Savannah - The Hadza, the hunter gatherers

136 images Created 2 Dec 2014

The hunter gatherer diet - the oldest diet.

The Hadza of Tanzania are the world’s last full-time hunter-gatherers. They live on what they find or hunt with bow and arrows: game, honey, and plants, including tubers, berries, and baobab fruit. They live in temporary camps around the Yaeda valley, in Tanzania.
This is part of a global story shot for National Geographic and titled "The Evolution of Diet", on self-sufficient communities, their lifestyle and food habits.
