A lost tribe of Stone Age people known as the 
Tasaday was discovered in the tropical rain forest in 
the Philippines in the 1970s. The tribe consisted of 
24 people, with completely unique customs and 
language. They displayed no aggressive tendencies, 
either to outsiders or each other. They reached 
decisions at informal meetings at which men and 
women spoke equally. Age alone commanded 
respect. They lived a nomadic existence, and knew 
nothing of farming. Living mostly on wild potatoes, 
fruits and bamboo shoots, the Tasaday derived some 
protein from crabs and small fish. Monkey meat was 
considered a delicacy to be brought out only on 
special occasions. Although they appeared in good 
health, they practised no medicine, and confessed to 
leaving the sick to die.
