dancing bushmen, namibia, 2001
southern africa's san bushmen, like these youth dancing at namibia's nyae nyae conservancy, are among the most intensively studied aboriginal people on earth. interest in this culture is stoked by the idea that the bushmen are one of our last connections with a hunter-gatherer existence, a way of life that was a human universal until some 10,000 years ago.

跳舞的布希曼人，纳米比亚，2001
南非的沙漠布希曼人与这些纳米比亚奈奈保护区正在跳舞的年轻人一样，是世界上被集中研究的土著之一。该族文化的有趣点在于布希曼人（又名郭依族人）是现存最久远的依然保持采集狩猎生活方式的族群。采集狩猎的生活方式在一万年前的人群中普遍使用。
