- defrost 3y agoThey're not frozen in time. Spear fishing hunter gatherers, for example, are out there but they've moved on to using steel rebar for barb points over stingraytail barbs, wire wrap for binding over chewing just the right branch fibres, and iPhones over smoke signals. It's similar but not the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gmCX7R-W4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gmCX7R-W4c

That covers pure traditional hunter-gather | slash and burn agrarian | herding, etc as traditional lifestyles that are still mostly practiced in mostly traditional forms by some parts of communities but also supplemented with tourism, children going to school to learn law and other skills, FiFo mine work, etc. https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30500591 https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30500591 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmKxmxk6Gas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmKxmxk6Gas
- eszed 3y agoThanks for the story and the video. They're both interesting, but had no tech-specific information. If anyone has anything like that, I'd be interested in seeing it. I had read a bit about Masaai keeping track of each other and their herds with mobile phones. Thank you for reminding me about that.
