Hadza people of Tanzania

The Hadza people of Tanzania are one of the last big-game hunters in Africa and one of the last groups on Earth to still forage on foot with traditional methods. The Hadza people participated in a study on hunter-gatherer movement patterns to see if humans use similar patterns to animals when searching for a long period of time.
