26 Existing Primitive Tribes. Animals Aren’t The Only Ones Going Extinct
Tribes. The most primitive form of society. Living today’s easy life,with the help of so much technology, commodities and medicine, it’s almost impossible to imagine how tribes lived and how they managed to survive. The answer: they stuck together and did everything for the good of the tribe. That is one thing we lack in modern society, a greater sense of camaraderie, when your well-being depends on the well-being of the others around you.
You might think that we have surpassed the tribal society era, that technology and modern living conditions are available everywhere in the word. You’ll be wrong. Tribes still exist and not only in the Amazon forest, but all over the world. Those tribes may or may not be aware of how far the rest of the world has developed, yet choose to follow the ways and traditions of their ancestors from thousands of years ago. They are true gems of our planet and our species, but those too are slowly but surely becoming extinct.
