Description

Aborigines, Bushmen, and Fuegians are among the best documented of the world's hunter-gatherers. I have summarized the best informed sources on the intact ways of life of these three peoples to determine what they had in common before they separated around 50,000 years ago and went to the ends of the earth in the southern hemisphere. The traits they retained provide a basis for reconstructing what all peoples had in common before leaving Africa and beginning to settle three continents that previously had no human inhabitants.Two Fuegian tribes, the Yahgan and the Ona, were at similar stages of development, but their ways of life differed considerably. Both preferred meat, but the Yahgan had canoes and were usually able to hunt sea mammals and birds, and they could always rely on gathering shellfish. The Ona lived mainly inland and hunted terrestrial mammals. Since southernmost South America has few edible wild plants, Fuegians could not depend on vegetables to supplement their meat diet, and in this respect, they differed significantly from Aborigines and Bushmen. Of the three peoples, the Yahgan's canoe and lodge were among the most sophisticated examples of their types worldwide. The Ona made some of the world's finest bows and projectile points. Bushmen used a rudimentary bow but a composite arrow to deliver poison. Aborigines invented the boomerang and also used a spearthrower. The cultural achievements of all three peoples included extensive mythologies and elaborate ceremonies. What they had in common is more significant than how they differed, but in isolation they also developed distinctive cultures and adapted successfully to a wide range of different environments.This study of Fuegians is part of a 10-volume series entitled Were We Like Them? Seven volumes were published from 2016-2020: Aborigines (vols. 1-3), Bushmen (vols. 4-5), and Fuegians (vols. 6-7). Three additional volumes are in preparation with a planned publication date of 2021: Aborigines, Bushmen, and Fuegians: Comparative Illustrations (vol. 8) and the 50,000-Year Datum (vols. 9-10).
