seeder Posted January 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Quote Life among the monkey hunters: The Amazon tribe that has evolved flat feet after years of catching primates to eat by climbing trees and shooting them with blowpipes The Huaorani tribe - there are only 4,000 of them - live a simple life in the rainforests of eastern Ecuador They live off the land, shooting blowpipes to kill monkeys, which they then skin and roast over open fires They also eat peccary pigs and toucans as well as plants and herbs which they have foraged in the forests Their lifestyle has led to their feet evolving - most have very flat feet, which help them to climb the trees In 1990 the Ecuadorean government set up the Waorani Ethnic Reserve to protect the forest they live in Photographer Pete Oxford said: 'One of my greatest joys is spending time with people unlike myself' Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4135698/The-Amazon-tribe-kills-eats-monkeys.html#ixzz4WIkfcsvM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Falukorv Posted January 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Huaorani Indians splayed feet Huaorani Indian with splayed feet. Several of the Huaorani have these feet problems and there are some with 6 toes on each foot. Bameno Community. Yasuni National Park. Amazon rainforest, ECUADOR. South America This Indian tribe were basically uncontacted until 1956 when missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics made contact with them. However there are still some groups from the tribe that remain uncontacted. They are known as the Tagaeri & Taromenane. Traditionally these Indians were very hostile and killed many people who tried to enter into their territory. Their territory is in the Yasuni National Park which is now also being exploited for oil.
