A Reassessment of the !Kung San

Please reevaluate Kansan. Kansan is a group of hunters living in the northern part of the Kalahari desert. In the past 30 years there have been many ecological and cultural changes in this group, but this white paper also examines the aggregation and survival patterns of these groups. Bentley checked it! Hypothesis that Kansan's total birthrate and women's energy survival pattern directly influence the birthrate (1984: 79).

The Kung San tribe is located in Angola in South Africa and Botswana in Namibia, near the Kalahari desert. ! The people of Kung call themselves Zhun / twasi, which means "real people". When the research was for the first time! When Kung was in progress, it was done by the Harvard Anthropologist in the 1960's. These anthropologists have conducted long-term research on their daily lives. In doing research, anthropologists stated that "Kung" is relatively isolated, peaceful and shared. Those people are trying to define "Kan" as an ideal society, but that is not true. When Gong's murder rate turned out to be very high, the researchers proved wrong and half of all the children were murdered with this disease. This is not an ideal society

Many anthropologists work with collectors and hunters, but Richard Borshay Lee is cooperating with Khan San of Kalahari in the most challenging paradigm. Mr. Lee has not only learned their wisdom with Kang. He is an expert in measuring games, calculating calories, and calculating working hours. Lee's groundbreaking essay is "what a hunter does hard" or "how to contribute to scarce resources" (1968). Valuable material. These titles are misleading. Lee actually changed the ideas of these groups to exclusive hunters and proved the importance of gathering by experience: "The basics of Bushman diet are obtained from sources other than meat ... vegetable Food accounts for 60% of actual diet. "(1968: 43). It also opposed the idea of ​​scarce resources. "Living in the natural world is not necessarily annoying, barbarous and short-lived.

It exists in the Kalahari desert of Africa, a group of hunter gatherers call it it! Campbush man has been living for thousands of years, depending on nature alone to survive. They are an example of Richard Lee's theory of "primitive rich society". They believe that hunter gatherers are blessed with their needs and can get what they can do, not what they want. I think it is difficult for this kind of society to survive under intolerable living conditions with poor resources and food supply! Campbush man actually lived a peaceful and relaxing life.
