Attenborough has no respect for crabs. Always gives them ridiculous music. They are jesters to him

This painting is one of history's most controversial and influential works of art.

It's by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, who painted it all the way back in 1875.

Why was it so controversial? Because it totally redefined the meaning of the word "art"...

The Huaorani tribe, also known as Waorani or Waos, is an indigenous group residing in Eastern Ecuador within the Amazon rainforest. With a population of approximately 4,000 members, the tribe maintains a unique cultural and linguistic heritage.

Their language is distinct and not known to be related to any other, reflecting their historical isolation.

The Huaorani people, who have a rich history of tree climbing as a vital skill for their way of life, have undergone physical adaptations in their feet. As a result, their feet have flattened over time.

Their main source of food comes from hunting monkeys and small game with spears and blowguns. The limited gene pool, continuous interaction with the challenging environment, and the need to climb trees have all contributed to these adaptations. In fact, some individuals in the tribe have six toes on each foot and six functional fingers on each hand. It's fascinating to note that the structure of their feet changes over time, starting with straight toes at birth.

The first peaceful contact with outsiders occurred relatively late, in the late 1950s, by American missionaries. Prior interactions were often marked by violence. The tribe's territory has been under threat due to oil exploration and illegal logging, which has led to conflicts with the outside world.

The tribe's culture is deeply rooted in their environment, and they practice a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, relying on the rainforest for sustenance and resources. Their traditional social structure is based on small, extended family groups, and they have a rich oral tradition, including storytelling and music.

Despite the challenges they face, the Huaorani continue to fight for their rights and the preservation of their culture and land.

Before we had the term “situationship,” Toni Morrison gave us two of the most brutal paragraphs ever written in the English language about the subject:

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.
