taking place almost everywhere, people are still developing new lands, and wild tribes are forced to leave their lands, and sometimes even go to the “big” world.
Papuans
This people lives in New Guinea and is found in Melanesia, on the islands of Halmahera, Timor and Alor.
In terms of anthropogenic appearance, the Papuans are closest to the Melanesians, but with a completely different language and culture. Some tribes speak completely different languages, which are not even related. Today their national language is Tok Pisin Creole.
In total there are approximately 3.7 million Papuans, with some wild tribes numbering no more than 100 people. Among them there are many nationalities: Bonkins, Gimbu, Ekari, Chimbu and others. It is believed that these people inhabited Oceania 20-25 thousand years ago.
Every community has public house, called buambramba. This is a kind of cultural and spiritual center of the entire village. In some villages you can see huge house, in which everyone lives together, its length can reach 200 meters.
Papuans are farmers, the main crops grown are taro, banana, yam and coconut. The harvest must be stored standing, that is, collected only for eating. Savages also raise pigs and hunt.
Pygmies
These are the wild tribes of Africa. Even the ancient Egyptians knew about their existence. They are mentioned by Homer and Herodotus. However, the existence of pygmies was confirmed for the first time only in the 19th century, when they were discovered in the Uzle and Ituri river basin. Today, these people are known to exist in Rwanda, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, Zaire and the forests of Gabon. You can even meet pygmies in South Asia, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia.
Distinctive feature Pygmies are short in stature, from 144 to 150 centimeters. Their hair is curly and their skin is light brown. The body is usually quite large, and the legs and arms are short. Pygmies are classified as a separate race. Special language It has not been revealed among these peoples whether they communicate in those dialects whose peoples live nearby: Asua, Kimbuti and others.
Another feature of this people is the short life path. In some settlements, people only live until they are 16 years old. Girls give birth while they are still very small. In other settlements, women were found to be going through menopause as early as 28 years old. A meager diet threatens their health; pygmies even die from chicken pox and measles.
To date, the total number of this people has not been established; according to some estimates, there are about 40 thousand, according to others - 200.
For a long time, the pygmies did not even know how to make fire; they carried the hearth with them. They engage in gathering and hunting.
Bushmen
These wild tribes live in Namibia and are also found in Angola, South Africa, Botswana, and Tanzania.
These people are classified as capoid race, with lighter skin than blacks. The tongue has many clicking sounds.
The Bushmen lead an almost vagabond lifestyle, constantly half-starved. The system of building a society does not presuppose the presence of leaders, but there are elders who are chosen from among the most intelligent and authoritative individuals in the community. This people does not have a cult of ancestors, but they are very afraid of the dead, so they conduct a unique burial ceremony. The diet contains ant larvae, the so-called “Bushman rice”.
Today, most Bushmen work on farms and little adhere to their former way of life.
Zulus
These are the wild tribes of Africa (southern part). There are believed to be about 10 million Zulus. They speak Zulu, the most common language in South Africa.
Many representatives of this nationality have become adherents of Christianity, but many observe their own faith. According to the canons of the Zulu religion, death is the result of witchcraft, and all life on the planet was created by a creator. This people has preserved many traditions; in particular, believers can perform the ritual of ablution about 3 times a day.
The Zulus are quite organized, they even have a king, today it is Goodwill Zwelantini. Each tribe consists of clans, which include even smaller communities. Each of them has its own leader, and in the family this role is played by the husband.
The most expensive rite of wild tribes is marriage. To take a wife, a man will have to give her parents 100 kilograms of sugar, corn and 11 cows. For such gifts you can rent an apartment in the suburbs of Durban, with a gorgeous view of the ocean. That's why there are a lot of bachelors in tribes.
Korowai
Perhaps this is the most brutal tribe in the whole world. These people were discovered only in the 90s of the last century.
The life of the wild tribe is very harsh, they still use the teeth and tusks of animals as weapons and tools. These people pierce their ears and noses with the teeth of predators and live in the impenetrable forests of Papua - New Guinea. They sleep in trees, in huts, very similar to those that many built in childhood. And the forests here are so dense and impenetrable that neighboring villages They don’t even know about another settlement located a few kilometers away.
The pig is considered a holy animal, the meat of which is eaten by the Korowai only after the boar is old. The animal is used as a riding pony. Often a piglet is taken from its mother and raised from childhood.
