  > Just visit a tribe still living the old ways. This is actually much worse data than it is usually assumed to be.

Back when the old ways weren't so old, the people practicing them lived in much better environments. (Pygmies living in the jungle are something of an exception to this - farmers cannot live in the jungle, so even if the jungle is fairly productive its residents can avoid being displaced, until the farmers start clearing the trees.)
