Life of the Hadza Hunter.

The Hadza people are an ethnic group living in central Tanzania around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and in the neighboring Serengeti Plateau. The Hadza people raise no livestock, grow no food, and live without calendars or rules. They are living a hunter-gatherer existence that is little changed from 10,000 years ago. It is estimated that the Hadza number just under 1000. Today they are the last functioning hunter-gatherers in Africa. 

Language :Their click language echos the earliest language spoken by ancient humans tens of thousands of years ago.

Subsistence
: The Hadza are highly skilled, hunters and foragers, who adjust their diet according to season and circumstance.
Division of labor
 Women forage for berries, tubers and greens depending on availability. They use a digging stick and large skin pouches hung around the neck for carrying items. While men specialize in procuring meat, honey, and baobab fruit, women specialize in tubers, berries, and greens. 


Community:
 The Hadza move camp for a number of reasons. Conflict is resolved primarily by leaving camp; camps frequently split for this reason. Camps are abandoned when someone falls ill and dies as illness is associated with the place they fell ill.
Religion
 : their own religion is minimalist. They do have a cosmology and men can tell endless stories about how things came to be.
Clothing : Although most Hadza wear western style shorts and shirts, many still prefer traditional dried animal skins draped across the body as clothing.
 

Trade : Hadza today trade meat, skins, and honey in exchange for tobacco, marijuana, maize, millet, clothes, beads, cooking pots, and scrap iron for making their axes and arrowheads
