Description: Techno-economic primitivism of the highest order, social and physical isolation of an extreme nature, a minimal world-view, hostile encounters and dwindling population are some of the markers of the aborigines under study in this book. It highlights a tribal scenario which hardly finds a parallel anywhere on the globe.
