Q&@
ANTHROPOLOGICAL
& ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE
INDICATES THAT ARCHAIC HUNTER~GATHERERS
WERE PROBABLY ANIMISTS: they believed that there was no essential gap
separating humans from other animals!? The world - i.e. The Local Valley & The Surrounding Mountain Chains -
belonged to àll ìts inhabitants, and everyone followed a nearly common set of rules?! These rules involved ceaseless
negotiation between àll concerned beings! People talked with animals, trees & stones, as well as with airy fairies, evil demons
& assorted ghosts, Angels & Devils! Óut of this wèb of communications emerged the values and norms that were binding on humans,
elephants, oak trees and wraiths alike? The animist world view stìll guides some hunter-gatherer communities that have survived into this 'modern' age! One of them is the Nayaka people, who live in the tropical forests of south India. The anthropologist Danny Naveh,
who studied the Nayaka for several years, reports that when a Nayaka walking in the jungle encounters a dangerous animal such as
a tiger, snake or elephant, he or she might address the animal and say: 'YOU LIVE IN THE FOREST. I too live here in the forest. You
came here to eat, and I too came here to gather roots and tubers. I didn't come to hurt you!' A Nayaka was once killed by a male
elephant they called 'the elephant who always walks alone'? The Nayakas refused to help officials from the Indian forestry
department capture him! Théy explained to Naveh that this elephant used to be very close to another male elephant,
with whom he always roamed. One day the forestry department captured the second elephant, and since then 'the
elephant who always walks alone' had become angry & violent! 'How would you have felt if your spouse had been
taken away from you? This is exactly how this elephant felt. These two elephants sometimes separated at night,
each walking its own path ~~~ but in the morning they always came together again! On thàt dáy, the elephant
saw his buddy falling, lying down. If two are always together and then you shoot one ~ how would the other
FÉÉL?' Such an animistic attitude strikes many industrialized people as alien......