The women of the wild tribe are common, but sexual intercourse occurs only once a year; on the remaining 364 days it is not allowed to touch them.
The cult of the warrior flourishes among the Korowai. These are very hardy people; for several days in a row they can feed only on larvae and worms. It is believed that they are cannibals, and the first travelers who managed to reach the settlement were simply eaten.
Now that the Korowai have learned about the existence of another society, they do not seek to leave the forests, and everyone who comes here tells a legend that if they deviate from their traditions, there will be a terrible earthquake and the entire planet will perish. Korowai scare away uninvited guests with stories about their bloodthirstiness, although so far there has been no evidence of this.
Maasai
These are the true noble warriors of the African continent. They are engaged in cattle breeding, but never steal livestock from neighbors and lower tribes. These people are able to protect themselves from lions and European conquerors, although in the 21st century the too much pressure of civilization, which is increasingly advancing, has led to the fact that the tribes are rapidly decreasing in number. Now children herd livestock almost from the age of 3, women are responsible for the entire household, and the remaining men mostly relax or fight back against uninvited guests.
It is among these people that they have a tradition of pulling back their earlobes and inserting round objects the size of a good saucer into the lower lip.
Maori
The most bloodthirsty tribes of New Zealand and the Cook Islands. In these places, Maori are the indigenous population.
These people are cannibals who terrified more than one traveler. The path of development of Maori society went in a different direction - from man to animal. The tribes were always located in areas protected by nature itself, additionally carrying out fortification work, creating multi-meter ditches and installing a palisade, on which the dried heads of enemies were always displayed. They are prepared carefully, cleaned of the brain, strengthened the nasal and eye sockets and bulges with special boards and smoked over low heat for about 30 hours.
Wild tribes of Australia
This country has preserved enough large number tribes living far from civilization and having interesting customs. For example, the men of the Arunta tribe in an interesting way show respect for each other by giving their wife to a comrade for short term. If the gifted man refuses, then enmity begins between families.
And in one of the tribes of Australia in childhood For boys, the foreskin is cut and the urinary canal is pulled out, thus creating two genital organs.
Amazon Indians
According to conservative estimates, about 50 different wild Indian tribes live in the tropical forests.
Pirahu. This is one of the most undeveloped peoples on the planet. There are about 200 people in the settlement, they live in the Brazilian jungle. The Aborigines use the most primitive language on the planet, they have no history or myths, they don’t even have a number system.
Pirahu do not have the right to tell stories that did not happen to them. You cannot enter new words or words heard from other people. The language does not designate animals, vegetation, or flowers.
These people have never been seen to be aggressive; they live in trees and huts. They often act as guides, but do not accept any objects of civilization.
Kayapo tribe. This is one of the wild tribes of the world, which lives in the eastern part of the river basin. Their number is about 3 thousand people. They firmly believe that they are controlled by a man who descended from heaven. Some Kayapo household items really resemble astronaut spacesuits. Despite the fact that the entire village walks around naked, God still appears in clothing and even with a headdress.
Korubo. This people is perhaps the most unstudied of all the tribes in the world that live remote from civilization. All residents are quite aggressive towards any guests. They engage in gathering and hunting, often attacking neighboring tribes. Even women take part in the battles. A distinctive feature of this tribe is that they do not paint themselves or get tattoos, unlike most aborigines.
The life of wild tribes is quite harsh. If a child is born with a cleft palate, he is immediately killed, and this happens quite often. A child is often killed even after he has grown up, if he suddenly falls ill.
The tribe lives in the typical Indian long rooms with several entrances. Several families live in such houses. Men of this tribe can have several wives.
The most basic problem of all wild tribes is the inexorable expansion of habitats civilized man. There is a huge risk that these almost primitive people will soon disappear, unable to withstand the onslaught of the modern world.
Every year there are fewer and fewer places on Earth in which primitive tribes can live. They get food by hunting and fishing, they believe that the gods send rain, and they cannot read or write. They may die from a common cold or flu. Wild tribes are a treasure trove for anthropologists and evolutionists. Sometimes the meeting occurs by chance, and sometimes scientists specifically look for them. According to scientists, there are currently about one hundred wild tribes living in South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Every year it becomes more and more difficult for these peoples, but they do not give up and do not leave the territories of their ancestors, continuing to live the same way they lived.
