Last of the Hunter/Gatherers. And an anecdote about empathy...or the lack there of.
On July 17th, I had the great honor of meeting an amazing, but endangered group of people who rightfully lay claim to being one of the oldest lineages on the planet - the Ju/'Hoansi-San, better known as Bushmen. The last of the hunter/gatherers, it is said that only 55,000 Bushmen remain in Botswana, and less than 27,000 in Namibia. This experience for me was just like becoming a character in an H.G. Wells novel and being shunted back thousands of years into prehistoric time.
