1. Yanomamo: Farmers who live in small villages along the border between
Brazil and Venezuela. Warfare and feats of male strength play such an
important role in their way f life. Anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon called
them the Fierce People. Warfare is so common that approximately 30% of all
deaths among Yanomamo males result from wounds received in battle.
Conflict within the village causes groups to split up and form new
settlements.
2. San: their life is based on cooperation. San groups have their own territories,
and they take great care not to trespass n the lands of others. Within groups,
all members-except the very young, the very old, and the sick- take part in
the search for food the group shares the game it has hunted with all its
members. If there is little game to hunt, the group breaks into smaller units
to look for food. When food is more plentiful, these small units come back
together.
