Inside Indonesia's Tree-dwelling Cannibal Tribe (PHOTOS) by limpopo: 3:42pm On Aug 20, 2017 |
These incredible images reveal Indonesia’s tree- dwelling cannibal tribe who had no idea other people existed until the 1970s. The pictures show the Korowai people of West Papua in Indonesia building their treehouses, marching off to hunt and carrying their children in huge nets over their shoulders. The Korowai, also called the Kolufo, are the people who live in south-eastern West Papua in the indonesian Province of Papua, close to the border with Papua New Guinea. They number about 3,000. It is possible that the Korowai were unaware of the existence of any people besides themselves, before outsiders made contact with them in 1970. Source: tori.ng

The first documented contact by Western scientists with members of a band of western Korowai, or eastern Citak, took place on March 17 and 18, 1974. The expedition was co-led by anthropologist Peter Van Arsdale, now of the University of Denver, geographer Robert Mitton, and community developer Mark Grundhoefer.

The majority of the Korowai clans live in tree houses on their isolated territory but since 1980 some have moved into the recently opened villages nearby... These are the tribe’s traditional homes, perched high in the trees

Since 1980 some have moved into the recently opened villages of Yaniruma at the Becking River banks, Mu, and Mbasman. The Korowai are hunter-gatherers and horticulturalists who practice shifting cultivation. They have excellent hunting and fishing skills. 1st pic: Korowai hunters in the rainforest searching for the day’s food. 2nd pic: A female member of the tribe sits at home by the fire nursing her child..

The pics still support the hypothesis that says humans descended from ape like ancestors. Homo whatever be it erect us or whatever down to homo sapiens(wise human) share a lot in common in their sourjoun through life and evolution. Most of the extinct apes in the homo family lived on trees deep in the jungles. I would love to know when and how modern man lost its innocence. Just look at how those hunters are oblivious of their unclothedness. |
