Where are the iPhone using hunter gatherers? Not snark: I want to know more about them.



Papua New Guinea, Northern Australia communities, also cattle herders in Africa.

That covers pure traditional hunter-gather | slash and burn agrarian | herding, etc as traditional lifestyles that are still mostly practiced in mostly traditional forms by some parts of communities but also supplemented with tourism, children going to school to learn law and other skills, FiFo mine work, etc.

Thanks for the story and the video. They're both interesting, but had no tech-specific information. If anyone has anything like that, I'd be interested in seeing it.

I had read a bit about Masaai keeping track of each other and their herds with mobile phones. Thank you for reminding me about that.
