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 mediciuarreledonfessed to leaving

the sick to die.
