FREE ESSAY ON KUNG TRIBE

KUNG TRIBE

When I went on the Internet I found that the most interesting topic on culture. I learned
about the !Kung. I got interested in them because they seemed to always be in the
anthropology book. In the book these people are always talked about. I wanted to know why
these people were so famous among anthropologists.
I found that the !Kung were a tribe ruled by themselves and have no king or chief. They
are people of the Kalahari Desert and have the ability to adapt to their surroundings.
They are a foraging people. They hunt and gather. The men do most of the hunting but in
special circumstances the women are forced to do the hunting of small game. The women do
the most work. They are usually foraging for the food three to four days a week. It said
that the men do the hunting for the most part. The women are also in charge of cooking
and cleaning. They seem to have to do most of the work. They do what most old fashioned
women did and most of the man work. These people are very simplistic and have one thing
in mind and that is to survive. 
These people are really neat people to learn about. I admire their simplistic lifestyles
and wish that I could have the same. In this article it described their way of life. I
really hope one day when my brother becomes an anthropologist that he takes me to Africa.
It sounds like there are a lot of cultures still untouched there.
