Justin asks about modern day HG's. Some years ago, a video caught my eye in the back of our local rent a flick store. The cover was of this really trim guy in a loincloth, who went to live with a group of hunter gatherers somewhere deep in the Rain Forest. Anyway, I can't remember the name of either him or the movie. But what I do remember was that he was German, and decided to leave "civilization". He lived with these people, for a rather long period of time (maybe 4 years?), and the film chronicled his transformation both physically, mentally and emotionally. He really began to look like the tribe. He documented his experience on film. It was a beautiful movie, and what was really amazing was how close he became to his new tribe and they to him. I do remember that this particular group had the huge hanging earlobes split with tons of earrings, even the men. I think he eventually did return back to Germany, and if my memory serves correct, I believe he was a professor.. Maybe someone on the list knows more and can fill in the missing links... Sorry for being vague. Cheers, Judy Genova, cavegirl _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
