A vibrant portrait of the "original affluent society"--the Bushmen of southern Africa--by the anthropologist who has spent much of the last twenty-five years documenting their encounter with modernity.
`Insightful and well-written ... Suzman chronicles ... how much humankind can still learn from the disappearing way of life of the most marginalised communities on earth' YUVAL NOAH HARARI
What can we learn from the bushmen? If the success of a civilization is measured by its endurance over time, then the Bushmen of the Kalahari are by far the most successful in human history. Anthropologist James Suzman spent twenty-five years documenting their way of life and encounters with modern society, gathering invaluable lessons about work, wealth, happiness, equality and time.
