My professor asks the questions: Why are Hadza livelihoods so important for
understanding human diversity? Is it because they are “remnants of the human past”? (The answer to that question is NO, because Hadza are as MODERN as YOU). Is it because they live in a small “primitive” society? (The answer to that question is NO, because Hadza
society is not small and not primitive). Is it because Hadza are “natural conservationists”
who live “lightly on the land” (The answer to that question is NO, because while Hadza
have deep reverence for their homelands, and are heavily involved in trying to conserve
them, they are NOT the “natural custodians of nature”, any more so than YOU are).

ecological science and traditional ecological practice important? Or, why is a deeper
understanding of egalitarian material economic relationships (common among foragers)
