The !Kung people

The !Kung people, also known as the Ju/'hoansi, are indigenous hunter-gatherers primarily living in the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa. They are known for their deep knowledge of their environment and efficient survival skills, including tracking animals and gathering edible plants. The !Kung have a rich cultural heritage, featuring complex social structures, storytelling, and unique spiritual beliefs. Their lifestyle is characterized by communal living and shared resources, which contrasts with modern, individualistic societies. Despite facing challenges from outside influences, the !Kung continue to maintain significant aspects of their traditional way of life.