Amondava Indian Tribe
The Amondava Indians live in the Amazon jungle. The tribe has no concept of time - the corresponding words (month, year) are simply absent in the language of the Amondava Indians. The Amondawa Indian language can describe events occurring in time, but it is powerless to describe time itself as a separate concept. Civilization first came to the Amondava Indians in 1986.
The Amondawa people do not mention their ages. Simply, moving from one period of his life to another or changing his status in the tribe, the Amondawa Indian changes his name. But the most intriguing thing seems to be the absence in the Amondawa language of reflecting the passage of time by spatial means. Simply put, speakers of many languages of the world use expressions such as “this event is left behind” or “before this” (precisely in the temporal sense, that is, in the meaning “before this”). But in the Amondava language there are no such constructions.
Piraha tribe
The Piraha tribe lives in the area of the Maisi River, a tributary of the Amazon. The tribe became known thanks to Christian missionary Daniel Everett, who met them in 1977. First of all, Everett was struck by the Indian language. It had only three vowels and seven consonants, and no numerals.
The past has practically no meaning for them. Pirahãs do not stockpile: caught fish, hunting spoils or collected fruits are always eaten immediately. No storage and no plans for the future. The culture of this tribe is essentially limited to the present day and the useful things they have. The Pirahã are practically unfamiliar with the worries and fears that plague the majority of the population of our planet.
Himba tribe
The Himba tribe lives in Namibia. The Himbas are engaged in cattle breeding. All the huts where people live are located around the pasture. The beauty of tribal women is determined by the presence large number jewelry and the amount of clay applied to the skin. The presence of clay on the body serves a hygienic purpose - clay allows the skin not to be sunburned and the skin gives off less water.
Women in the tribe are involved in all household activities. They care for livestock, build huts, raise children and make jewelry. Men in the tribe are assigned the role of husbands. Polygamy is accepted in the tribe if the husband is able to feed the family. The cost of a wife reaches 45 cows. A wife's fidelity is not obligatory. A child born from another father will remain in the family.
Huli tribe
The Huli tribe live in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The first Papuans of New Guinea are believed to have migrated to the island more than 45,000 years ago. These indigenous people fight for land, pigs and women. They also spend a lot of effort trying to impress their opponent. Huli paint their faces with yellow, red and white paints, and also have a famous tradition of making fancy wigs from their own hair.
Sentinelese tribe
The tribe lives on an island in the Indian Ocean. The Sentinelese have absolutely no contact with other tribes, preferring to enter into intra-tribal marriages and maintain their population around 400 people. One day, National Geographic employees tried to get to know them better by first laying out various offerings on the coast. Of all the gifts, the Sentinelese kept only red buckets; everything else was thrown into the sea.
According to scientists, the islanders are the descendants of the first people who left Africa; the period of complete isolation of the Sentinelese can reach 50-60 thousand years; this tribe is stuck in the Stone Age.
The study of the tribe is carried out from the air or from ships, the islanders were left alone. Their piece of land surrounded by water became a kind of nature reserve, and the Sentinelese were allowed to live according to their own laws.
Tribe Karavai
The tribe was discovered in the late 90s of the 20th century. The number is estimated at approximately 3,000 people. Small monkey-like loaves live in huts in the trees, otherwise the “sorcerers” will get them. Members of the tribe are reluctant to let strangers in and behave aggressively.
Women in the tribe are considered common, but they make love only once a year; at other times, women cannot be touched. Only a few of the loaves can write and read. Wild pigs are domesticated as pets.
Tribes of Nicobar and Andaman Islands
On the islands located in the Indian Ocean, to this day there live 5 tribes, the development of which stopped in the Stone Age.
They are unique in their culture and way of life. The official authorities of the islands look after the aborigines and try not to interfere in their lives and everyday life
Andamanese are the indigenous people of the Andaman Islands. There are now 200-300 Jarawa people and about 100 Onge people, as well as about 50 Great Andamanese. This tribe has survived far from civilization, where an untouched corner of primeval nature amazingly continues to exist. Research has shown that the Andaman Islands were inhabited by direct descendants primitive people about 70 thousand years ago, who arrived from Africa.
The famous explorer and oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau visited the Andamans, but he was not allowed to get to the local tribes due to the law protecting this endangered tribe.
